    Vodafone will implement VAT reduction from 23% to 21% as a credit of 2% of balance and top up from 1st September.

    Best Ultimate VPN on 3 works. It's expensive at €10 a month. Works for iPlayer, and seems to still work after my sub ended : )

    In the case you just want a temporary one it's handy.

    So

    I subscribed to Quibi on the credit, so now I have Disney+, Quibli and an Anti virus taking my credit away

    Gotta say, Quibi has a lot of celebs doing random, short shows.. but.. I'm not sure it's all that good. If I spent 'real' money on it, I'd probably cancel my sub

    Hey all, you can use your credit to buy games on the epic game store. Just purchased Horizon Zero Dawn

    I logged in to their store via my Google account and Epic account, and both only have the option of credit card or PayPal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,766 ✭✭✭RossieMan


    Can confirm it works. Give me the option of 3pay. Same price as with credit card, no add-on charges which is brilliant.

    Pity it's the epic store!

    Why?!? :pac:

    I've gotten shedloads of free games from them and also bought Trover Saves the Universe... no problems anywhere.

    OK, so using Chrome on my phone and logging into my Google account and Epic account, i only have the option of Credit Card or Paypal.

    Tried logging into my Xbox account via Epic, and was given loads more payment options, including 3Pay :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,497 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Anyone know if you can purchase additional films from Disney Plus using credit? Haven't tried yet, but movies like Mulan are going to be chargeable as an example.

    Can you play the games on your xbox if you buy them or are they pc games?

    Brilliant, had been looking to spend my built up credit on something since deezer stopped working. Got a game for 49.99, thought it might be above the limit but apparently not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭Asus X540L


    Hey, that worked.

    Just bought Mortal Shell for 19.99 (There was a 10 euro voucher in my account)

    I doubt my PC will run it though.

    As mentioned any way you can buy Xbox/PS4/Switch games through Epic store?

    Yeah, runs like ****e lol.

    If this worked in the Steam Store then we'd be talking.

    I went through the games list on Epic. You can't sort by price like Steam and it seems rather overpriced anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,797 ✭✭✭sweetie


    got control plus season pass for 30 as I had the voucher too.
    they do have the odd sale so will keep an eye out for the next one.

    Indeed, they often have really good prices compared to Steam as well, for example I got Trover about €15 cheaper on Epic when it came out.

    Hi guys, I read on this thread that Deezer is available on carrier billing (albeit with some issues) but I've just tried to subscribe to Deezer premium via carrier billing on Vodafone and it's not giving Google carrier billing as an option. Anyone know what the story is?

    It used to be available via carrier billing, removed a long time ago. Some people still have it working, but they live in fear of a payment ever failing, as that will be it gone for good.

    Anyone able to think of a way of getting a 'before buying' car check ( Cartell, Motorcheck etc ) paid for with excess credit ?

    No, but I think I have leftover credits from one of those services you can have if you want? PM me.

    Done Deal accept 3 credit, they might offer such a service via a third party.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 951 ✭✭✭3d4life


    Otssto, thats interesting. I shall have a fool around.

    Basil, thanks for the kind offer. Lets see if I can figure out something through DD first

    Just found this thread. Have around €90 free credit with Vodafone

    Pay for Spotify premium right now. Prob makes sense to move to YT Music / Google Music?

    Only if you have nothing better to spend it on. I pay for a family YT premium sub @ around €2.50/month with rupees, and save my credit for other subs.
