Question NFC on Non NFC phone

I was wondering if you can put in NFC into your phone like open it up and install the chip or whatever. Or like be able to plug it on to your phone thru the charger port. I also heard that SD-cards that can connect to wifi can that apply with NFC. if my question is stupid and ignorant feel free to say so. I dont want to impose or be a stupid noob.

Thank you.

I have a Inspire 4g (rooted)

P.s I think this is the wrong thread, I AM SOOOOO SORRY IF IT IS.

No, you can't. There are some memory cards with integrated NFC, but they're very low storage capacity (1 or 2GB).

HTC Evo 4G -> HTC Evo 3D/Nexus S 4G -> Galaxy S II -> iPhone 4S -> Galaxy S II -> Galaxy Nexus -> Galaxy S3 i9300 -> Galaxy Note 2 i317

I think they have magnets abouts the size of a credit card or smaller that will stick to the back of your phone.

I havent had a device with NFC yet, but it may be a must-have for my next device.

I think that UK is going to accelerate the implantation on the occasion of the Olympics.

Surely, a requirement for my next device will be leading NFC.
