Ok, so I have been searching all night but to no avail. Has anyone ran into an issue where their TMo Payment Account showed Expired in the Android Market? When going through my phone, the only option for payment I have is Credit Card. When going through browser It shows Credit Card and "Tmobile USA Expired" which is greyed out. I am current with my bill and have tried both USD and other curancy apps. No luck
Also, I am running new Android Market. Thanks for the help guys
I'm having the same issue. Can't seem to find anything on the google checkout site, android market site, or tmobile site.
Same here. Meh
new market bug perhaps? just checked on my G2 and google checkout is normal (on the old market)
if no one else has reported anything similar, would make sense that it's something with the new market considering most people are still using the old one at this point.
I called T-Mobile, they said it was nothing on there end. Currently talking with android support at Google to figure out what's going on.
Deleting the account from Google checkout, then using the old market to readd the account gives the same result, show the T-Mobile account as expired.
I was able to purchase SBP Shell through my Tmo account, so it seems this may just be an isolated issue

It seems that billing to the Tmo account only works with apps that list the prices in whatever currency your country uses. I was looking closer at the Titanium Backup Pro Key and it says you must use a payment option that accepts charges Swiss Francs. I guess T-Mobile USA only accepts charges in US dollars.
I looked into that but some USD apps I was still unable to purchase in that mannor
Same issue...possibly resolved.
I just ran into this when I was buying SwiftKey X. It advertised for $4.07 from their beta app link, then it was $3.99 in the market on the phone and $4.05 on the market through the pc.
When I went to pay with a card, it told me the total would be £2.48. I guess they're masking prices and not telling customers that it isn't available through carrier billing without the USD being the final choice.
any1 figure out a fix? i wanna buy fpse!
I'm in the same boat. It seems to work about once a month. My bill was paid two weeks ago so it makes no sense. After about two weeks of waiting it'll let me buy the same app that I w3as trying to buy when it said it was expired.
Heya,
I know T-mobile offers discounts to employees of Best Buy, but was wondering what information a T-Mo CSR would ask me for to apply the discount to my account? An associate in the store tried recently when I told her I worked at Best Buy, but something was wrong with her PC...she said I just needed to call #611 and tell them.
Is there a way for them to verify through a database or something? Or do you just need to give them something simple like a store # perhaps?
/one and only bump
I currently work at mobile. First off that consultant is a dumb ****. No way to add the discount for you even if you actually work at best buy. We would need your numbers and rep stuff. Secondly you need a best buy email address to verify. you need to then log on that email and verify some stuff. No wayfor you to get a discount sorry. Depending on the mobiles Verizon rep they can get you 25% off. Monthly Bill.

I edited you post and will only say it once. That launguge has no place on xda.
I use Google Voice on a daily basis for working, getting all my phone calls forwarded, keeping voice & missed records, etc. SO I decided if I ever want to change service one day from AT&T to someone else which I have in the past I would port my number over to Google Voice. So I called AT&T to talk & find what fees I would incur. I spoke with a voice rep and a tech rep. Both said I could not port my phone number in anyway to another carrier without incurring a ETF of $305. I said I dont want to kill my service with AT&T but they said "I could not have the best of both worlds". Now I was really nice to let them know what I would like to do by keeping there service and porting my number.
Anyone got any ideas of whom I can speak with besides adding another line and not incurring a ETF?
You cannot port to another carrier while under contract without incurring the ETF. If your contract expires, without you making any changes that would renew it (changing your plan, for one, I think some carriers even re-up if you get a new phone) and you're on month-to-month, then you're free to port without any termination fees.
That's how I did it when I came from Verizon and Quest (home phone, no contract anyway) to AT&T.

When I left Sprint, I forgot that none of the other carriers had Google Voice integration, and ported my number over to AT&T instead of Google Voice. Huge mistake. Unfortunately, I can tell you that I tried every angle I could think of to get AT&T to let me port my number out while maintaining my contract and there is just no way that they can do it. If you port your number out, you will incur the ETF. I must have spoken to every level of billing and technical service they have; all very nice, and though few understood what I wanted to do or what Google Voice is they all really did try in earnest to find a good solution for me, and sadly they all came to the same conclusion.
I've just kind of settled for waiting until my contract is up and then porting my number out. My fear at that point will be that I will have to sign a new contract to get another number from them, which will suck.

My notion is now I believe that whomever is with Verizon or AT&T will incur shortly NEW higher fees based off the new plans they are going to implement. I do not have multiple devices or use alot of data so their new plans will not work for me. Straight Talk or some other low cost carrier might. However I just signed up in March so I am not looking to change my plans yet or until the economy starts to get worse. Either way I am stuck till my contract runs out or pay the $305. http://www.yahoo.com/_ylt=AqlTQl9rp7Z2.oyZbfF69wybvZx4;_ylu=X3oDMTRtY2hwdWkyBGEDTmV3IEZyb250IE9wZW5zIGluIFdpcmVsZXNzIEJhdHRsZQRjY29kZQNwemJ1YWxsY2FoNQRjcG9zAzgEZwNpZC0yMzY3NjQ4BGludGwDdXMEbWNvZGUDcHpidWFsbGNhaDUEbXBvcwMwBHBrZ3QDMgRwb3MDMQRzZWMDdGQtZmluBHNsawN0aXRsZQR0ZXN0AzUyNg--/SIG=132qrou5f/EXP=1339683498/**http://finance.yahoo.com/news/front-opens-wireless-battle-040100608.html?l=1

If your plan costs change you can always try to get out your contract. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds.
Interesting. It looks like a number port in or out kills the line and starts a new one as I experienced when I ported my google voice number to ATT. I was in contract and remained in contract without an ETF, but billing showed it as a line termination and a new line start with the remaining months
I suspect the system isn't set to allow it by design. Maybe if you go high enough you can find someone in corporate who can waive/credit the ETF?

1st of all please apologies me if i post in wrong thread, I an new here.
I have recently made an icon theme for nova/apex/adw launcher.
I am student and have no credit card neither bank account to pay play store 25$ first time fee.
I wanted to ask someone who already has google play publisher account can also post my app for 1.99$ and after few months he could return my money i earn from my app?
Even though I can't help you with this, I do advise that you do background check of the dev...
And whatever dev you choose, it shall be at your own risk as XDA will not be able to help you in money matters...

I totally agree with you, money even makes most honest man blind but i also have no other option .
I would strongly advise against this. Are you able to use a pre-paid credit card?

I know its not a good and trusted way but as i said above i also have no other option and no i am not able to use pre-paid credit card.
As a "student", how old are you ?
Are you located outside of the United States of America ?
If you're in the USA, just get a bank account - many, many bank accounts are completely and absolutely free. I know that a segment of the US population does manage to get by without a bank account - but not having one is COSTING you money in check cashing fees and the like.
I'm not a rich person and I come from a family that was below the poverty line for many years - yet I've had a bank account since I was nine years old. My parents wouldn't have signed me up for one if it had cost money.
Go to a bank or credit union - ask about a free checking account. Get one.
If you are under 18, your parents or any other person over 18 who trusts you not to bounce cheques can help you get a bank account. Or give your parents the $25 and use their account or do chores or something.
If you are outside the USA, refer to whatever procedures are in your country. I have to be skeptical that you could be in a country where you can access reliable computing and internet but not be able to open a bank account (you can even do this on-line these days - and you can cash cheques with some bank's mobile apps - so it's possible to even circumvent location from a physical branch as a factor in being able to open one). I'm sure it's possible, somewhere, but I find it difficult to believe.
I mean, if this developer is going to give you the money less the initial $25... how were they going to send it to you ? Letters can be lost in the mail legitimately. If they are going to write you a personal cheque... how are you going to deposit it ? What if your theme doesn't sell that well and you end up paying WAL*MART just to give you whatever's left ?
Is this developer supposed to keep writing you cheques as long as the app is being sold ?
Are you going to give THEM a cut for doing this ? They'd have to pay postage, after all. Or at the least spend time out of their day to pay you your likely small beans - when they could be running their own business.
Who's going to do that ?
Solution : Get a bank account. Deposit money.
Other Solution : Get a friend or someone you actually know to help you set up a bank account and/or loan you $25.

I live outside USA and im at the moment 15. A friend of me who lives in uk (thought we are friends for 3 years) he agreed to create publisher account for me, but after he went to register he said it has only credit card method and i never use credit card but only paypal for online shopping, so he disagreed to create.So i was thinking someone honest could handle my app then the money i earn can be sent to his paypal account so he buy something for me and send it to me.I also have no honest friend on internet except him.If you think you are honest and can handle this then from my earning from app you can take 25$ or if you already has play publisher account then its great.

Are you able to get a prepaid debit card (like one of those Visa gift cards or similar) in your country? Don't quote me on this, but I believe you may be able to use one of those (and you won't need a bank account or heck even an ID to buy one). Let me know if that's a viable option for you, as I have a few friends whom are also in similar situations.
Some of you may give me the advice of avoiding Craigslist all together, however as I am a poor college student, there's not much you could say to deter me from risking a little for a cheaper Samsung S3. On Ebay most S3s are 400-550$ while on Craigslist I see quite a few in the 300-400$ range. I understand that deals that are too good to be true are scams, but there are certainly exceptions to the rule. I need your help understanding the tricks of the trade and how to prevent scams. Here are the few that I know and how to prevent them, I ask you as the community to add onto this list:
SCAMS:
Stolen or Unpaid Phone
Agree to meet @ carrier store, ask a CSR to check IMEI and if it's clean to change the phone to your account. Assuming that your partner knows the info to his account, this will ensure that your phone will not be blocked in the future.
Chinese Clone
Download Android System Info check info compare to screenshots found here. Avoid this.
OTHER TIPS
Ask seller to Bring Driver's Licence, & record their name.
Ask seller to bring account information if this phone used to be on the same carrier.
Make a call/ receive a call
Open browser
Check wifi radio
Check GPS
Ensure the touchscreen works in all areas.
Record video to ensure mic, camera works
Ensure the phone shut down and starts up properly
Ask about the warranty*
Test all hardware buttons
Test headset and loudspeaker work

bumping, any advice?
Any thief worth his or her salt is going to have a good fake ID and no problem lying.
Agreeing to meet at T-Mobile support and have them check it out, tell you the details (if phone is under EIP or attached to another account), and make a record on your account is probably your best bet.

Thanks a lot for the reply. If I am using the Tmobile prepaid 30$/month wallmart plan. Is there any way for them to make a note on my account is there? How do I go about this? I see two possibilities:
1) Phone in question is not paid off yet (purchased for discounted price):
If I go in there and they tell me the phone is attached to someone's account, is it still ever reasonable to go through with the trade? Is it possible to break that link somehow with 100% certainty that someone else's lack of responsibility won't come back and bite you in the arse?
2) Phone in question is paid off (purchased for full price):
no problem here, if I have them check it and it looks ok then done deal right? or can it still be reported stolen later and blacklisted despite me checking in with them?
Thanks a bunch.
Just spoke to a t-mobile CSR. Here's how the process works.
A phone can be blocked for 2 reasons and 2 reasons only:
1. A customer has not paid his monthly account bill on a discounted price phone
2. A customer reports a phone stolen within 30 DAYS.
The solution to avoiding getting scammed via either method is to ask the CSR at the store to add the phone to your account. It doesn't matter what plan you're using, as long as the phone is on your account, you are safe. Have the IMEI ready.
