If I recall correctly:
On the Plex phone app, click your name top left->Settings->Account

And then there should be an "upgrade account" or similar button midway down.
Then just go through the checkout process using three billing

I think (open to correction) that there is a daily spend limit of €40 through the app store, I've not bought any apps that cost more so I can't confirm.
I'm currently running monthly subscription of Google Play Music and Plex Pass which more or less uses all my credit now.

Might be worth trying this time next year for the unlimited*

*Just be sure to make a billable call every 6 months so your credit doesn't expire so I believe

Never knew that about the credit expiring! Thanks

Just got my final bonus €10 for switching to 3 a year ago. Have spent plenty, but have also accumulated over €150 credit.

My YouTube premium trial has just expired, so my outgoings of €13 for YouTube premium, €7 for MS Office 365 and €2 for Google Drive storage will now slightly exceed the €20/month going in.

If you're on the regular 3 PAYG AYCE plan, unused top-ups expire after six months of being in the queue, regardless of what chargeable uses you make. So if you top up €20 a month, you can't accumulate more than six months' worth of €20 top-ups or €120.

On the site it says
"If you make at least one chargeable call every six months, you will keep your top-up credit active and prevent it from expiring. If you don't do this, your cash credit will expire after six months of non-use."
That doesn't sound like you can't accumulate more than six months

Keep reading.

I'm quite sure it also says charges are taken from the most recent top up first.

Yep, that's how you prevent your active top-up from expiring. But it doesn't prevent queued top-ups from expiring

If you're on an ex-O2 plan though, one chargeable use every six months is all that's needed to keep all your credit from expiring.

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

Hi again

Unfortunately with Vodafone it's €30 daily limit so can't get PIA yearly €43 subscription. Says transaction exceeded.

I thought three had €30 limit also so where you able to get a way around it or did it just work ok for you.

Thanks

Alright lads, I just switched over to vodafone PAYG and am trying to figure out how to use my vodafone credit as a payment option on google play.

When I go to the play store and click "account" and then click "payment methods" I am given 4 options:

1)Add a credit card
2)Add Paypal
3)Redeem Code
4)More payment options

None of these options say anything about using your vodafone credit.

Can anyone point me in the right direction

Thanks guys

Had same issue on Android Oreo. Once updated to Pie Vodafone appeared as payment option

matchthis · 27-09-2018 8:56pm

Try signing out of play store, then look for a cheap app to buy and click on it. It'll ask you to sign in and choose payment method. Might let you stop after that without completing purchase by going back restore homepage. That's how I got set up long time ago, but am with three

Do you mean the obvious thing like how it only works on Android?

EireLemon · 28-09-2018 6:46pm

Can I download an emulator for Android and set up YouTube premium or do I actualy have to put my sim into an android?

So it can’t be done then, that’s all you had to say
I’ve never used pay as you go before and the phone has €60 of credit
Have to think of another way to use it up

The title of the thread says android
