I agree. The network is the only reason I stay. I travel a lot for work, and unfortunately, I hate to say it... It really can't be beat. Just so you know though, you won't be able to use Google wallet on AT&T either. They are just as bad in my opinion as verizon

Google Wallet Support emailed me back:
Hi Charles,
I understand that you would like to use Google Wallet on your Motorola Moto X on Verizon. Unfortunately, Verizon has chosen not to support Google Wallet at this time. Google is in active conversations with all carriers and hopes to make Google Wallet available on more devices, and across more carriers soon.
In some cases, Tap and Pay is working for Verizon devices but in general, Verizon is still blocking that feature of the Google Wallet mobile app.
Some suggestions that I can provide you that might make the Tap and pay feature work:
Be sure that the Mobile App is not side-loaded. Be sure to download the latest version of the app from Google Play.
The device must not be rooted.
Try uninstalling the Wallet App and reinstall it again. Once installed, shut down your device and turn it back on after 10 seconds.
These steps can be done. But, there is no guarantee that the Tap and Pay will work afterwards.
We would love for you to have this feature on you device, but again it is on the part of your carrier which is stopping us in doing so.
If you have any more questions, please reply to this email. I'm happy to help!
Thanks!
