does this mean that the apps will be charged to your monthly sim provider bill (such as t-mobile, vodafone or whoever)?:
"To buy an app or game from your phone
When you buy an app or game from your phone, the default payment method, if available, will be to pay for the item using your mobile phone account. "
thanks
i believe u have the option of using whatever credit card or any prepaid marketplace cards they may choose to sell or having the apps billed to your account

Hmm This would have been my first app that I paid for (Tapatalk). I have always heard that I could bill it to my AT&T account. But when I went to buy it it only accepted credit cards, I have no credit card or debit card as I don't have a bank account (long story..) So how do I download a app that bills to my wireless bill? Is there an app I have to download to enable that??
try disabling ur WiFi and access the app store with ur Data Plan thats how i got it to show (Bill to My T-Mobile Account) it should work
Probably for the past 24 hours, havent been able to 'bill to sprint account'. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix or workaround while still being able to use the bill to account option?
Edit: I should note that the option is available but always fails.
Thanks.

Maybe they are fixing the system so people can't use bill to carrier as a method to get the app for free by abusing the system. Give it a couple days.

theres a set limit per billing cycle that can be billed to the account through android market.
doesnt apply to sprints digi store for tones or whatever, if anyone actually still buys that stuff.
Edit: Link to source of info
When you purchase an Android application from the Android Market, you can choose to have the cost appear on your monthly Sprint bill instead of paying by credit card at the time of purchase.
There is a $50 limit on the total amount of transactions made to your Sprint bill per billing cycle. This $50 limit does account for refunds processed from the Andriod Market - Any refunds processed will be deducted from the total bill.
I recently got Google Wallet onto my Galaxy Nexus, and got a free Google Prepaid Debit Card. See, well I don't have a real credit card or anything, and I want to be able to get free apps on the Amazon App Store. I heard one trick is to register a completely used debit card with your account and you can get the free apps. So is there a way to get the real number for my Google Prepaid Debit Card? I don't think it is the ID because I just made a purchase Google wallet and the last 4 digits on my receipt is different from the ID.
I'm going to check it so wait
I have a carrier unlocked AT&T HTC One X and I am trying to purchase apps through direct carrier billing on a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card. I have $60 remaining in my T-Mobile prepaid account and instead of it going to waste, I am trying to use direct carrier billing to purchase apps for my HTC One X. I don't have access to another Android phone or I would try that first.
I am able to access AT&T direct carrier billing on Google Play but can't access it on T-Mobile. A customer service rep has assured me that I should be able to purchase apps as far as they are concerned. I am wondering if ICS on the AT&T has been modified to lock the carrier into the AT&T-related sphere, somehow. I can use the phone, SMS, and internet with my T-Mobile card on my One X but can't purchase apps through carrier billing - the option doesn't even appear in Google Play.
Does anyone have any experience purchasing apps with carrier billing using a T-Mobile prepaid account? Any suggestions of other things I can try or other ways of using the remaining funds productively? Thanks.
I don't have paypal and am having grief setting up a pay-as-you-go credit card for Google Play and I want to donate to the developers who without which I wouldn't have been able to unlock my phone and or learn about programming Android devices (apps, ROMS, etc...) so that I can one day do the same as them. I didn't have the money to be about to donate before and now I have a few bux I wanted to give them some for all their hard work and because I believe in they way they do what they erm do. Sorry about the cliche am tired. lol Anywho thanks for any help. And short of contacting them individually I don't know what to do about it.:crying:
in my country you can buy some legal paypal funds..
do you at least have a debit card cuz you can donate via paypal even if you don't have an account, you just need a debit card or you can buy one of those prepaid visa or mastercard in a supermarket, pharmacy, etc.

I do have a debit card and it's also a pay-as-you-go VISA but it doesn't work for Google play or any of the places online that I have tried to use it. Ironically it is why I got it in the first place. lol. I don't have PayPal account. I sold something on eBay and was naive and skimped on cheaper shipping without a tracking number, and because the buyer said he didn't get the item they sided in his favor, so I can't use them. I have a friend that buys parts/etc for me on eBay for me but that doesn't help for Google play and buying/donating to apps. I am in Canada so if you know of a prepaid visa or service I can use to load my Google play account please let me know and I will get it. That way I can get the donate keys for the apps and pay for the XDA app etc...
