Nice
how? can you use it to gift subs?

I used the Twitch android app.

For bits click on a bits icon in someones chat and it'll give you option to buy bits. It wont buy them for that channel btw.

And click subscribe to sub. The option for mobile payment should be there.

Dunno about gift subs though.

Thinking of moving to GoMo and have over €100 on my account. I'd nearly consider knocking together an android app with in-app purchases and use carrier billing, just to get some of of this back.

I am switching my daughter's phone over to GoMo from 3. I have 150 euro credit built up and have recently taken out a family subscription on YT premium at 18/month paid for by the credit on her number.

If I simply give her the new SIM card and new GoMo number and stop using the 3 number, have the 3 SIM in a safe place. Will the credit last 8 months ( I can make a call after 6 months with it to keep it alive) or will it expire at some point ?

If you log in to your 3 account online, you'll see when the credit will expire.

Mine states cash credits won't expire but there is an asterisk, probably you've to keep the sim active by occasionally use.

Happy_Harry

I will try that- the phone app doesn't tell me - thanks

Edit- I checked and says it doesn't expire as long as you make a call every 6 months.. Let's hope for the best so

Ten Pin

Three credit expires after 180 days.

https://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057530580/1

Unless a top up has been saved beyond 6 months by making a chargeable call, then...
Top up today will expire in 6 months
Top up applied 6 months ago (or longer) has expired.
Top up applied 5 months ago will expire in 1 month.
Top up applied 4 months ago will expire in 2 months.
...and so on.

To save an active top up, make a call before 6 months, but that only saves the currently active top up. If there is still credit available within the top up that has been saved beyond 6 months, the next available top up that is inactive will expire after it has reached 6 months.

FYI - you can sign up for YT premium in India for 189 rupees which comes out at €2.41 for me last time round. So once the credit runs out you could look at that... https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057939654

I know.. I actually did sign up in India , but I felt a bit uncomfortable with this, so signed up with a throw away gmail address.
Then found I couldn't invite my family members as they are already part of my existing"family", and thought feck it, I am not going to get everyone more email addresses just for this- and then explain time after time to them how they need to switch accounts for different apps. So I chickened out and cancelled that subscription and signed up for a "proper" subscription

Google is probably the only company I wouldn't like to get in trouble with, they know too much about me

And maybe, after 8 months when credit is gone, we have something better than YT premium

i got hit yesterday with a 57977 text scam. do an internet search of this scam if you want more info. 93euro of built of my credit gone in a few seconds of text messages. As i dont know how i signed up, suggest to others to use your credit or lose it. even give it to charity as better them than a shower of con artists.

Anyone know how i can buy one euros worth of credit so i can text 'stop' to this number. i dont want to top up by another 20 euro to have it disappear within seconds of the top up.

If you didn't sign up then contact them and demand a refund. There is a good chance they'll send you a cheque. Comreg website will give you customer service email address of which ever company it was.

I'm hoping Google Stadia will allow you to use credit to subscribe next month. Think it's 9.99 a month.

You can get those premium rate services blocked. You can also contact the company who charged you for a refund (personally I think it's sickening you have to do this, it's like asking someone who mugged you for your money back). It actually could be a good thing for you as they will likely give you the money back as a cheque or using PayPal so you'll convert that credit into cash. They're still a shower of scumbags though.

Thanks, but i expect i must have accidently clicked on a pop-up at some time. so they could argued that i legally agreed, rather than in common sense purposes id never agree to paying nearly 100 yoyos for a few text messages.

It doesn't matter. Get on to them. Same thing happened to me not long ago and I got my money back.

Its not even accidentally clicking. There are a few threads on here about them. My father got fleeced by them. He had signed up to 3 and within a few minutes he got messages saying he was subscribed to a service which he never agreed to. 3 and their billing company are in cahoots. But will deny it. There is a crossover of info and they fire off texts and fleece customers. As above, get onto the provider and contact Comreg and request a refund.

So how do you sign up for these yokes?

NinetyForNone

These the bastards that scammed me: portal.modogames.club.
They did offer a refund via paypal ,no sign of it yet after 10 working days -
I've contacted their buddies in comreg, who license these businesses.

If I rent a movie in play store or google play app using 3 credit, can I watch this on smart tv using same app and same log in details? Ive tried casting from phone but not working even though I've connected the two so I don't want to waste credit if it doesn't work

Should do I would say. I've rented though Play Store and then watched on my laptop on Chrome.

Similarly, I've paid on my phone then chromecasted before without issue
