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 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.
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.
Well there is Samsung Pay...
Maybe you could get a phone case with a slot to store a credit card?
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 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
Some Garmin watches have an NFC cc payment capability. Do you have any good guides youโve 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
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
Wear your card in your sleeve like a magician
Or skin implant?
PayPal has this functionally though you have to carry a balance in your account to use it.
There are other alternatives like Apple Pay and Samsung pay, heck even your bank app might have similar features in place. You could start looking there. Alternatively, you could just use a credit card and tape it to the back of your phone?
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.
I don't even know what Google Wallet is.
