Can't use direct carrier billing?

Hey guys,
I used to be able to bill my att account directly when I bought apps on my atrix, but ever since upgrading to the One X, I'm unable to do so anymore.
Calling tech support got me nowhere, they had no idea how to fix it.
Is anyone else having this issue? How'd you fix it?
Thanks!

I believe At&t has stopped offering that now the only way to do so is by credit card

My girlfriend has an Infuse, and carrier billing works just fine for her, she just bought an app too.

It doesn't seem to work with the newest market update either.

Clearing data did nothing, and att knows nothing at all either...

Direct Carrier Billing
I was wondering if anyone who was previously unable to purchase apps with direct carrier billing are now able to and if they can share what they did. I have an AT&T HTC One X and I also don't see the ability to purchase apps with direct carrier billing. I have read in a few different forums that users with AT&T/Rogers version of the HTC One X are having similar problems but users of the international edition might not have the same problem.
I have carrier unlocked my phone and would really like to use the remaining $60 in my T-Mobile prepaid account to purchase apps instead of it going to waste, and direct carrier billing seems to be my only option. Thanks ahead of time.

By going into App management and force-stopping Google Play and then uninstalling the updates, I was able to access the AT&T bill to carrier option when purchasing an app. I am still trying to get this to work with T-Mobile but I might need to switch plans or buy a day's access to mobile data for it to work.
Does anyone have any experience purchasing apps with carrier billing using a T-Mobile prepaid account?

Just tried that, carrier billing still doesn't show up for me, unfortunately.

Are any of you still on stock saying its not working? It worked for me on stock but doesn't on the Asia one.

Mine still doesn't work..

I've called HTC, att, and posted here, nothing works.
Even before I rooted my phone, the option wasn't there.
There's no purchase block on my account either ...

are you on ATT?
What version play store are you on?

I am on AT&T and using Cleanrom 3.1 LE it shows up for me, but I haven't tried actually using it.
It didn't show up for me on several other ROMs though

When I called them, they said it was a device-specific feature and it wasn't supported on the HOX. Maybe they have a random answer generator!

This is utter horse ****.
My first One X was able to do direct billing (and I've confirmed this with a purchase of Titanium Backup Pro in my Google Wallet, which states: May 10
Titanium Track charged your AT&T Mobility USA *number deleted* for $6.58. "GOOGLE *Titanium Track" will appear on your billing statement.") Then my dog decided to knock my phone out of my hand, so I got a replacement.
My new One X will NOT let me bill att. This is some shifty, sideway, backwards, secret-handshaking BS.
I'm on 1.85 with GP version 3.7.13... I'm betting it has something to do with the 1.85 update.

Google wallet

So we have NFC and it is enabled. I know it is AT&T blocking us from using Google wallet but technically it should work hardware wise. What I am wondering is if there is a way to make it work...I keep going back to when google blocked the Google videos app on rooted phones, but with a little modification to the apk we were able to unblock it and use that app. Is there any way that we could do something like that for Google wallet then just side load the modified apk?

There's been multiple threads on Google Wallet, all of them say this doesn't work. If you even read through the link you just posted, I even posted in that thread saying it doesn't work on the AT&T One X.

Did you receive a survey invite from Smithgeiger about your OneS?

I just finished doing a satisfaction survey about my One S. It asks how you like it, what made you buy it and things you don't like about it. I made it pretty clear I wasn't satisfied with this phone the way it is now. The bloatware, the signal problems, the gps jumping all over the place and the wifi/4g bug after the newest update.
After I was done with the survey I qulified for a moderated forum, I must attend the forum for 3 days straight, twice a day for a total of 30-60 minutes. I will receive a $50 voucher once completed, the forum will be announced at a future date.
DO THE SURVEY, LET THEM KNOW WE DON'T WANT THE BLOATWARE AND THAT THE UPDATE SCREWED THE PHONE UP.

I got that survey also. And I let them know about all the bloat as well
Sent from my HTC One S

Same here, and let loose with both guns about the bloatware, and how I feel about their capping data, but also installing apps that can't be disabled that use data.
At the end I was told I qualified for a follow up study I would be paid $50 to complete. Anyone else get that? I haven't been sent the info on the study yet, though.

You have to get a personal invite via email. I found mine sitting in my spam box yesterday. I complained about everything except I forgot about them removing free tethering. I too took up the invite for the $50 followup.

I got this too. Before even visiting xda. I answered it all and mentioned the bloatware and sensitive screen and battery size. (Not that I have battery issues but still) I also went for the $50 offer still waiting on the confirmation email.
Sent from my HTC one sex

Me too. Waiting for the other thing to start. The ota had my phone performing worse on quadrant. And yesterday I got that bug where the phone had no signal while on gps.

Still nothing about the followup. Anyone get their info yet? I want my $50
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

I haven't. Sure was nice of them to get our hopes up. Of course, I haven't gotten my $50 rebate or the $100 for trading in my Shadow II yet either. I'm about ready to try the GS3 (maybe it will actually do some things properly) so add all my One S accessories to the list, and this has turned into a very expensive lesson (along the lines of: The HD2 must be the exception, cause HTC + Tmobile = Fail).

Nope. Me neither. I gave them a call and i was told if i don't receive by the end of the month(steadily approaching) to call back and they will get it situated. Other than that. No help. Seemed like they didn't even have access to any basic information.

I went with the gs3 after waiting these 2-3 months without s-off on the one S. No regrets. The gs3 is just a much better device with more dev support. I don't blame the device just as you said the Htc+Tmobile combo = fail

On clean ROM 4.1 SE. Radio is 2.09. I don't really care how it happened, just glad I got it. Was one of the deciding factors in choosing this phone as I love cloud storage, as I love flashing roms , makes it nice to know I can format my sd card every flash to avoid data problems on different roms, without losing photos or other important files. Hell I've got drive too. So I've managed to get myself over thirty gigs of space for free.
Edit: and if and when apple opens its icloud up to android(doubtful) I have twenty gigs there.

I am on the same rom. Try flashing the default button mod, uninstall dropbox, then reinstall.

I am pretty sure Dropbox is determined to avoid giving me the free space. I only have 6 GB through them otherwise. I have been considering paying, but I know the instant I do...

On their website it says ATT and Verizon are no longer participating in the 25gb upgrade. Kinda sucks, wish there was a work around to get the space.

Has anyone made this switch? Please tell me there are no GPS issues as that is a big reason I'm leaving Sammy. Well, that and being too big.
The one I'm getting has 2.20 but I guess that's just a temporary set back. Looking forward to AOSP eventually on the HOX!

I myself moved from the note just over 2 weeks ago. Honestly, i do miss the big screen and sd slot, but other than that, i like this phone too much. The screen is crazy sharp and bright. Also the phone is very compact for the screen size. Battery life is also pretty decent.

I moved from a international note I picked up on launch to my att one xl, could not be happier. Miss the better rom support but I'm over amoled, like iphones and facepage.

Crap. Didn't think about the Sim cards, are they the same size? I'm swapping with someone else.

Yep. Just called AT&T. However we can call in and have the sim cards reassigned so no big deal. Either that or buy a new one for $25. Obviously the first option is much better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

Just cut your sim card to the right size of a micro sim. I've done that before and it worked fine.
I've also come from a Note before this and am very happy with the switch to the HOX. It sucks your on 2.20 tho. It doesn't look like there's gonna be a root for it anytime soon and even if there is you may not be able to unlock the bootloader. I suggest trying to find a HOX with a lower fw. I actually have one that I'm trying to sell.

Sim cards are free... I went in and got a micro sim from att and then when I got home (phone was waiting on my doorstep), put the sim in, called 611, and activated it! Easy peasy.

Even tho that may be true, if I were you, I wouldn't switch. I think the roms are better here. There was always noticable lag with the snapdragon s3 when I had the Note. Also, the community wasn't pleasant at all. You think there's flaming in the hox community? Wait until you get a Note. Although, things could have changed. I haven't had the Note since May. Just wait and grab the Note 2.

I wonder what my HOX will be worth once the note 2 rolls out. I don't think it can get much worse than the recent price drop. I'll probably just give this to my mom on some stable sense rom she hates her iPhone for some reason good advice sir!

So far so good except I can't get swype or amazon app store functioning. Foot whatever reason I can't sign in to either...
