    My job is to identify the solution, but perhaps some industrious type wants to take on the role.

    RossieMan seems up to the task :)

    quickest way is probably for mod to just delete all of the crap posts

    Has anyone here gone ahead and published an app to the Play Store with a €20 IAP? I'm considering it here, if I switch to 3 on my phone I'd then be topping up the phone and WiFi €20 a month each. €40 minus Google's cut is €28 a month that I'm getting back.

    If I subscribe to YouTube premium via three billing on android, will it work on any platform I.e. TV iPhone iPad? Basically anywhere I'm logged in to YouTube?

    Anyone know why it's €12 on android but €16 on iOS?

    Yes, it's linked to your YouTube account. It works on pc, ps4, firestick for me.

    And Google also know that iOS users have no issues overpaying for products and services.

    Thinking of signing up for Office 365. €10 a month for up to 6 people. It's currently €69.30 to buy it outright but the credit seems like wasted money if I don't spend it.

    Should I pay up front and just enter premium competitions with my credit or pay for Office? :confused:

    what do you mean by premium competitions?

    Sorry, text message competitions like on RTÉ. usually €2 to enter. Usually spend a few quid on them if I've had credit building up for a few months.

    Can't set up the Office 365 through Three billing. telling me that option is not eligible. Looked at other apps and I can buy them.

    You have to sign up via the OneDrive app

    I pay €7 per month and it includes the Office 365 sub + 1TB OneDrive

    I downloaded the app and the subscription initialised but it told me that, although the first month is free the authorisation didn't happen. That was with my Three payment. It won't let me select now and only gives credit card as an option.

    Is this Three or Vodafone?

    Sounds like an issue with Google Play payment methods ... open Play Store and select "Payment methods" from the menu and under payment settings (I believe) is the area you select to be billed by the carrier.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,510 ✭✭✭Wheety


    It's Three.

    Mobile billing is definitely set up as it comes up for other apps.

    But when I go to pay for OneDrive, I'm not getting that option.

    Not sure how I had it selected initially, set as default maybe? But it had an error and was marked as ineligible for this subscription. Then I tried to update the payment method and that's where I am now.

    I read somewhere that Netflix had stopped mobile billing so maybe Microsoft have too? I'm sure Google take a cut.

    No as I just renewed my subscription via Three billing yesterday for another month. €7 deducted from my credit.

    The only payment option I have is Three, I never added any other payment methods so perhaps you need to delete the other options?

    I don't recall if there was anything in particular I had to do to select 3 as the payment for the sub. I believe it worked just fine as is.

    Yup, don't need to do anything special. Just select 3 as payment method and away you go. Have been paying for office 365 for the last year or so with my credit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,510 ✭✭✭Wheety


    The Netflix update was posted on this site somewhere, I'll have a look later.

    But they said it's only for new subscriptions, and if you're currently using carrier billing, it would continue until you cancelled.

    I'll try deleting my cards later but can't imagine it'll make a difference. As I said option shows on other apps.

    sometimes you have to remove the three payment method and re-add it.

    this has worked for me in the past when I've had issues.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 Vision123456


    I sure this has been asked and answered previously but can you pay for Netflix with 3 credit

    Nope. Netflix stopped it a while ago.

    Is there an app with in-app purchases? That's your best bet.
