    Thanks, but no joy.
    Still not an option on Deezer and greyed out on Google.

    I have found that some days it just doesn't work. Leave it a day or 2 and it works again.
    Usually recurring payment setups are ok though

    I've removed and added pay with 3 credit, doesn't show up in Deezer now.
    Will see what happens.

    I vaguely remember signing up to Deezer via 3, but can't find anything on signing up now.

    Pretty sure paying for Deezer via credit was removed a good while ago. If you miss a payment, that's it....you're out.

    Have you tried YouTube Premium? You get music with that.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the case too. Once you miss a payment, you're snookered.

    Finally add the feature to iOS after they remove plans where you get to keep your credit.

    Full details on the website now. Apple music and iCloud storage is a good move as well as the App Store.

    I have read back through multiple pages but still not found the answer. I have about 300e in Tesco credit built up. Is there anything to spend it on?

    The only thing I can think of is to give it to Charity - https://api.likecharity.com/charities/

    Tesco doesn't support spending your credit any other ways, unless someone else here can correct me.

    As Tyson619 mentioned below there is plenty of charities that you could donate to. Carrier billing isn't supported so the only other things you can spend it on a text comps or add-ons. Perhaps a combination of a few of these would pay for a few months by themselves.

    Thank you for your response and your helpful suggestions. Appreciate it. However, as I understand it the Tesco link that you post relates to add ons...meaning you would still need a monthly top up to ADD ON to? I'm wondering if anyone could clarify?

    Add ons can be purchased from existing credit without any further top ups.

    Made my first iOS App Store Purchase today. But after adding "Mobile Phone" as a payment source in the App Store, it still kept showing me Apple Pay as the only payment option when making the purchase (Without the ability to change it to something else.)

    Decided to remove Apple Pay and my debt card from my Account settings, then it worked. Anyone have similar issues ?

    I had the same problems and could only use the credit when I removed my cards from Apple Pay. I was onto Apple support but they couldn’t figure it out.

    You may have to reorder your payment options so Mobile Phone is at the top to pay with your credit.

    Gutted Deezer has been removed from three have been using for years.
    I contacted three and Deezer and it is gone and won't be coming back
    Is Google play music or YouTube better for music?

    Youtube premium includes youtube music(formally google music).

    I tried migrating from Spotify.
    They limit you to 10 new playlists a day so I couldn't copy all my existing ones. I had probably 100 on Spotify. There's scripts to do it but they max out at 10 in 24 hours and I had no idea which I had copied already and which not. I gave up in the end. Scripts also finds weird matches or the songs weren't the same mix or miss tunes I really liked.
    It's mixed in with YouTube videos also which is annoying as it suggests music videos in your normal YouTube playlists based off interests and usually when I go to YouTube it's for visual not audio

    What I did like was music radio worked awesome as I found some great new artists as I guess it has different algos to Spotify.

    You can just subscribe to YT Music for a slightly cheaper price. YT Music is €9.99 per month. YT Premium is €11.99 per month. For the extra €2 per month you get Ad-free YouTube, background watching, and downloadable videos for offline watching.

    Personally I just subscribe to Music. I don't spend enough time on YT to warrant spending the extra on it.

    Can anyone confirm or deny whether you can set up the Google Play family Library and still use your credit to pay for things? The last time I tried (a couple of years ago) I lost the ability to pay for things with my credit, so I panicked and deleted the family group thing, then readded my mobile billing back.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    It's still the same.

    While you can still add the mobile payment to buy things, only existing content or things you've bought with the family payment method (CC) get added to the family library and anything you buy going forward with credit is just on your account.

    Only thing I'm able to share going forward was music sub.

    That's weird. My family payment method is my debit card, but I just purchased something using credit and it was immediately added to my family library.

    Yeah, it's pot luck on whether something you want can be bought via carrier billing. Am lucky in that I was able to use up the guts of €100 in excess credit on EastWest mapping in the post few months.

    Handy when you can do something like that, you can enjoy it more as free

    Seriously rethinking 3 after this, data speeds aren't something to write home about.

    Biggest thing is no going back with 3 new deals taking your credit

    No its not, even the aul thinking of leaving is pissing in the wind

    I'm pushing to find stuff to use it on

    Onedrive 7 a month, with added bonus of office (after near miss with Google docs)

    Changed VPN provider to wevpn at 5.50, only new, but highly rated, plus mainly only need it to watch "TV"

    After that if you make one or two calls be soon see it gone

    Three only worth unlimited data without speed limits advertised like Vodafone (did see someone got full speeds, but no guarantees)
