I upgraded to the Nokia 1520 on AT&T after finding out that my Windows Phone Lumia 920 I received at the Microsoft Build Conference would not work due to being unlocked.
I went to AT&T to upgrade my SIM card and that went very smooth. I think it must take some time or I needed to turn off WiFi to actually get the network to realize that I had a new SecureSim as the first time I went to the MS app store the SoftCard app wasn’t there and when I did a Cortona search for the app it loaded and said that my phone wasn’t supported. I left the area and tried again and it worked fine…Phew!
During the installation you choose a PIN code and then you can create a soft card account and create an American Express Serve account to use with the card.
After using the card I was able to log into the SoftCard web site and see my transactions and noticed that SoftCard gave me a $1 back on each of my purchases so far so that is pretty neat!
Other stores like ToyR’Us have promotions inside the app that give you specials like $5 off when using the card. That will come handy this Black Friday!
I have used the card at my Local MC Donald’s and Subway. There are supposedly some other coke machines in the area that also have NFC ready.
So far so good, if SoftCard continues to give money back why wouldn’t you want to use it?
