The one frustrating thing about that is the in app purchase subscription is far more expensive than paying by card through the site. The yearly sub is €44 at the moment (normally €72) but the in app price is €95. If you pay month to month its €9.99 by card from the website or €12.99. Pretty large premium for paying by app.

Google take 30% for any in app billing. Likely the reason headspace increases the price when using in app billing.

Does anyone know if I send money from my credit to another Vodafone payg, can they use it as if they are topping up their phone to use for their plan or does it not show as a top up?

AFAIK has to be from a VF bill payer

No, it's not classed as a top-up and it doesn't activate any top-up offers. It's simply a transfer of credit from one PAYG account to another.

I don't get the option to subscribe with my phone credit. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Is it not under "Payment methods" or something similar?

I have credit card PayPal and Safepay listed. Odd because I use my credit for a few subscriptions with no issue. I'm probably doing something wrong.

fixXxer · 27-07-2018 9:45am

Does anyone know of any Vodafone options for using credit? The ones I find are all 3.

Google Play Store works for both Vodafone and Three. Spotify for €5 a month is a Vodafone only offer.

fixXxer · 27-07-2018 11:49am

Thanks, much appreciated.

Same here - no VF option under Payment Options in Google Play Store. Have no idea how to get it.

Are you on Vodafone mobile data rather than WiFi? You can't set it up while connected to WiFi.

How do you buy with phone credit? Can't seem to see the option. Or have I misread your post

homingbird · 27-07-2018 8:27pm

I used it before it gives you the option @ checkout . The reason i want to buy it is i am on tescomobile they allow you buy internet addons so i buy the addon end of my tesco pasygo month & use skype for the second month i use 3 for home broadband so its that credit i want to use to buy skype credit.

Ireland not mentioned as a participating country.

EDIT:
Tried to buy a game and the was no carrier billing option available.

Had credit/debit card, paypal and gift card.

homingbird · 27-07-2018 10:40pm

You have to be signed in & use your phone to buy to get the option.

Kuva · 27-07-2018 11:13pm

Try settings - App - and delete storage in the play store apps.

Wipe the caches.

It's always them causing these problems.

Still doesn't work for me.

All I get is Paypal, Skrill Wallet & Credit/debit card.

Thank you. Already tried that but it still doesn't work. No option for Vodafone payment. Wondering if it's got to do with the APN settings. Mind sharing the settings from your phone so I can compare?

webpal · 28-07-2018 9:00am

Baseball fans, looks like you can subscribe to mlb.tv

I tried it but didn't go ahead as it was too dear (27.50 monthly on android) but the option is definately there to use my credit as payment.

There was a service that did this at buygamecredit.com. gone now

That's fierce useful information in the last few pages. Thanks everyone for sharing.

Seriously, can we keep the thread for actual things to spend credit on? Not what we'd like to see.

In theory the OP should be updated with info so you don't have to read through it all

RossieMan · 29-07-2018 9:04pm

You can't edit the OP after a certain period of time. It's something ridiculous like 2 weeks if I remember.

If you can't read a couple of pages back on the thread, perhaps you shouldn't be on the internet. It takes literally a couple of minutes to gather all the useful info from this thread.

It's too bad you can't downvote comments on boards as you can on reddit. Would hide posts like this.

homingbird · 31-07-2018 4:56pm

I got sorted with Yolla calling app the same as skype but they let you buy credit with google pay & you get mobile mintues as well as landline not everyone has a smartphone so it brings my monthly tesco pasygo down to 7.50 now i will only have to topup 6 times a year instead of 12.

Agreed but it'd be nice if mods updated the op

RossieMan · 31-07-2018 7:36pm

The laziness of some people is what kills threads like this. It turns into someone asking what can I spend credit on in every single page. Just read a week back and you'll find all generally.

You can still buy pubg on its main site with credit.

Good spot. Their rates seem a lot cheaper than Viber. About 2c/min instead of 9c/min to Irish mobile.

Although for Irish mobiles, it says from 2c/min. I wonder does this mean it depends on the mobile network you're calling? Does anyone have any actual experience of the rate charged when calling Irish mobiles?

There are 346 posts before your one. It's hardly lazy for people to enquire about things again rather than expect them to wade through 24 pages of posts.

The original post should be editable as it is with every other online forum.

There are 9 pages on this thread.
You're on the default 15 posts per page setting.
You would be better off setting it to 40 posts per page.

Thats irrelevant. There were over 340 posts to wade through.

It was just an fyi.
40 posts per page is > 15 posts per page.
