Softcard

[arbyjr]

I think they are just doing this for us Icon users in hopes that we will forget about the wait for denim. Because right now, I'm not that concerned about not having Cyan/Denim firmware...

Doesn't Softcare require WP 8.1 to work? And I doubt VZW would release it for a device with a beta on it, perhaps Denim is close maybe for us?

I'm using it on an Icon with DP so it obviously doesn't need Denim.

 

[Martog]

Oh I'm using it on DP as well, but the M8 was the first to get it on VZW as it had 8.1 pre-loaded, then the 928 and 822 after they got Denim. It's just surprising and all since the carrier pushes the app out and VZW was only supporting phones that had the official 8.1 release, not the PFD. 8.1 is a requirement for Softcard so makes me wonder why VZW was so generous to give us Icon PFD users access to Softcard unless the Denim release is quite soon.

Same here. Running WP8.1 DP and I used it today at Kid's Footlocker flawlessly.

It's possible I suppose. Has anybody NOT running WP8.1 DP able to get it to work.

I'm surprised version bothered doing this. Heck, I didn't think it would even happen after we got Denim.

What's even more surprising is that I didn't read this on the front page of windowscentral. Or maybe I just missed it.

Once again, PFD is not beta. The OS version is the release version. The firmware/OS combination is currently unsupported, but the OS is really the release version of 8.1.

Happily reporting that Verizon's Softcard works on the Icon. 8.1, of course.

 

[anon(7901790)]

It's interesting, because I had to side load the app. I went to windowsphone.com and it says this app is not available for my phone. I downloaded it and installed it from local with the store app on my phone. I wonder if Verizon accidentally released it a leeetle too early. Of course the cats out of the bag and I doubt they could put it back in.

And 8.1 is not a carrier sanctioned released on the Icon either. VZW was only releasing Softcard for devices that had 8.1 either already loaded (M8) or via the Lumia Update (Firmware/OS) not the PFD. I really doubt VZW or AT&T support devices running PFD.

Which is what I said. The firmware/OS combination is unsupported. My point was that the OS version provided by PfD is not beta, as you originally stated.

Verizon is trying to tell me that my Icon should already have a secure SIM. Got it last July. Thoughts?

 

[hawwie_4]

It comes with a secure SIM card straight out of the box

 

[ashram]

and I have to tie up money on a prepaid card.

no you don't, you can set it up to take money from a funding source, kinda how PayPal works, so no leftover money sitting in your serve account. been using it like this for a bit now.

I got my Icon right it was released and never had to swap sim, the Icon was supposed to be the launch phone for Softcard for WP on VZW, hence why it had the sim included.

They are correct.

 

[David Feifer]

hmm, just tried to get this and it is telling me that it is NOT available for my phone and no option to download. Wonder if the release for the icon was accidental and they have since corrected it.

Lumia Icon with dp installed.

 

[grafixguy#AC]

You need to download using the Store app on the phone. It won't be available on the website.

 

[David Feifer]

thanks, was hoping to push the update since i left my phone in the car. Will have to try it later.
