    Turns out G2A are scummy and try and lock you into a subscription service.
    You are unable to cancel the G2A Shield subscription at the moment because of the G2A Shield 30 day free trial you have activated. The subscription can only be deactivated two days before the end of the 30 day free trial period.

    F'ck em.

    If anyone has an alternative to G2A for Steam keys that'd be awesome.

    I'm on Three and I can buy anything I want on the Play Store except hardware. I've bought apps, rented movies, paid for subscription services (e.g. Google Music, YouTube Red, Evernote...).

    Was just going to start a thread like this and then saw this one.

    Like someone said above anthing that's not hardware can be paid for with credit on the Play Store. I rented The Nice Guys last night and cast it to my Chromecast. Was only €1.25 or something as they have 75% off at the moment on your first rental. Also paid for a couple of premium apps.

    I also pay my subscription to AVG mobile through phone credit and my subscription to Lastpass.

    You can pay for onstreet parking in most places now by texting a number.

    Still looking for anything else though :confused:

    If you're with three just "add a payment option" when checking out. If you arent, you cant.

    I meant on your 3 account, you posted a picture showing your top ups and how much is remaining from the top up, I'd like to see my own. Please let me know where you found that. Thanks.

    Download the My3 app. It tells you all your credits and when they expire etc.

    Its really obvious once you login, so I have to assume somethings different for you:
    A) If you're on mobile use Chrome and select "Request Desktop Version" in settings
    B) If you're an o2 Customer migrated to three and still on an o2 plan all bets are off.

    Is it just three that you can buy Deezer with credit and Vodafone for Spotify?

    Might switch to another network but the ability to subscribe to a streaming service for free(kinda) is appealing.

    Random Update: World of Tanks (Wargaming) have changed their mobile topup system. You now call Daopay.

    Its 35% more expensive than regular payment methods as you call a 1590 number and they add a €2 fee.

    Still better than wasting it or giving it to scummers like G2A.

    If anyone has been looking to get PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds on PC you'll be glad to know that you that you can get it from their website and pay with phone credit. it seems you have to have an 087 number to use the service though. I know that i'm with three but have an 087 number and it works fine for me, my sister is 086 and the service wouldn't work.

    Also it seems that G2A have removed the option to pay by phone.

    Im an 086 number from the early days of mobiles and Im with 3, I just paid for it there no problem, installing on Steam now.

    Thanks a million for that! Ive heard good things about this game. Please post if you ever hear anything else like that. It would be great if there was a list of games hat could be bought with credit somewhere...

    There's still no hope for Steam Keys or gift cards no?

    Or even Ninty ones?

    Might starting selling Xbox/Sony ones on eBay/Adverts and just out the money aside for bills.
