    Yeah, me too. Seems to have been recredited.

    Now that the LLS is off air for summer, I'm saving my excess Tesco for mobile data roaming when I go to Portugal later in the summer.
    Usually the fiver would go over the month entering the weekly quiz but I'll have about €10 excess when I go away for data roaming. The accommodation I've booked does not have WiFi.

    To thine own self be true

    I'm noticing the book deals in the Uk Google Play store hardly ever appear in the one we get.

    Would it be possible to put my sim into an Android phone, set up carrier billing, subscribe to these services and put my sim back into an iOS phone?


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


    Yes.

    Hmm I knew something was off about it, I just thought it was because everyone was getting used to mobile controls

    I used the carrier billing to buy Private Internet access, it's a vpn service. It was 40ish for the year and unlimited bandwidth and download

    Hi

    I'm using PIA also and would like to pay with credit. How do I pay with carrier billing. Not sure how?

    Thanks for any info

    I downloaded the app and clicked for the yearly fee and play store pay comes up and I used the carrier billing there. You need to be on three and have carrier billing setup as a payment method

    Did someone mention here you can pay for an Office 365 subscription using Three phone credit?

    Can't find info on it on Google (or at least I don't know what to search for) :/

    Yes you can. I'm pretty sure I did it through the OneDrive app.

    You can pay for 1 month VPN with Express VPN app and pay for courses with the Udemy app on the playstore using phone credit.

    3 have blocked donations to charity now, due to "security reasons"? I had donated €40, but now they’ve stopped it.

    From your post on the 3 forum it sounds like your account has been blocked for security reasons rather than a general thing. Hopefully a 3 rep will reply today/tomorrow and sort it for you. :)

    It’s unclear. If it was an account block, I would have thought they would have advised contacting CS

    Wouldn't it be funny if you could buy 20e credit from 3 with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 667 ✭✭✭spongbob


    I've just join three

    topped up by 20€ for there unlimited data & free text plan.

    I still get to keep my 20€

    Is it your own charity?

    Otherwise what's the point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 667 ✭✭✭spongbob

    Yeah after the likes of Fergus Finlay get their cut about a euro of the 20 will get through to the needy.

    How do I use my left over credit with the Play store? Also, did someone mention that we can use our money on the stock market with some app? Or did I just imagine I read that... It would be fun to use it on that, nothing to lose really

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,920 ✭✭✭dashcamdanny


    Used coingate.com last week. 30 euro call to a premium number.

    Received 13.43 euros worth of bitcoin in my Coinbase account a few day later. (0.00253968 BTC) Bit of a rip off but there is literally noting else to spend it on with Tesco mobile.

    May as well get something.

    worth 14.20 today.

    If you have PayPal there is websites where you can sell your bitcoin for PayPal they would pay 17 euro paypal for your balance so that ain't bad ;)

    Its from Like Charity, but the limit has been set by 3. I can see nothing in their T&Cs.

    "For Security reasons Three is setting a 40Euro limit on your donations. Sorry for any inconvenienceLIKECHARITY"

    Like Charity have confirmed that they were instructed by 3.

    Anyone know is it possible to spend the credit on the patreon app? Would rather not have to sign up and install the app to find out

    No doesn't appear so unfortunately. Only option for me was card or PayPal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,795 ✭✭✭sweetie


    forgot to top up and wasted the guts of 100e on data yesterday!

    Curious why you can't spend your credit on everything.

    Do the sellers lose out on a portion of the cash if you pay using credit, or do they need to pay a commission to Three?

    Set an automatic top-up every 28 days.
