Vodacom billing for google play store

badtrev said:
That worked with Vodacom with absolutely no issues, but on the Play store, I don't even have the option to select Vodacom as a payment method. Only credit card and redeem voucher.

Ok so I tried to switch from card billing back to carrier billing (in Deezer), that option is nowhere to be found now :(

It gets deducted from your airtime balance.

Miz pimp which vodacom number did u call to log a complaint? I am having the same problem. At first it said not eligible. Then i removed it but it does not give me the option to add vodacom as the bill carrier again.

Apologies for only responding now. I logged a fault on Twitter. I've been told it's an issue with Google as well, and also that they've checked everything on their side, and there is nothing blocking the billing, but they're still looking into it, as far as I am aware.

Yes, there is no option to add carrier billing anymore, as many people have tried, and the option just isn't there. I have also sent Google an email, but I will most likely not get a response.

It doesn't make sense that it's a Google issue, when Google has been adding more carriers for billing, globally. I just hope the more people complain, the quicker it can be resolved.

It's definitely NOT a Google problem. I have called Google in the US last week and spoke to them for a hour while they did all the checks, and they guaranteed me that the problem lies with Vodacom. When I talk to Vodacom all they say is they will investigate it...

Vodacom has only worked for 1 day each week for the last 3 weeks. I test it everyday.

BTW: Telkom Mobile still works 100% to buy off the play store using airtime.

Yeah, that's exactly my point. I just want it fixed so that I can make in-app purchases again, lol!

If the Vodacom carrier billing works, would I be able to purchase in game currency using my existing airtime? or would it get added to my month end bill?

My purchases took from my airtime (flexi 200).
I assume if you are on a post-paid option it would bill.
 
Maybe Vodacom just wants you to pay R600 per month for your contract with airtime, but not being able to use that airtime for anything other than calls, SMS and data bundles. Bottom line up! That would be a huge surprise....:whistle:
 
But while we are waiting for a solution from Vodacom :erm: what are the best apps you can use carrier billing for? I've got loads of airtime and nothing to do with it!
 
You have to catch the day when Vodacom billing is working.
 
Guys Vodacom just started to work again! :)

So if you want to buy from the Play Store do so now.... It usually only lasts for about 1 day and then its broken again for another week... seriously super service from Vodacom. (At least reliably broken lol).
