Nice! I might swap my monthly Shudder for €4.99 for Prime Video for €5.99 as, while Shudder is great, Prime Video would have far more horror

Just on the Prime Video thing... does signing up for this give you Prime on Amazon UK too (free delivery etc) ?

Cheers to the people letting us know we can now pay for Disney+. Very handy to have.. especially considering my credit just goes to waste as I always forget to top up again until my internet stops working (after they charged me a ridiculous fee for a few megabytes) so it feels like I'm getting Disney+ for free.

Anyone have any good places to use 3 credit? I know only of epicgames, youtube and google play store.. any other places /websites we could buy stuff with credit?

Look at my posts on the previous page regarding Dundle

Seconding Dundle here. I got it to work. It's expensive, but better than the credit going to waste.

Kinda yeah, I'm not sure it was ever exactly that long for me. On one of the calls, it rang me back and I had to answer it for another few mins. Probably due to the amount I was trying to process.

I have a 3 sim in a 4g router, is it possible to use the credit on that sim without taking sim out of the router?

No i don't think so. I'm in the same position and can't

Depends what you want to spend it on....SMS can be sent if the router interface has a texting option...although it would probably be just as easy to use webtext in my3.

Calls can be made if the router has a working phone port with a standard landline handset plugged in.

I want to use it on stuff available on the play store, like Disney+ etc.

I used to have the setup and I setup the payment in my phone on the play store (android) and I was able to keep using it even when I put it back in the router

Just a heads up on the dundle Amazon vouchers.

I've used dundle twice now for Amazon vouchers the first time for Amazon Germany for two €15 vouchers, and recently for Amazon UK for a £20 voucher.

It says it charges 171 percent of the voucher cost making the call but it is way more than this.

I am on the three Ireland network and for the €30 Germany voucher it ended up costing around €69 worth of credit.

For the £20 UK Amazon voucher costing me closer to €44 of credit.

While I'm happy that I got something out of my credit it is way overpriced for what it is, and I honestly don't think I'd use it again I'd rather give my money to one of the charity text numbers on likecharity.

Also a heads up for the UK Amazon vouchers they ask you to submit an id to prove who you are are to me this feels sketchy as f***. Tried using my student ID but wouldn't accept it and in the end had to scan my drivers licence which I'm honestly not happy about otherwise I would have lost the money I put into the phone calls.

Reason why I went ahead and did scan it was the trustpilot reviews for dundle and for the company that handles the ID verification but I don't think I do it again or recommend anyone else does as it's just not worth the long phone calls and the overpriced vouchers in the end.

BTW, you can pay for a Discovery+ subscription (€5.99 at the moment) using phone credit on Three through Google play store.

Only annoying problem is that I can't get the discovery plus app on any smart TV in Ireland at the moment so have to cast it from my phone.

You can probably watch it via a Firestick or similar?

Disney+ has National Geographic so that can scratch that itch, as well as all the Star content, might be worth considering as well

I got around this & I can't remember how. I think they sent a text to my phone. Yes it is expensive but better than nothing

Hi guys. I have enabled the 3 billing on Google Play on my phone just now. I have €40 worth of unused mobile broadband credit left on one number.

Is that credit allowed to be spent on Google Play? TIA.

I've used my Vodafone credit on application with monthly subscriptions, but this week when payment has been due, it has failed and Vodafone is showing as unavailable?

Any idea how to fix? Or is it onto Vodafone to see if they know?

Thanks W

I had this problem before, where I didn't have enough credit

Solution is to remove Vodafone billing as a payment option and then re enable it

No app needed.

You buy something and use carrier billing to pay for it.

You might need to go into your Google account from your phone as set carrier billing up as a payment method, but carrier billing on Vodafone can be hit and miss - sometimes it just isn't available as an option for a short period.
