I have a question about the Telstra $30 packs and Google store credit as I never owned a android phone before.

firstly i own an iPhone 6 plus and there is this game I play but as you know $100 USD ITunes credit is $160 Aud even after 20% off at OW after it comes to $130.

But if what I think is right is it true that you can convert or whatever Telstra $30 packs which are half price $15, to google store $30 credit? If this is the case I want to purchase a new android phone just for this game as it comes out cheaper assuming I would have to buy 3x$30 packs after discount which is $45. I make many IAP purchase which are $100 USD can the packs get stacked up to $160 to make a single purchase? If all ads up correctly I would be saving $50 on using the android method, Cheers.

    and each stacking up is cost $, correct? https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/General-Mobiles/Credi…

    also im confuse as the article says from post paid to pre paid.
    can i transfer from pre paid to pre paid?
    so i activate 2 starter pack and transfer $30 less fee to the other?

        @eisniwre:

        yes, I had a few activated prepaid sims once that I transferred all the credit to a long life sim. It was when I tried to make an iap of over $100 is when a rep on live chat told me the limit is $100.

        You make have to ask them to increase the limit. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2513444#r51036238

        If you want to continue use the credit/data on the throwaway prepaid sims I'm pretty sure you have to leave at least 25c on it

  and be careful, apple store and google store are DIFFERENT even the game is the SAME and your login is the SAME.
  so, SOMETIMES, if you buy stuffs using android phone at google store, you wont see those when you login in to your iphone.

  if you just tell us what the game is maybe someone can confirm.

  for example on FFBE, the characters, gil, weapon etc WILL carry over, but the lapis IS NOT.
  the solution is to buy lapis at google store using android phone then convert that lapis into characters on android phone so they will shows up on iphone.

  Smaller purchases are fine, so the largest amount is $100 Aud? So I can combine the $30 credit and make it to $120 and purchase $100 aud? I'm playing FWT.
