Introducing Three Pay

After the demise of PayForIt, Three UK has taken the opportunity to give their Charge to Mobile service a refresh.

What is Three Pay?

 Three Pay is our own take on charge to mobile/carrier billing:

Three Pay lets you buy stuff like games, apps, and digital content on platforms such as Google Play, Epic Games, Microsoft, Spotify, and loads more. The cost is then added to your monthly phone bill or deducted from your Pay As You Go balance. Nothing to remember, nothing to store. Just sit back and enjoy.

Check out their video to learn more: 

What can you use Three Pay for?

Digital services and goods such as parking, charity donations, online games services, quizzes, competitions, music or TV subscriptions or adding credit to an online gambling service.

You can also pay for apps and some subscriptions from Google Play Store and Huawei App Store. Apple app store coming soon.
