    Not sure if it works for tesco but just try to purchase a paid app in the play store.

    When selecting payment method choose carrier billing.

    If this works then you'll be able to use your credit for purchases

    No. Only Three and Vodafone in Ireland currently.

    For Android users, and picking up on the earlier LikeCharity mention, you can get a third party app if you want to donate quick and easy.

    Not that anyone's aware of

    Thanks for this thread, had no idea you could spend the credit :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 453 ✭✭go4it


    I've been with tesco prepaid for 2 years , til this march.
    Every year was building around 100 quid unused credit ( from the 15euro/month top up ) and donate it to about 10 charities through the short sms number value codes ( likecharity list )
    The only other way to use the remaining tesco prepaid credit was to upgrade to bill pay and use the prepaid credit to pay the bills..

    One of my mates on three network was looking to make a basic android app with < in app > spending, that way he would recover 40-50% of the credit...

    So if I have a balance built up, I can switch to bill and won't have to pay anything until the balance is gone? Might do that as I'd probably get a few months free

    Via Google play .

    At the moment I get the option to manage subscriptions when I go to the UFC app in the store

    at one point a sales rep in tesco store offered me the option to move from prepaid to bill pay ( and to enslave me for 2 years with bills..)
    Afaik was a maximum amount that you can carry over from pre to post pay, around 200 quid or so

    You can enter text competitions with Tesco Mobile .
    Like the RTE comps .

    1. Add credit or debit card
    2. Add PayPal
    3. Redeem code

    I would much prefer Deezer if I could pay using my credit.
    You can pay for Deezer with your Three credit on this page. If you don't mind creating a new Deezer account, the first three months are free. The subscription is then €9.99/month, deducted from your call credit.

    Those on Vodafone can pay for Spotify Premium with their credit. I posted some info earlier in this post. This subscription is €5/month.

    Google Music seems to have recently reduced its price as it now shows as €7.99/month. It gives me the option to pay by Vodafone carrier billing (shown below), so I assume the same remains true with the Three network, which I paid with in the past.

    Sounds like you are on iOS. It doesn't support carrier billing in Ireland.
