The main reason you cant use call credit to pay for apps is actually that Pay As You Go doesnt really exist in the US.

These products are designed primarily for the US market, and then just make there way overseas.

Yep, it's available for Windows Phone 7 on a very limited basis. Only a small handful of carriers worldwide seem to have implemented it.

There's supposed to be some improvements to it in Windows Phone 8, I'm no sure exactly what, but it's supposedly now easier or more appealing to carriers to implement, but I don't know how widespread it has become.

I'd imagine that the bottom line for carriers is that it's a lot of potential hassle, they'd potentially have to support the transactions, handle refunds, guard against fraud, possibly face a ton of regulation and legislation, and all for what is probably a very tiny cut of any sales.

Guys, how much do you reckon my LG Optimus 7.5 phone would sell for.

It is unlocked and has been in a case, so practically scratch free.

€30-40 maybe. You can get equally as good Nokias new for €80 now.
