Will Sprint eventually adopt Softcard (formally Isis Wallet) instead of just Google Wallet?

Looks like Softcard became Android Pay, and Sprint is not a partner.

 

It was a curious thing in the announcement yesterday.  Especially since Sprint was in on google wallet.

For once I might agree with Fabian over on FierceWireless. He stated that since Sprint was an original partner of Google Wallet and the other three carriers were just carry-overs from Softcard (ISIS) then it would be safe to say that all 4 carriers are on board.

 

My guess is the current Google Wallet app will get updated to Android Pay and then they will launch a new standalone Google Wallet app that will let you transfer money and such between people. Or they could launch Android Pay as a new app and then strip Google Wallet of its features and turn it into a money transferring app.

Android Pay...will also play a big role in Android M....As for carriers it'll be supported on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

 

from engadget...why won't Sprint play?

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
