    I see it there,actually my pet peeve on that is that the charge per month is 11 dollars but 15e

    The other one suggested above is 7e which seems a good deal

    Paying with credit is often a little more (I think Google charge 30% and it's passed on). PIA for example is 6.95 US but 7.52 euro when paid for via Google Play

    Can you still pay for Deezer with 3 credit? I don't have the option to use mobile billing.

    I switched to this plan about a month ago.


    The internet speeds are incredible and it wipes the floor with the rest of them.


    I am just back from Alicante, Spain and had a solid 4g signal over there the whole time. I was getting an overage 50Mbps over there.


    This is an exception deal and well worth the "hassle" as some people have called it

    Everytime I go to Galway its basically not usable.Might get a workable connection but then drops and comes back.
    Im in the sticks and to be fair I cant fault it.But for 20 a month for 28 days what do ya expect.I just deal with it.

    Same with HayU, the reality streaming app

    Could you explain how? I've been looking for ages and can't see.

    Have you tried to go through your subscriptions in the play store?

    This is what comes up when I try to subscribe through the app (I cancelled my subscription because I watched everything but i definitely had it going for a few months through credit)

    I use my 20 euro a month 9.99 deezer and 4.99 for shudder (horror streaming site - it works out really well).

    Did not know you could pay for Dropbox on it. Might go back to it. Although Google kinda looks after everything now

    Paid for my yearly LastPass premium subscription there the other day, very useful app and great to use up excess credit

    €6.99 a month sub to Eleven sports works off credit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,292 ✭✭✭0lddog


    If Boards could figure out how to support direct carrier billing, I'd be happy to send them some spare credit.

    Anyone else be prepared to do likewise ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,002 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Anyone know if Shudder subscription can be paid for using credit?

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dramafever.shudder&hl=en_IE


    It says it offers in-app purchases so does that automatically mean yes it can be paid for via credit?

    I use it for Shudder yes no bother at all 4.99 a month...though what they have is fairly limited and niche (I do use a VPN though to get the US version it is a LOT better content wise than UK/Ireland one).

    If anyone has 3Plus, they are offering €5 off any Google Play purchase atm, just in case anyone doesn't have enough credit to spend already

    Thanks, was in my 3plus app, just had to buy something using 3 billing. Rented a film, looked like it normally does, but only actually paid 1 cent (it was 4.99, so in theory I shouldn't have paid anything but still a great deal).

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    If I'm paying for KineMaster for a year and paying for the full year will it take a 5er off it automatically?

    Or is it just for app purchase through play store

    Works for apps and in app purchases, so yes, the five euro will be taken off the year

    My €2 for my Google Drive 100gb went out overnight, followed by a message from 3Plus saying I had used the bonus credit. Better than nothing, I guess.


  • Registered Users Posts: 119 ✭✭chrismcc409


    If you like a bit of hill walking, view ranger is a fantastic app and you can use the credit to purchase premium maps. The osi 50,000 to 1 are good but the east west mapping 30,000 to 1 are excellent unfortunately not country wide but over all the Wicklow/Dublin mountains plus a few other areas. Nephin and blackstairs are the ones I can think of off-hand.

    If anyone is spending money on Three at the moment, you may notice €5 is taken off the price when you are actually charged buying something from Google Play.

    I thought it was a mistake as I was buying something for €7 but got charged €2, but it turns out it's a 3Plus promo (you have to be registered for 3Plus before 29th Oct)

    Mine was wasted on a €2 purchase, don't think they keep the €3 over.

    On a totally related topic, Bleach by Nirvana Deluxe edition is apparently only €1.29?

    Christmas FM starting the end of this month the 26th ish around I think and all proceeds will be going to Temple Street, each text to the station will be €2 and you usually get a request played out over the radio for that.

    I bought the 100gb extra google photos/drive storage today, and it cost 0.01c for the first month, some 3plus promotion. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,116 ✭✭✭Trent Houseboat


    I tried to buy an annual subscription for 10% Happier mindfulness app but it says the total is greater than the transaction limit set by my carrier.

    Anyone know that the limit is? There doesn't seem to be a monthly option.

    I'm nearly sure that limit is 30 euro

    Worked great thanks, bought an ebook. Any idea if it works more than once? I'm guessing not but only way to find out is buying something else

    does subbing to the Irish one give you access to the US version, or do you need to have signed up to the US one via VPN first?

    i.e. can I sub today to the Irish one and try it out, then later on sort out a VPN ?

    If you have irish one you have irish one, content is not great, but yes at a later date you can use a VPN to access non Irish version if you like.
