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.

    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 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

    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’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.

    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

      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.

      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
