No ads, downloads, play in the background (as an aside, if thats not enough to entice you to use credit, check out Youtube Vanced - this plays in the background)

And no ads on YouTube vanced.

I'm sure it's been asked a few times, but what are the general benefits for YouTube premium?

Just offline streaming?

You also get exclusive series like cobra kai

I wonder will we be able to purchase Google Stadia subs via carrier billing. Now that would be sweet as it'll be around €9.99 a month.

Speaking of Stadia, I got an email from the UK Google Store about preordering it, and saw it was £129. Went to the Irish store to preorder and it was €129. Pleasant surprise.

Don't tell my Mrs.

With the paid subscription you get access a small number of games... but Destiny 2 with season 2 dlc is their flagship title, so probably not going to be a great selection (base game and season 1 dlc is going free to play anyway on all platforms)

Other than that, they have to buy the games, but they'll be standard retail price. Seem to have a lot of big names coming tho

There's also a free subscription that lets you play the games you bought at a lower resolution.

You'll be at the mercy of your internet connection though?

Internet Speed: You’ll need connectivity to stream games, naturally. Google recommends 35 mbps for the highest-level, 4K experience. 20 will get you 1080p, and 10 will get you 720p.

10 mb minimum.

Beyond many in Ireland probably for the next 20-30 years

Could buy/rent a load of movies from Google Play Movies.

e-books or Audiobooks from the Play Store if movies are not your thing


As you only use your phone for emergencies, then you may not want the above (assuming you have an other way to play said content), if not then i'm sure looking back through the thread will give you ideas

Probably asked hundreds of times so apologies, to use the credit on the play store for yt premium etc, I just go to the play store app, go to payment options and click use Vodafone Billing and that will just use my credit ?

RossD12

That’s right

sunny2004

Just for reference. Is there an up to date list of things to use your credit on, I'm asking as the first post hasn't been updated in over a year.

Cheers did that but when I try to buy it it won't let me, it says another app is blocking access to Google pay

you can 'top-up' some voip apps with credit : i.e. viber and yolla ( and possible others too) for calling abroad on low rates, using your mobile number as call id
[ in Vodafone's case : up to 3-4 years ago, it was up to 1 euro/min to call some mobile destination within EU ; even now, if you don't have any bundle to include 'national minutes' , you will pay around 30c/min to call someone down the street on another network, but waaay cheaper to call UK and other 'in demand' foreign destinations..]

Why do you want a VPN

I got windscribe for a tenner for a year and only use it as chrome extension to block ads and get onto restricted sites

On the phone I found it did more harm then good, slower speeds, Google play store didn't seem to work properly to name a few

Maybe other providers don't have issues, but the speeds definitely take a hit

Im asking him why, I have an idea, but doesnt seem to match up

Search for something and oh look ads on facebook for what you searched

After that all I see is get restricted sites or Bt Sport on youtube videos(most seem to be UK only)

Id rather spend my money on a cloud provider to back up person pictures/videos etc
