NFC Payments - Info Thread - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I thought i would make post detailing all the possible ways to use our xperia nfc phones for payment and if we can get Google Wallet to work
Method A) UK- In the UK the Orange quick tap app has been released for the galaxy s3, this may be expanded to other NFC phones soon
(dont know about anyother countries but if anyone knows then ill add the info
Method B) Google Wallet
So this is what i know so far i think this is all correct
There is a secure element in our phones
The wallet app does not appear in the app drawer (not sure why exactly) I tried defrosting it however it does not appear in titanium backup
A older version of the app does appear AND launches however only when NFC is turned off when it is turned on it crashes
Reasons for the app not working could possibly be because the nfc libs are not all there or are modified. This was a problem for other phones but is fixable by replacing the libs *i think*
I do not know how the app behaves under cm9 or cm10 or under Kangs jellybean port because my bootloader is not unlocked so could anyone try ?[/SIZE][/SIZE]

I managed to get hold of the quick tap wallet apk, it installs perfectly on my Xperia S, however when you launch it, it brings a message asking for a NFC sim, which orange won't provide as yet

In Singapore, you need to change to nfc SIM first. Services provided are dependant on the Teleco. 1 of them only have ezlink function(a card for trains, bus etc), while another teleco provide master card service.

Yeah I've been trying for the last 2 days to get GWallet working with no success. All the modded versions don't install and the real version installs fine but errors with "This device is not supported"
Have put the question up on Modaco where Paul made the modded version but have yet to receive a response.
Started a thread here in the apps section but just got silly comments back unfortunately.
Would love to get it working

Bootloader ???
Does anyone have an unlockable bootloader and are able to try the app on cm9 or cm10 ?

---

since beginning of November in Poland (t-mobile and orange) has started nfc payments. xperia s is supported.
i'll write more when i'll test it

---

I've just got a Barclaycard RFID chip stuck on the back of my Xperia S

---

it works! and it works perfectly!
i can choose between different cards and banks, I can set default card and pay without unlocking my phone...
in local shops, when walking or riding a bike I dont have to remember and take care of my wallet...
soon it should be an ability to buy a ticket to the cinema, theatre, match etc thr the phone and then just use nfc to enter that places...
i hope NFC will expand

How have they implemented it? Do you need a special SIM for it or using the stock NFC chips on the Xperia?

one have to switches micro sim card to nfc micro sim (free for me), then one receives an app MyWallet where you can set bank's cards, default card, preferences, security. and that's all. if you set default card you can pay when the phone is locked or even turned off (battery can't be empty)...
components:
1) SIM NFC;
2) MyWallet app;
3) NFC controller;
4) Wallet management server
