I contacted the Google Wallet team and received a canned message:
Thanks for your email. I apologize currently your device is not eligible for Google Wallet Application. We?re continually working to expand Google Wallet to more devices, carriers and locations.
The Google Wallet mobile app requires:
- an NFC-enabled Android phone (See
Eligible Devices - Wallet Help for a list of NFC-enabled phones)
- a Secure Element chip
- a minimum operating system requirement of Gingerbread Android 2.3.7
If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.
Sincerely,
Alicia
The Google Wallet Team
