hazza87: Is this going to be firmware dependant or hardware dependent? Will this work ok on a supported phone ie Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that was parallel imported and hence running foreign firmware?
ZombieJohn:Cralfe: Somewhat disappointed with the narrow range of supported devices and OS versions to be honest, definitely hope they can cover more ground over the next few weeks/months.
(Unreasonably hoping for HCE since I'm on a nexus 5)
I am working on the assumption that the Nexus devices will be supported at some point, as I picked up my Nexus 5 from 2 degrees 1.5 years ago. If not, im not too concerned as the S6 has got enough of my attention to warrant an upgrade.
The other problem I have is that I currently bank with Kiwibank. Over the last couple of months, while waiting for this solution, I have seriously considered moving banks (technology is a big motivator for me).
I look forward to the solution being tested further and the kinks ironed out.

richms: Ffff, for spark I have to go to a store ages away to swap sims anyway.

I would make an assumption that it is hardware dependent. I reckon you would be able to get away with it in your situation. Keep us posted if it works! (BTW I think it is free to do the sim swap so worth trying it out).

I just took a 5 minute break and walked down to my closest participating Spark store (Willis St, WLG) but apparently they didn't get the SIMs in today. Curse these logistics, getting in the way of my early adoptability.
richms: Ffff, for spark I have to go to a store ages away to swap sims anyway. nearest vodafone store near here couldnt seem to answer their phones. Go figure.
hazza87: Well i have a SM-9005 (so same model number as sold here) however it is never going to have the latest local firmware as it is a 16GB model and cannot run the 2degrees firmware.
Is it a minimum firmware requirement or an exact firmware match? I am running the Stock unrooted Lollipop firmware on my device since this is available for everywhere else in the world except here but the compatibility list states 4.4.2
