I think that its far away. Most people can barely check their email on their phone. It seems like a lot can barely check it on their computer.
If the banks/credit card companies get involved with this, they will have nothing to worry about in the future.
I think its a step to get us closer to the tech that the uk and japan have plus it could help shops because with the charges that visa and mastercard make places pay when u swipe ur credit or debit cards since our gov won't regulate them

Cellular south tried that a few year ago. I was lucky enough to demo a unit for them. They gave me a limit each month for a few months then I had to feel out a survey. With their phone it was like a prepaid account, you would add money to it and could only spend what you had in the account. Evidently it didnt go to well, cause they dont offer it, But I kinda liked it.
Could someone in the USofA that purchased a Note from overseas tell me if your Credit Card company charged a foreign exchange fee? What was the percentage? I want to buy a Note but need to understand the actual total cost involved better.
Thanks to all :-D

Exchange fees vary widely from card to card, I would check with your bank.

It will depend on the credit card. On average the banks charge around 3% foreign exchange fee on top of the 1% MasterCard and VISA charges. There are some cards like the Chase Sapphire and Citi ThankYou Premier which have no fee but I believe you still pay the 1% from VISA and MasterCard. Capital One is one of the only creditors that offers 0% fees as well as they absorb the 1% VISA and MasterCard fee. I used my Sony Card from Capital One to place an order at Handtec and it saved me around $25 USD over PayPal.
American Express does not charge for international transactions, I use it all the times.

I'm pretty sure they do unless your using a specific card like the AMEX Platinum and Centurion cards which have fairly high annual fees. I called the other day about my Blue Cash card to see about using it for the purchase and customer service told me there was a 2.7% foreign transaction fee.
Hi,
I'm 18, and I'm looking to purchase the Nexus 4, but I do not have a credit card. I don't want to ask my parents for their credit card so I was wondering whether or not I can purchase the phone using the Play Store gift cards?
-Thanks
Hey why don't you use a prepaid visa or MasterCard.If you wondering how a prepaid credit card work and how to get one you can pm me and I will tell you what you need to do. Take care!!!

lol go buy $350 worth of Google credit!! Never heard of anyone doing that before!
From the google play gift card site:
"*Google Play gift cards cannot be redeemed for Android app subscriptions, magazine subscriptions, or hardware and accessory purchases. Refer to the Google Play Gift Card Terms and Conditions for more details. Content subject to availability by country."
You could go the prepaid visa or master-card route.
Better advice is for you to go to a bank or credit union and open a savings and a checking account. Get a debit card off your checking account and you can buy the phone with that. Look into a secured credit card as a possible way to build credit, at 18 you most likely have no credit history.
^ Yeah, Checkings and Savings accounts can be setup quickly. I opened up an account at Wells Fargo in 15-20 minutes with an employee and having a debit card is really nice for Amazon, Paypal, Google Play, and other online services. I'm 19.
Just give your parents cash and use their card. Or open a bank account.

Buy a green dot card at walmart. Most banks also offer something similar, a prepaid debit card to be used as a universal gift card. You could give your parents the money and have them buy the card from their bank for you. Or just set up a bank account, they're damn near necessary now days.

Are you guys sure it'll work with a prepaid credit card? Aren't they considered a "virtual credit card" as well?
Google said:
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.

Thanks for the replies, I'll stop by Wells Fargo or CitiBank today.
Didn't see that bit. I'm going to guess that no they are not considered virtual credit cards. One of my banks does the virtual credit card, the way it works is if your about to make a purchase from a merchant you don't trust you can generate a one time use credit card number that only allows the amount you specify. They typically expire in 24hrs.

Hey guys, since the Nexus 7 is my first "tablet", I'm curious how I can handle things...
So, to get to the point, without a CC, I'm not able to buy stuff on the play store. (Since I don't have one and the Gift cards aren't present, too)
So I'm curious, I have the 3G model, so could I buy apps with carrier billing (like I do it on my phone) or isn't this part of the 3G tablet thingy..?? (I don't have a Sim card for my tablet.. Yet)
Also, there are apps with IAP, for example, a file manager, which contains the "pro" version via the app.. (But is not shown in the play store as a stand alone app)
If I buy it with my phone, am I able to install the "pro" version on my tablet, too?
These things are quite confusing when it comes to tablets...
I hope this wasn't asked before, if so, please guide me to the right direction... Since Google gives me weird hacking sites as results..
Thanks in advance and happy easter!
P.S.: Or can I add my phone number and billing information to my Googleaccount, so the "buy via carrier" will always appear like it does with CC's?

You need a credit card to purchase from the Play Store, no other way around unless someone sends you money to your Wallet account.
You can install purchased apps on other devices if you login to the Gmail account that holds the purchases.

Try a prepaid credit card or a visa gift card! Remember they do charge monthly fees.

I will, since I know now that there's no "normal" way, thanks.
Also saw I posted in General instead of Q&A, I'm sorry and if any mod can move my thread I'd be thankful

whatever you buy on your phone will be available on your tablet (as long as the nexus 7 is supported by the app).
So, if you need to purchase something, buy it on your phone and then download it on your tablet. Simple as that.

I was a bit confused with this IAP, for example the file manager I wanted to buy does this in app purchase. And I thought I have to rebuy it when I download it on my tablet.. Since it's not a stand alone app :/

I use debit credit on Google play, sort of a new debit card that is set up with a visa card # & pin. No credit needed, it just takes money right out of your chequeing account.
Ask your bank about it.
Try coolapk, as a leecher or else use debt card

If game is from gameloft you can buy it on gameloft.com and pay with paypal
Thy started selling Google play gift cards.
Other than that, prepaid visa is the best thing, its also useful for amazon, PayPal... I got mine for free (I'm from Slovenia), no fees whatsoever, except if I wanted to withdraw money from the cash machine. It was a promotional offer, so look out for those.
Be aware of those 'prepaid visa gift cards', they cost way more then they should. For every purchase they could charge you a dollar or something, which is a lot when you're buying a 75c app.
Or you can ask your parents or some other relative to lend you their cc. I borrowed my dads until I got my own prepaid visa.
Oh, why would you buy a file manager, you can get so many of good ones for free like ES for example.

Couldn't you just buy a Play Gift Card from a local store?
Thats basically a pre-paid credit card anyway?
Or just buy a pre-paid credit card?
AW: [Q] Nexus 7 & App Purchases without credit card..
The G Play gift cards aren't available in my country atm..
I think I'll have to talk to my bank and make them an offer they can't refuse
Thanks to all for the answers
