like a month ago i got a pixel 2 xl and went to the wife's project fi plan, now google is not willing to make this $799 credit retroactive even though my wife bought her pixel 3 already and all i would have to do it buy one. google told me i COULD cancel my fi account, start another one under a different gmail address, add that to the wife's and buy a new pixel 3 and i would get the credit. then later merge the two gmail accounts. i don't know if that's a true workaround, sounds a little risky like i might end up with two gmail accounts, a different phone number and never seeing the credit happen. just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this.
i might be trying to cheat their system here but for goodness google themselves told me how to do it

A coworker and I have decided to build an app together, we are certainly not a company and dont plan to be.
But I am the one with the google account so the sales will be attached to me come tax season. Does anyone know how I go about paying my coworker properly and make sure we also both get taxed properly.
Or is there someway to add him to my google account?
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.
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?

I'm leaving Verizon to move to T-Mobile with my prepaid Nexus 4. I have a grandfathered unlimited data package, and am willing to AOL (assumption of liability) it to whoever is interested. The account is outside its contract, and is simply month-to-month with my Galaxy Nexus. Note, you'll need to bring your own LTE device to this account.
I'd rather some one get unlimited data than shut the account down entirely... so email me if interested. I'd prefer dealing with some one in Denver, that way we can just meet up at Verizon and have everything taken care of.

I didn't port my number, just got a new one. Even the Tmobile guy said porting from Verizon doesn't work all of the time. I use Google Voice anyway, so the new number wasn't a problem.
woots.
I know they said it would take up to 6 weeks, but has anyone received their 100 dollar store credit yet? I was worried since they said the credit would only be good until August.
I haven't, but I assumed it would be closer to the end of June based on when I purchased the phone.
Does anyone know credit will be by the buyer or by first activation Google account?

For this promo it goes into the account that was used to purchase the phone on the play store. The promo doesn't have anything to do with activation. It's an unlocked phone so you could activate it anywhere. I also think there was a Google fi Promotion but that is something different.
I still have not received my credit but called last week. They told me it would show up within 6 weeks of the last day of the promotion (not your purchase date).
Wasn't May 18th the last day? It should be available any day.
Purchased mine in mid-May. Not store credit showed up yet.
Going tangent...
What do you guys plan to purchase with store credit? A number of accessory items seems overpriced and first thoughts are these are a waste of store credits.
I'm planning on getting Stadia

I kind of messed up in not reading that fine print. I would have bought it from Fi had I realized and gotten a $100 credit. I was actually hoping to use the hundred to buy a Pixel 4 or 4a with a trade-in on my Pixel 3 I now have. But with the August expiration I believe that's out of the question unless they do an early release or a pre-order. So I guess I'll get a case for my 3 and 3a even though I don't use a case. I'll have to review the ratings on those. I like the fabric case but mixed reviews. Any suggestions out there?
I just checked my store account and my credit is there. I purchased my 3a on the 18th.
Got mine too

Same here. What are you buying? Only 2 months to decide.
Just got mine and I wonder why I didnt get a email or something that told me it was there for use? If there is a time limit to use it,,,its a little suspicious there was no notification for it??
Wow! No notice, no emails nothing. You guys are right. It appeared and it's kind of hard to find.
I was going to use it to purchase the Pixel Buds @ $109 and now they are $159!

Wait then. They'll be reduced again.
They gave us a acer chromebook worth £199 for us in the UK. I got mine a couple days ago with no notification it was coming.
hahaha I got online with google sales support. They started with, "I can help you with that". All they did was tell me that it is not available for $109 and to sign up for emails. Then they said that they will report the fact that there are no notifications.
Yes, received the credit, purchased on launch day in Canada.
I'm waiting for the pixel buds to go on sale.... Somehow I doubt it....
Anyway, what did you guys buy with the $100?
Yes I did and bought the nest hub with it
