    Old school essays etc.

    Actually, they seem not to be taking any new self published authors on at the moment but maybe if you have your own 'Smelly Cat' or something sitting around a hard drive.

    I think I'll make an app like this. Is there serious demand yeah? Could split the money (after the cut that Google takes) somehow.

    Don't think that will count in this instance. You need to use your Three credit to make the call to ensure it doesn't expire.

    Sending a text has the same effect and costs a lot less than 50c.

    In any case, I've a feeling that any chargeable use counts, including Google Play purchases. It certainly does with my ex-O2 PAYG account anyway.

    Following on from that idea.......

    So I could publish an app that costs say 10 euro, Google takes their cut and then could pass on a percentage to someone's PayPal account or even their bank account? Do all networks allow purchases like this using credit?

    No. Only Vodafone and three.

    You'll need to make a proper app or it'll just be removed from the play store.

    There's loads of terrible terrible apps on the play store. I've published apps before. Should be doable.

    Refunds could be an issue though. There would have to be some sort of delay before people get paid.

    They'll just do away with keeping credit if you start dicking around.

    To be honest I'm not sure Google would even allow it. They could think it's money laundering or something. Unless you hide the fact that you are returning some money back.

    a simple app that provides access to a webcam feed ; 20 euro for '24 hours access pass code' to see the (birds, city views , garden shed ) feed.
    Pass code is a serial number ; you enter 2 codes on a webpage , along with a email address , and you get a topup serial number by email within 24hrs
    I have no coding skills or databases knowledge, but i rekon is doable ( probably not profitable under 20 sells per day , and you don't get rich from this )

    The other option is to record my shower audio superhits and sell it . [ this carries a risk of becoming famous overnight , and not being able to walk on the streets without heavy make up and fake botoxed lips ]

    For the single lads and lasses, I just noticed you can get Tinder plus from your credit (at least on Vodafone anyway)

    How do I pay for things using my credit? There's an app that is 3 quid a year on the play store but when I go to buy it I don't see any option to pay with credit.

    It has been so long, but i think there was talk before that by buying(possibly just going to the payment screen) one app on the 3 Network (not WiFi) it registers 3 as a payment option

    You don't need the app, just send the following text to 53311

    PARK [area] [minutes] [car reg] M

    Where area is on the bottom of the parking signs. Central Dublin is Red or Yellow etc

    I think you can now add it in Google Pay and use it to pay for apps/Google Play stuff.

    when did Patreon start accepting phone credit?

    I don't think it does, even in the US.

    Apologies if I missed it, but is there any way for an iPhone user to spend excess credit with Three on anything?

    Thanks

    You have to put your SIM into a proper phone for it to work.

    That webpage has been around for a good while, as you can see by the apps they're promoting on it. I've stumbled across it a few times. Are they promoting it on the main 3 home page?
