Softcard

Has anyone gotten the enhanced sim and Softcard app to work on a 1020? Thanks

Are you using AT&T?
Softcard for Windows Phone only works with AT&T right now, Verizon and T-Mobile coming soon | Windows Central

I got the enhanced Sim card from At&t on my Nokia 1020, loaded my Amex card with no hassle, loading chase card it's a bit of an issue as it keeps giving error I hope they will fix them soon. They need to have more participating CC and loyalty cards...

I got the secure SIM with no problems. I was going to use my MasterCard debit card but apparently I have to connect it through American Express Serve, which is a slight annoyance. Then I thought, why not get a credit card? I currently don't have any but if my goal is "secure" payments then that's a better idea than linking my debit card.

Did they charge u for the enhanced card? I am wondering if they gave me wrong one and that is why was a freebie....

Got my secure SIM through AT&T, free of charge and no questions asked.

I got a new one, now working seamlessly

Can you actually tap and pay with it? So far I've only seen 1 confirmed report of tap and pay actually working in real life.

Not working on my AT&T Lumia 1020. Gets stuck at "Your Softcard account is reloading" and then I get an error email ~45 minutes later.

Get the Serve card. You can drop cash into the account at the cash register at any 7-11, Wal-Mart, etc. It's instantaneous and secure since there's no link to your bank.

Yes I have used and it works instantly and flawlessly

I guess that is one way to go. That way, I can avoid the hassle associated with credit cards and banks. It's just a slight annoyance to physically have to go to a restore and refill the card.

For those in USA:
IF u go to a Subway, some of them dont have the standard tap to pay terminal, but have a small LCD screen that sits flatly on the counter next to the register. The employees sometimes dont that you can tap that screen, after they press the pay button. it works flawlessly and the same as the terminal but its not obvious to the sandwich artist

I was at the AT&T store last night. They ran out of secure SIMs. The rep told me more should be available next Wednesday.

Try calling up another store if there's another close by.

Update: It's been a few weeks now, and it has worked flawlessly at all possible locations. I love it

Looks like I'll have to head to an AT&T store too. I have a ticket open with Softcard, but there's been no response on their end. Maybe somehow it is the SIM that's the problem.

Good luck. Again it works perfectly for me everywhere I have tried. It's also fun explaining to onlookers with iPhones that this is a Windows phone - ha!

I'm all ready to go; just haven't been anywhere that accepts it yet. The Softcard site has a pretty limited list of participating retailers. I'm betting there are others, like Whole Foods, where it might work.
