Just wanting to be part of your tribe but findind hard to get an alternative for this. I would like to make payments by with the phone’s NFC as I tend to avoid a physical wallet.
Google Wallet - Google = Wallet
Woah, woah, woah. Slow down there fella, you’re going to fast for me. Can you explain it again?
Let’s back up. Have you ever seen the prototype cell phones that were a bunch of thin sheets of tree pulp, glued together, with a stylus based interface? The wal-let is a similar prototype tech
We truly live in the future.
You can always just put your card inside your phone case.
I do not use google wallet / samsung pay / apple pay / whatever…i carry a physical card, which is far less obtrusive than a phone…dont need a big chunk of leather around it
Never used google-wallet.
I see many people using their banking app to either pay through NFC or to scan a QR code for an instant transfert. So not sure of the point of google-wallet.
But I am still one of the old one to carry a wallet/card with me
I don’t use my phone for NFC payments, but my bank has an app that can handle nfc payments. You could check to see if your bank has something similair.
I pay in cash.
There are few things I like about the over digitisation of our lives but I fucking hated cash. It might by my ADHD talking but I’ve lost so much cash over the years.

Garmin watch with wireless pay. I use the venue sq but many in the Garmin line support wireless payment.
Yup thats my solution too. Was never really someone who payed with my phone before, i just carry a wallet. But having my credit card on my watch has saved me like 2-3 times in six months
I don’t even know what Google Wallet is.
I’ve never used anything like that and don’t feel like I’ve missed anything. I do have a contactless credit card. It works out about the same way, I think.
Wear your card in your sleeve like a magician
Well there is Samsung Pay…
Maybe you could get a phone case with a slot to store a credit card?
Apple wallet
Some Garmin watches have an NFC cc payment capability. Do you have any good guides you’ve followed for the de-googling?
Not following any specific guide , doing bit by bit as I get the info. Installed calyx (my device doesnt have compatibility with graphene sadly) , seeing what relies on google services, and trying to find alternatives
