Can you use your Telstra Post-Paid Credit to purchase games/movies/books/etc from Google Play?

Ok guys I have searched the web and called telstra extensively to find out 1 simple question of which I can't find a definite concrete evidence (telstra staff had no idea about Billing to Carrier from Google Play).

  • So I'm on a 59 freedom Plan which gives me $550 a month for calls and sms.
  • I know you can use your pre-paid ones
  • But can you use your Post-Paid $550 credit to buy movies and whatnot from Google?

Cheers in advance!! I never use more than $300 or so worth of calls and stuff so I always feel like I'm wasting money.

  • LOL then 30 seconds later I find this:

    For Post-Paid customers a monthly limit of $100 applies for app and content purchases charged to their Telstra bill. This limit can be adjusted by calling Telstra on 125 111.

    Hope someone can find this useful!

  • If you're on a $59 plan, I'm pretty sure you can only buy $59 worth(not $550) of apps/music/movies if you don't use any call credit or data.

  • +1

    But the $59 is your standard monthly fee, whatever you buy from Google Play will be charged on top of that.

    TL;DR - No

  • The answer is no. Any purchases made on a post paid plan are added to your bill.

    EDIT Oops, I see that's already been mentioned by uggugg

  • This is why i LOVE telstra prepaid, as you use the recharge credit on apps (and bonus packs) in the marketplace… Another reason to go T$ PREPAID where its on top of your monthly bill…
