How do you purchase viber out credit?

I have unused Tesco mobile credit I'd like to use.

Thanks

Go to Viber out in the sliding menu within Viber. Select a credit amount to purchase and choose to pay using Google Play.

I've just done this and I'm given 3 options to pay.

1) credit or debit card
2) PayPal
3) redeem code.

I was asking how do I use my Tesco mobile credit to pay

I don't think you can use Tesco credit

I had a similar query, raised it on the Tesco mobile forum, the rep there told me they don't support this type of payment, and have no plans to start supporting it

Maybe thread title could be changed to incorporate three/vodafone

viber out is available as a << in app purchase >>
to use the phone credit the only option is through carrier billing , and that's available only if you're with three or vodafone network in ireland

I could only buy the 9.99 option with credit

The others were credit card only

Is anyone having issues paying for apps on the play store on three?

I get as far as clicking on carrier billing, but then an error pops up saying 'too risky, try again in 30 minutes'

Just made a quick peak time landline call via Viber out and the total cost was 3 cent so very happy

The same call on three would cost about a euro

I'm using coingate to convert to crypto. Approx 35 euro worth of credit gives you 30 euro of btc/ltc/eth.

These guys reliable? Not great reviews in places online.

How do you buy with your credit from then?

I've only used them once so far. They get you to call them on a premium number and then they charge you €2.95 a minute. So for 30 euro they get you to stay in the line for 10 mins.

And has it all gone through?

Does Vodafone support carrier billing for Dropbox or Office 365, or is that only for Three?

I'm giving them a go today seeing as I have basically no interest in spending the credit on anything else. Only option is to phone a number for about 10 minutes which claims you'll get €30 in the coin of your choice.

I had €44.88 before the call and €9.30 after. It's automatic so it did hang up itself. Transactions can take up to 24 hours to be completed so I'm still waiting on them to see how much of the €30 I'll get. I'm sending it straight to Coinbase to cash out on it since I already have a bit of ETH anyway.

I set up an account but it does not allow me to withdraw to coinbace?
I must be a merchant? Did I screw it up?

I verified as a trader and in payout settings added the ethereum address that coinbase gave me.

I still haven't actually been given the ETH from the transaction so don't know if what I did is right either though.

SkepticQuark

Quick update then to the whole credit to crypto.

So the transaction was completed today so a wait time of two days.

The call cost me €35.58 for an amount of "€30", today I got approx 0.02ETH which has a current market value of €14.06. So ultimately I lost about €21.52 of credit to get this.

Look what you get for 35 euro in BTC

Payout Information
After successful payment, you will receive approx. 0.001898 BTC.

Thats about 13.50 euro

Out of curiosity what pre pay plans are you all on? I seem to run out of credit all the time, I need to get on one of these plans!

I ring everyone on viber or watsapp, thanks to this thread I buy viber credit to ring landlines

Agreed, will probably do it when I have no other use for credit, after all the fees to get it from the exchange to the bank you'd be looking at around €12 for me anyway (I have to put it through a complicated process because the name on my account is different to my legal name) but that's over €120 recouped in a year that you normally wouldn't see back. If some sort of game credit purchase system was still in place that would be ideal, just sell the codes and from what I saw there was less taken off in fees.

Three's PAYG plan with "all you can eat data." I only need the data so never use it up.

You can buy Google storage (this is for Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive etc.) monthly, not able to use it for the discounted annual rates though

I think you can use it on carzone.ie too if you want to sell your car

For those of you with kids (or without :-)), i got a Disney app - 'Watch Disney movies & tv shows' and its 6.99 monthly charge with my phone credit
App; DisneyLife

I have bought lots in the past but now I am getting a "You device is not provision for carrier billing. Contact your mobile operator."

Spent half an hour on live chat & lost the will to live. Anyone else have the same problem.

I did, I just removed it and added it again. I shave a dual SIM phone so it kept trying to use the other number, I had to disable that sim for the number I wanted to use to register.

How did you add it ?

In the play store.
Account, payment methods, down near the bottom.

To remove it tapping more payment settings on the bottom will open a webpage you can do it there.

editorsean

It's the "Use 3 billing" near the bottom. The following shows an example when I changed it for Google Music recently after porting to Three.



The top of the page shows the obsolete carrier billings from the temporary SIM #s of my previous portings over the years - O2 to Three, Eir, Vodafone and now back to Three. When I previously had a dual SIM phone with two SIMs, I periodically had to redo this with the second SIM temporarily removed, like /\/ollog mentioned. The carrier billing would fail if the second SIM was set as default for data.

For some reason on mine when choosing the options there are 2 for Three. One is my mobile number and one just says Three. It only works when I select 'Three'.

As in the picture above. I couldn't remember the exact wording.

I used some credit to rent The Justice League on the Play Store. Can watch it through the PS4 or Chromecast on the big tv.

Has anyone been able to buy viber out credit with three phone credit on iOS?

Everytime i select to buy it on the app for €10.99 it goes to the app store to use my credit card but nothing for selecting phone credit. Maybe only android.

You can always pop your sim into an Android phone, purchase the credit and then stick it back in your iPhone.

And that i might do ,

When you guys call others on the viber app, Does it say your ringing from the mobile number or a another number. Don't wanna be calling others that looks like im calling with money from nigeria. :rolleyes:

Your normal number shows up at the other end.

Just wanted to post to say thanks to the OP and other contributions.

I never knew you could spend Vodafone credit through the Google Play Store.

I'm on an older PAYG plan with Vodafone which suits me and I have €10 credit which gets carried each month. (I have a work phone as well so can use that for calls etc) I accumulated a good bit of credit so was able to make a purchase of an e-book through google play books last night - annoyingly, it doesn't sync with Kindle straight off the bat but with a bit of faffing got it to work.

Kindle and Google play are completely different formats (mobi and epub)

You should just have used the Google play books app

I read the kindle going to bed and find it easier on the eyes than using a bright screen. I googled about transferring books from Google Play to Kindle and came across this article: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/179863?hl=en

Before reading it fully, I went ahead and purchased the book on Google Play. It was only afterwards that I noticed that last paragraph which mentions 'What won't work' and listed Kindle there :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter anyway as after a few minutes googling, I found a solution to transfer the book onto my Kindle

Can you buy credit on Google play using three payg credit over WiFi?

webpal

Anyone know of any apps that are "compatible" with android and iOS? i.e. If I use my android phone to buy an app with phone credit can I then download that app on iOS.

Or could I use my credit to transfer to my play account to purchase an app? If so can you transfer all credit or how would you set up a recurring monthly payment?

RossieMan

No to all that.
