Google wallet works on a stock vzw phone....Hell has frozen over. I felt even though we have Kit Kat I had this bad feeling vzw would do something to block Google wallet tap and pay functionality.

I guess I was wrong. the apocalypse must be near...lol

just used it at cvs and worked perfect.

I would have assumed so. Oo Google just recently announced that only kitkat devices would work with Google wallet. :p of course, it is Verizon

Really? All I got was "reader detected. Your last transaction may not hence been successful."

Any ideas?

You might need to tell them to press the credit card button first or that you want to make a credit card transaction so they can do what they need to in order to process a credit card payment.

Alright I'll give that a try tomorrow and see what happens, thanks!

Worked for me on the second try. Gave me the same "Error Adding Your Account", but then I tried again right after and it worked! :D

After I turned on NFC it prompted me to replace ISIS as the default payment method.

I setup ISIS to get my 40.00 credit then got home and switched to Wallet and just used it. Worked great. Was spotty with the M7 using the modified Wallet.
I wish I didn't open/close a serve account last year for a $20 credit. I'd love to get a $40 credit, but it's not open to people who held a serve account in the past. Nice to know wallet is working fine though.

Works on a stock VZW Moto X running 4.2.2 fwiw... I think once it worked how ISIS did, there was no "reason" to block it anymore - but i could be wrong.

Google sort of forced verizon's hand because it completely changed the way Wallet gets security, so verizon was not able to block it anymore. It was made to work with HCE so any device that supports HCE should work with wallet tap and pay now. Take that verizon!

Works well

I used Isis for the 1st time today at McD's and it worked great. Thanks to the board for the $40 credit heads up. Free lunches for me for a while. :)

Yep. Its better for all phones, not just Verizon ones. Any phone with HCE support in the ROM (which is almost all 4.4 ROMs) will work with Wallet and Isis.

No more secure element to worry about screwing up. This was a pain for people who swapped ROMs and whatnot and forgot to reset wallet.

If you are using Isis with Serve, you should also be getting a $1 credit back with each transaction >$1, a promo that goes through May?

Works especially well to buy me a Pepsi @ $1.06 each time :)

That is enough to get me to use isis instead of Google wallet until June, even though I prefer Google wallet.
