    Anything new at all? Miss being able to use it on Xbox. They have mobile billing directly on Xbox in loads of countries, don’t know what the hold up is here.

    who do we complain to in xbox to get this sorted?

    It's not Xbox. It's three/vodafone. They seem to deactivate it for everything it's useful for. Probably by charging an extortion amount from the companies using it.

    Bit of a niche thing to be interested in though, to be fair.

    Cloud storage is good usage

    I have E5 over from the Vodafone deal and use it for Pcloud(500Gb) and have it syncing personal videos and pictures from desktop to the cloud. Any changes on PC folders it syncs them to the cloud so I don't need to remember to do anything

    Can also backup pictures and videos from phone

    Is this the full list available?
    https://community.three.ie/t5/Products-Services/Pay-by-Mobile/ta-p/641912

    Looks like there is some onstreet parking available that might be handy for some.
    Not too sure what Boku is but it looks like it is supported and there could be any number of vendors using Boku to accept payments?

    Boku hasn't been supported for almost a year now.

    I already got on to Xbox support live chat, was pretty much useless, he told me it was coming soon. Probably just saying that to get rid of me.

    I just don’t understand why 3 in the UK allow carrier billing directly on Xbox store, and not here.

    I was starting my free trial of YouTube Premium in the Android app and despite my 3 credit being set up as a payment method it prompted me for card details. I assume I'm not missing something and Google don't let you pay for one of their own services with credit?

I've been wondering if it's possible, but didn't see any options. I tweeted to the Sunday Business Post asking if I could subscribe to them that way /suggesting they think about it, but no reply. Also interested in a non-Irish paper or two.

It never occured to me to pay for a VPN with the 3 credit, just signed up to NordVPN there, channel 4 and BBC iPlayer working fine now, have to top it up once a month because 3 wont let you pay for a year but ah well.

Thanks. I am using Unlimited VPN, via 3 credit. I didn't know that Nord offered the same option.
