[Q] Using google play music without a credit card - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I wanted to use the service but because I'm 18< so I can not get a credit card. Can we use the service without the credit card?

No, a credit card is required.

You got your answer and now you just make yourself sound like a young kid. Those are the rules, Google put them there for a reason, so either ask your parents or wait until you are 18.

You could try buying Google Play gift cards from a retail outlet. The cards may or may not work with the service in question, as I have no experience using Google Play music.

well that's a bummer wanted to try this also

Just wanted to mention that you can use a prepaid credit card available at most gas stations and truck stops to fulfill the "Credit Card" requirement. I have a Visa Vanilla Gift Card I got for my birthday with I think $25 (you buy it for like $26) that I used to avtivate my account. The nice part about this is even if Google were to start hitting you with secret fees, you're out $20-25 tops.

That won't work. They require a credit card not as a payment method but to prove your address (due to music rights being dependent on which country you are in).

Heres my question why don't they just ask you what country you live in? Or use you ip address. I don't understand why they force you to give them you credit card.

As Simon says, anyone could lie about what country they are in, and ip addresses are easy to fake using a proxy.

How to get Launcherpro plus free?

Hi everyone, i really like the launcherpro app and i want to get the paid version. However, I'm only a student, thus i don't have a credit card/paypal account. Can anyone help me with it? Thanks a million!

there's free alternatives to the widgets you get on LP plus. Colorize Widgets, agenda widget, big faces. the only thing you'd be missing is resizing widgets..
don't steal apps
Agreed.
Don't steal.
Developers will just stop developing and then we'll all have to switch to iPhones........ *shudder*

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse. My 15 year old son has a debit card (and sometimes buys apps). If nothing else (and there are tons of ways to get a debit card), you could get a gift card and use it to buy apps. If you feel you must steal apps that cost less than $10, then you have more problems than just not having a credit card.

I disagree. The LP dev is stupid to only allow paypal payments. I would have purchased it a long time ago if it wasn't paypal only.
I am NOT supporting warez here. Just my $.02 on the paypal only thing. I believe LPP would be used more if it didn't require paypal. At the point that a dev is circumventing the market, whats the market for?

whoa whoa whoa.. speaking out of turn here. Not all devs live in places where they are allowed to use google checkout, or to put paid apps in the market.
Don't call the guy stupid just because of where he lives. His country (Uruguay if memory serves) makes it impossible for him to use the market for a paid app. Paypal is his only viable option.
And pirating any apps is completely pathetic, but of course, it will happen. I wish I didn't see it in forums and threads on sites where developers and consumers so regularly go to support android. But, stupidity will be stupidity...
Furthermore, I'm a little confused by the way the author gets apps from the market. you can't bill to carrier, you have to use a credit card (unless you're on ATT, and even then, a month ago you couldn't). Does your mom buy all your apps? If that's the case, they why can't she buy you this one?
With T-Mobile you can charge your account as well! To be honest OP pay for the app!!! Support the developer!! Borrow a friends card! But don't take the slimy way out and look for a free pass! What if the shoes was on the other foot??

Maybe the author doesn't normally buy paid stuff. I have been on Android for years, and I have only purchased ONE app. I have donated to a few devs that make roms, but I typically don't buy apps. I WAS going to purchase LPP, but once I found out I have to deal with paypal, I quit. It's not worth it for me to go through transferring money to paypal, (3 days) and then making a payment to LPP, only to wait until the paypal payment has been recieved (another day or two) just to get a $2.99 home replacement.

Visa. MasterCard. Go to just about any bank, grocery store, or variety store and purchase one. With PayPal, you don't even need a CC. Just open a checking account.
BTW - I agree paying with PayPal is not the best option. I had a bad experience with an app and I will never do that way again. However, I still will not steal the app.

Umm you don't have to actually pay with your PayPal account, they just do the processing, you can pay with whatever credit/debit card you want. I don't even have a PayPal account and I bought the app just fine using my debit card.
PayPal can be used, can't it? I think these developers work extremely hard and it's difficult, even being broke, to use their fantastic programs and not compensate them for their time and effort.
Think of the position you're in... if your valuable time and hard work went without reward and you got no return on your investment, you'd be upset as well. It's just a couple of bucks here and there. You can EASILY find these on Google but please, don't do it, man.
I'm all for warez when someone is just going to be used once or if I'm uncertain if I'm going to pay full price for something. But if something is honestly worth the money, even my cheap ass will buy it. This world is ****ty enough. Don't go ripping off developers.

I do this sometimes but if the app is not in usd, your forbidden to charge it to your tmobile acct.
I would like to pay for apps, but when I try pay in the market it tells me to put credit card details in and won't accept my debit card. Anyone know how to solve this?

[Q] Question regarding amazon prime

So to start off, on wednesday of this previous week I lost my debit card (what horrible timing!) . I plan on buying the transformer online via amazon prime. Like my new debit card hasn't arrived, can I use someone else card with different name, address, etc to compete my purchase? Thanks!

Yes, you can use any payment method you want so long as the account has amazon prime active. This includes a differently named/addressed/even issuer, of credit/debit card.

yup yup, I've used my wife's card on several occasions
Cool cool glad to hear!
One caveat though is that you'll need to make sure that the shipping address is authorized for the card. That could mean either shipping to the card holder's address, or their calling the credit card company and adding your address as an authorized shipping address. This is generally true for all credit card purchases, note, and not specific to Amazon Prime.

Android Market

Ok, so the problem I'm having is that EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to buy an app that's not in the USA, my bank blocks the transaction because it's foreign. As the majority of the apps I'm interested in are European, this presents a MAJOR problem. Why is it so hard to buy apps, and why hasn't Google thought of a solution to this by now? On the ios appstore, I've never had a transaction blocked even once.
Is there a solution to this? Apparently my bank isn't willing to do some sort of "If it's under $10, we'll allow the transaction regardless" agreement. -_-

The problem is with your bank, get foreign transactions authorised.
until you get the problem sorted why not use applanet? Then when the problem is sorted you can just buy them from the market

He is right...and it is a very simple phone call to your bank. When I say simple, I mean a maze of queues that never end and when you finally get to talk to a real human, they need to transfer you. But once you get to the right person, simple.

Well, they have "traveling mode", but that just unblocks everything and basically opens you up to all sorts of fraud.
Two things seem extremely stupid to me:
1) Google doesn't centralize payments -- this would eliminate the problem altogether. Apple does this, so Google should be able to as well. It's not like this is a 3rd-party market.
2) My bank doesn't have some sort of "under $5" note that they can put on my account to allow any small-amount foreign transactions with no problem. If I had to travel and didn't have time to notify my bank, I'd be completely screwed whenever I got to my destination.

I can find loads of posts relating to restrictions on apple's appstore, where people aren't actually able to buy apps from other countries, even if they're both in Europe.
Don't you have fraud protection?
If I noticed that there was a dubious transaction on my account I'm able to call the bank and have them investigate.
Chances are they'll phone me up regarding it as soon as it happens (had that the first time I bought a € app from the appstore), and if it's fraud and I hadn't been irresponsible with my pin number, they'll refund the money.
What about using prepay CC ?
I can get prepay CC $10,$20,.... etc. at my PostOffice and use that.

If your carrier supports carrier-billing, you can do that. You can also get an American Express of Visa gift card or prepaid card. Also if you use Google Wallet you can fill your virtual Google card with funds from an actual card.
Thanks, may close the thread.

I can add any credit card to my google account using either PC or phone, and make online purchases with google pay. I just can't enable in-store purchases, so I can't make purchases with NFC turned on. Tried it on my old Honor 8 and had no problem.

Pretty sure it's not a compatible device, because so far all Note 10s are China based roms. Unless we see a global rom release it'll most probably stay not working for NFC payments.
Doesn't work in Australia either.
Wondering if anyone could try the unlock-cn-gms module in magisk and report back.

Hi guys, same story here, 'cannot add this card right now' later I think I broke something, cause I started getting an error
Anyhow, phoned the bank, they don't know, contacted 'the source' then.
This is straight from Google Support's mouth:
'We are aware of this specific issue with the Huawei phones, there is a fix on which both Huawei and Google are working and this would be soon resolved. You can be rest assured that nothing's wrong either with your phone or with Google Services.'
Oh great, hope this gets sorted soon. I miss paying for stuff with the phone.
Got this from wonda mobile
Hi,
