How do you buy apps?

[Synaesthesia]

Pardon for the noobish question, I just got a WP7 phone, loving it. Now I wanna buy some apps. Is there a way to do it without a credit card? Do I buy XBox Live points? I notice all prices in the Marketplace are still in GBP despite setting my location to South Africa in settings.

Thanks for all help and advice in advance!

Your Live account needs to be a south african account too. And the only way is to use a credit card at present.
In other countries you can use your airtime to buy apps, but our SP's suck.
