    Has anyone been able to use their three credit for subscribing to google music family.

    I currently subscribe to an individual google play music account using my three credit.
    Looked to up dating it to the family plan, but its looking for my credit card details for payments,
    Cant see an option for it to be paid with 3 credit like my current individual plan

    I considered it, but you're honestly just better off paying approx €2.50/month for YouTube family premium via India with a VPN. I know you're not using your credit, but for about €30/year your whole family has access to ad-free YouTube, Google Play Music and YouTube Music.

    I looked into trying to do that, but although it looks easy enough to do. I just can't get me head around this VPN stuff and if it will cause me problems with my current set up

    I'm currently paying for Google play music family subscription with VF credit. Not exactly what was asked, but should probably be the same on principle between three and VF. O have seen somebody say before that there is a monthly limit that you can pay in credit. Do you have other active subs or purchases being paid from the credit already?

    Cheers for the reply. I've no other subscriptions on the three credit, but did make a couple of book purchases over past couple of weeks, so maybe that could be it.
    Current individual Google music subscription is due for renewal end of month. What I might try is canceling that subscription then and try to set up the family plan and see if the option to use three credit comes up

    Bumping this thread as there may be people who need it - myself included - with the mass move to GoMo in the last 24 hour.

    EDIT: ah, didn't realise it was only replied to in the last 7 hours but this'll serve as a reminder if nothing else.

    Question for those who are using the ParkingTag app, can I preload a rake of credit from my Vodafone / Three credit into the account or do I use it on a pay-by-park basis?

    Been happily using carrier billing for years with Vodafone. It stopped working on my Google One subscription yesterday.

    Maybe it's a coincidence but I wonder did Vodafone put the breaks on carrier billing with the mass exodus to GoMo and people spending their built up funds?

    Is carrier billing disabled for anyone else on Vodafone?

    IOU no longer working for me, got onto VF support and they blamed their new system and said it will be back at some unspecified point in the future. I suspect it won't be back in which case I'll be off to GoMo.
