How do you register for three mobile billing?

Nice 1 op. Worked a treat. Also shows the offer in the 'three' app if you have it installed.

Does the credit get added to your balance?

So I could buy a 79p app using my 3 mobile billing, and then they'll credit by mobile bill by £5?

Afraid not - it's "Up to £5". So if you buy a 79p app you will only be credited the 79p back. So best to get something for around £5 to make the most of it.

Any recommendations?

no to

The title could with an "Up to" otherwise its reading as £5 credit (even if you spending pennies)

Thanks. Have updated it.

Will try this, thanks

Thanks OP! Once registered do you have to make a purchase straight away in order to claim your "up to £5" back?

​When I go to add payment option, I can only choose between a card and bank account, don't see anything else. Any ideas? Thanks

See the + sign at the bottom of the page on your right, click it then the option comes and you select from there. Hope it helps.

I've got £14 from Google rewards don't know what to spend it on

Hot from me, never even knew this was a payment option.. I'm bound to buy something in the Xmas and new year sales, so will happily take their credit!

It tells me that I have insufficient credit available and that I have to top up my three account first. I pay by direct debit. I have upgraded my contract last month, I don't know if that's the reason...

I keep thinking there must be a catch here... mhh

I might be dumb but I don't fully understand how to get this deal, I have Three app logged in, I set my Google payment method to Three Billing (BTW that means what ever apps I buy will come out of my Three bill each month right?), but after that I can't seem to see where my £5 sits, I even tried buying an app (didn't actually buy it but got to the furthest checkout page) and it still doesn't show *£5 off*, sorry if I sound like an idiot but i just need some guidance on this haha

Thanks! Just bought MX Player Pro which is £4.30..

I can't see on the website where it says this deal exists!!

​Thanks, I had left the App with more payment settings and the option doesn't appear on the mobile site.

Another question, does this change of payment method change your Direct Debit arrangement? I ask because as it stands I "save" £5 per month with Three by paying by DD...

Also boosts your credit rating doesn't it? Seems a shame to loose all that for the sake for a little bit of Play credit :smirk:

No it does not affect your direct debit arrangement. You will still pay your three bills in the same way as you do now.

All this does is add an additional way of paying for things on Play.

just been through and bought an app. A text came through very shortly after confirming the purchase and that my phone account has been credited back. With the free 4 month google music subscription you also get a discount, which i hadn't realised :smiley:

Thanks OP

Anyone know how to purchase using Carrier Billing if u already have credit in your Play balance more than 5

I Bought Smart launcher pro 3for 1.69, i got it credited back, but i didn't like the app, so got a refund I know i got it fpr free anyway, but still did the refund with Gplay. Can i still make another purchase up to £5 and get that credited back at all, or do you just get 1 purchase?

Will this work with movie rentals from the play store, if I rent a HD movie at £4.49?

How doesit work? I've got £20 on my Google play account as credit from vouchers and rewards. How do I purchase through three?

noticed this today. went for the recently released Bully for £4.99. confirmation came through immediately thanks three

Thumbs up from me.
I bought Minecraft: Pocket Edition for £4.99,
Confirmation from Three came in immediately.
Thanking me for taking part in the promotion and crediting my account with £4.99
Great Deal from Three.

I'll be adding Minecraft pocket Edition to all my Android devices. :smirk:

Cheers Andyg88 :smile:

Awesome Christmas present from 3. I just have to decide what to get now. Ive had my eye on Indigo Prophecy for a while.

Any idea if this could be used for an in app purchase?

Wondering if it would work on iD network (MVNO on 3)?

Damn, I didn't know about this and just bought something with this method that was only 50p! It only works once, right?

This worked perfectly. I ended up buying a TV box set that I'd been looking at for years using the 50% off Google voucher. That knocked it from £21 to £10.50 and then I got a text from 3 to say they had credited me £5 so I only paid £5.50 for it in the end. I'm really happy with that. :smiley:

Bought Minecraft Pocket edition for £4.99. Thanks.

Brilliant, used this in conjunction with the 50% off any movie to own, so managed to get The Jungle Book (2016) for nothing.

Mine declined... can't find an option on Three to enable this too.. any ideas anyone?

Has this expired now? I can't find anything on three website :disappointed:

Check your notifications within the Three app (little bell, top right). I spotted it there, and them came looking here to post the deal (but way too late as usual). It's "targeted" accounts, but valid until 20th of January 2017. I just used mine now to buy a film, which conveniently dropped to £4.99 after I added it my watch list yesterday. Have received a confirmation message from Three thanking me for taking part in the promo and that my account has been credited. Remember to un-tick "apply Google Play balance" (if you have any) before buying.

cool done! i never had the 3 app - not really useful for me as i never get near my limits!

now...looking thru my wishlist for the chosen one :-D

Where did you find this? I think I may have been stung by this.

I believe there may be a spending limit on my account since I kept getting re-directed to 333 when I tried to call 101 the other day (as there is a 15p charge to call the police apparently).

Anyway I bought X-COM for £2.89 or whatever it was, used Three billing (first time using it so had to add the payment option), purchase went through fine and app started to download. However I didn't receive a text.

Checked the Three app and couldn't see anything regarding the payment or the refund.

Contacted live chat, they said contact Google. So instead I called up 333 and had to give the guy the URL for the offer as he had no idea about it. After a brief stint on hold he said he's manually credit my account £5. Got a confirmation text after the call.

Went to check the Three app again to confirm the credit, but it showed as:
Monthly charge £12.00
Extra charges £5.0
Total spend £17.00

:confused: !!!

Gave them another call and the second guy confirmed its on their system as a credit and it will deduct £5 from my next bill. So I guess I will just wait and see what comes through!

Still can't decide on what to buy with mine yet... as others have said, I rarely know what to spend my Rewards credit on :stuck_out_tongue:

Paid MX Player? I'm going to get the pro version of Textra while I'm at, separate transaction. The ads are annoying me now!

Thx a lot, had to call them to removed the cap as online it didn't show. Managed to buy the tinnyScanner Pro I was after for £4.99 and already received a txt message from three saying that's it's been refunded. Thx again

I got the tinnyScanner Pro £4.99

I got the Pro upgrade for "enpass password" . I suggest people get "Join by joaoapps"

Anyone tried doing it using multiple sims. Most my house are running iphones. I now am wondering if I could put their three sim in my android for the purchase. Should work as terms and conditions doesn't specify. Now I would be looking for another app. Perhaps Titanium Backup

Worked for me yesterday. See my above comment.

It Works. Yesterday I popped a second Three contract sim into my phone, resetup the carrier billing and got a second purchase on 3
