I went to site but don't see that do I need to download the app?

I got an ad for that deal from Facebook, but when I click it it goes to the website where I can't use VF credit. In the app it's only 50% off which is above the threshold for using credit

webpal · 06-12-2019 8:45pm

I’m on 3, I downloaded app on iPhone also and got the offer but obviously can’t use 3 credit on that. It seems to disappear if you don’t avail so maybe delete app cookies etc and re install, it might re appear.

franglan · 07-12-2019 1:12am

Yep downloaded app and its 51% off, 65 euro for year which is above 3 limit.

What is the 3 limit?
I know VF is €30.

I've spent over €40 on a VPN on 3, so it's between ~€42 and €65.

Just wondering what 3's limit is.

webpal · 07-12-2019 9:47am

I downloaded app, picked favourite teams and didn't enter any further details, just kept pressing skip. The 66% off was the top story. It did disappear though when I clicked in and came out, only the 51% off was there then.

franglan · 07-12-2019 10:27am

I'd guess 50 beans.

Anyone know off hand can you use the cash for Patreon? Something like an annual pass for a podcast?

This thread will be very quite from now on with everybody legging it to GOMO.

I'm sticking with three. For the unlimited Internet it's great value. Just use viber out for calls. I donate to charity and use coingate sometimes

Nope, Deezer + books + movies.
I would be worse off with GoMo.

The people that have something to use their left over credit on will probably not switch.

One More Toy · 07-12-2019 5:44pm

Haven't GOMO pulled their offer as they hit 100k subscribers?

Wanted to do this to support a couple of causes but couldnt see a way.

Sent an email to Patreon suggesting that they implement direct carrier billing

No reply

I guess Patreon want to get your credit card ...

Shame really

Please someone prove me wrong

( other than a multistage process involving crypto and yadda, yadda, yadda ... )

most businesses are reluctant to take phone credit as payment because of the hefty google tax ( 30% )
In most countries, people don't build up credit from prepaid like we do here ( local telco's don't really enjoy sharing money with others )

I wont derail the thread further but that is most definitely not the case, full LTE everywhere for me and I get around a bit, Im moving my parents off crappy Eir rural landline internet to Gomo with a 4G router, this is down in the Burren where you can only make phonecalls with 3 or Vodafone in certain parts of the house. Best thing is even if it does drop to H+ or 3G in the back of beyond they're still perfectly usable, 3G and H+ with Three just meant you had no internet.

I'm hoping Google Stadia will allow you to use credit to subscribe next month. Think it's 9.99 a month.

This has now been released, does anybody know if you can use 3 Credit to pay for the subscription?

how does this work, im getting conflicting details of the cost. its 129 for a premium. but 10 per month which gives you one game (similar to audible), but this 10euro a month apply to the basic edition that is only coming out in Feb 2020.

The idea of Stradia looks great. wonder will PS4/Xboxes sitting wrapped under xmas trees at the moment end up in landfills in the next 6 monhths

The idea may be great but the execution of it isn't. And no, PS4 and Xbox One will still be around for a long time (even with new consoles next year). More likely that Stadia gets dumped by Google first.

I was able to sign up using my 3 credit, but I couldn't use the credit for Google play music. We'll see what happens after 3 months

The J Stands for Jay · 12-12-2019 9:45pm

I'm thinking of moving from 3 bill pay to prepay to cut my costs. Will I be able to pay for Google drive and Deezer with the credit? Some posts seemed to say the option was gone

12-12-2019 9:52pm

what's the best current vpn option/deal at the current time for paying by credit?

focus on iplayer in particular and having both windows and android access

I used my daughters excess credit (which I pay for) on her pre-pay and activated YouTube music family plan using her 3 credit. They have yet to take a payment though as we are on first free month with this. 3 credit Payment was checked on confirmation by google.

Going to use up three call credit on a three sim - yello and viber

Can I do this via wi-fi - as I don't want to top up by another €20

Many thanks,

I didn't get a refund but got a goodwill payment, still awaiting the actual payment but haven't got on to them since.

Rented a movie again tonight which thankfully worked but received a text message to say my credit was gone under 2.50, after rental I had about €10, so just went on to chat to make sure the text message was wrong, jaysus its painful, I ended up getting kicked out as the text box was blanked out for some reason, I gave up then.

Got onto them via chat, the person on the other end just stopped responding after a while, so I just switched to Gomo. It's OK but I'd rather Three's data speeds. But if pay by credit is going to randomly break with no recourse, I'll put up with the slower speeds.

calnand · 14-12-2019 2:03am

Same no chance of getting my refund, it's the same everytime, how much did you pay, was I charged by Google and then it goes I'm transferring to a colleague and repeat, for the past month.

nomdeboardie · 16-12-2019 6:34pm

Gaah, just realised that during the 3Pay outage, at the end of Oct, I must have paid for a movie with my debit card account rather than phone credit. So in my case I assume the option for credit disappeared, I didn't notice, and inadvertantly used the other payment method I had set up - I would have been better failing to get the goods and having my credit taken anyway, like others had experienced, as I would not have bothered to rent the movie with 'real' money! To make sure I don't get caught if 3Pay goes AWOL again I've removed my debit card...too easy to click without thinking

I just got mine back today - it was 5 weeks 2 days in all but I made sure to keep on at them (via Twitter DM) and in fairness they finally came through.

Just checked my balance, and mine is back too. So much for, "we'll let you know when the refund has been applied".

Just in time for few movies over Christmas.

go4it · 19-12-2019 2:58pm

there's an app ( and website ) that does videos with Santa - good craic for the kids Portable NorthPole - the 13.99 package looks good value ( bought with prepaid phone credit )

B Rabbit · 20-12-2019 2:36pm

Got refunded also
