Maybe it’s been mentioned before but it seems you can use excess credit on GAAGO.

I had a bunch of credit disappear a while ago, they promised itemised billing showing where it went, but it never happened. In the end I took it as an opportunity to move my number to 48, it's amazing being able to call people again without having to use some kind of VOIP, or worry about chewing through credit.

I still have another legacy 3 SIM that I've moved all my subs across to, and I'm just going to make sure I never let it build up too much.

48 are owned by Three if you weren't aware.

I am, but thanks for checking.

I'm not salty over it, like I'm sure a lot of people would be. I just felt like my accumulated credit was always keeping me tied to that plan, and I really missed being able to make a phone call without having to think about it.

Hi guys, i went on to spend some of my 3 credit on the play store and it was saying my 3 billing was unavailable so i removed it from my payment methods and then went to add it again but now there is nothing showing up to allow me to select 3 billing. Its only shows the option of adding another credit card. Does anybody know what is going on here?

Does any one were able to set up their apple payment option as a mobile phone? I cant get past the verification code, once i entered the verification code the message pops out unable to verify the code. Im kinda stuck

And if some one did managed to set it up, does it uses your three credit?

Cost €6.99 pm instead of €4.99 pm. Guess twitch add on the commission taken.

You mean 3 credit? The sticky in post 1 has the main ones but it needs updating. For the rest you will need to have scan of the thread.

Cloud Storage
VPN

Then random apps that pop up as useful
Tapet, changes wallpaper, cant set the colours it uses
Hermit, make lite versions of apps or turn webpages into app (like boards for one)

mrcheez · 15-11-2020 10:22AM

Then streaming options like Shudder and Disney+ ...I'm chuffed with both of these

You can use text numbers to donate to a lot of charities, ultimately a better use of the credit than leaving it expire!

I have been stacking my credit into bitcoin using Coingate to Coinbase, also have a 4g router so have it from 2 devices, I get about 26e for every €60 worth of credit, anyway for about 3-4 months stacking and the recent increase in bitcoin I just bought the new raspberry pi4 kit from the Pi Hut, so basically a new computer for around 8 months worth of credit, quite pleased with myself

thats exactly how it should be done. nice post bennyc. the credit is useless for apps and calls. better to transfer it into bitcoin. And also to exchange it soon as many stories on this forum of people building up loads of credit for it to disappear.

And i like that you are not stupid enough to speculate on bitcoin value. Better to buy something with it. and those raspberrys are great. more raspberrys sold across the world than any other computer.

im using my 20euro credit for youtube family. not great value but i dont want to waste time messing with an adblocker. and music is handy too. disney plus is good too. but cant get both.

Very interesting!

Do your coins go to a wallet or stay with a coingate exchange wallet? What would the fees be to send the coins to the likes of Coinbase to cash out?

you put it into any address you like, i have been doing this over a year now with ETH going to my Gdax (coinbase) account.
You won't get the full amount €30 nets you about €13 ETH, pick whatever coin you feel is at a good price.
Most of my transactions last year are worth over €30 now since ETH doubled in price since then. At times Three are basically paying me to use their service :pac:
