How to purchase apps on Google Play using your Globe prepaid credits

Globe Telecom rolled out a new feature called Direct Carrier Billing that allows its subscribers to directly purchase from the Google Play Store and charge it to the customer’s postpaid account or prepaid load. If you still haven’t tried it out using prepaid, here’s how to do it.

  1. Go to Google Play Store and find the app you want to purchase. Tap on the price then tap on Enable Globe Telecom billing.

  1. It will then ask you to enter your billing info which includes your prepaid number, name and address (complete name and address not necessary). Once filled out just tap Save then Accept.

  1. After confirming your billing info Google Play will then ask for your Google password. Just type it in then tap on Confirm.

Congratulations! You have successfully purchased an app from the Google Play Store using your prepaid credits. You can also do this for in-app purchases. Google Play will then send you a text message and an e-mail that will serve as proof of purchase.

Important notes:

  • Google Play will give you a 2-hour free trial period to decide if you want to keep your purchase or be refunded.
  • Refund after the 2-hour free trial period will be processed within 7 days.
  • No refund for in-app purchases.

We also monitored how much the whole transaction will cost us by doing a balance check before and after the purchase. The Fragment app by Pixite LLC costs Php87.20 but deducted Php97.66 from our prepaid load. That’s Php10.46 on top of the app’s asking price.

    i loaded 280 pesos in a game and iwant to purchase a 249 pesos worth of gold ,but after i put my password it always says “payment unsuccessful”, tapos “this payment is declined”. Kainis kahit may sapat kang load. Seenzoned kapa sa GLOBE kapag you have concerns to them. Yung carriers ang problema. Nakain pa load ko dahil sa.sistema nila.

    There’s 10.46 on top of your Google purchase because of 12% effin VAT.

    YES GOOGLE FUNCTION IS WORKING…. BUT!…. WHEN YOU CLICK THE “PURCHASE” in GOOGLE PLAY THE SMART COMMUNICATIONS WILL DENY THAT YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FUCKING LOAD IN PURCHASING APPS OR GEMS!!! SO ITS A COMPLETE FAKE!!! THEY JUST WANT YOU GUY’S LOAD LOAD LOAD SO THAT THEY CAN EARN BIG MONEY OUT OF YOU GAMERS BUT SERVICES ARE ALL FAILED!! EVEN THE SMART COMMUNICATIONS TECHNICAL SUPPORT CANNOT SOLVED THIS PROBLEM! OUR MEMBERS OF COC CLAN CALLED SEVERAL TIMES, AND YOU KNOW WHATS THE ANSWER “THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT ARE STILL HAVING A ONGOING SOLVING THIS ISSUE” AND BASED FROM OUR EXPERIENCE IT TAKES WEEKS!!!! AND UNTIL NOW ITS STILL HANGING!! I HOPE THAT THEY GET FIRED FROM NOT SOLVING THIS KIND OF ISSUE!

    HEY SMARTCOM, BETTER GET A GROUP OF I.T. PROFESSIONALS TECHNICAL SUPPORT THAT REALLY DO THEIR JOB IN YOUR BUSINESS! OR MANY OF OUR PLAYERS IN COC CLANS, I MEAN MEMBERS OF CLANS AROUND OUR COUNTRY WILL DEFINITELY TRANSFER TO OTHER COMPANIES OF TELCOM THAT THEIR SERVICES REALLY WORKS!

    I tried using this initially with my gmail account without the g+ account and the option to pay via Globe billing didn’t show. I switched to my other gmail account with a google+ account and the Globe billing option became available.

    Is the Google+ account a requirement for this service?

  13. Avatar for Brit Brit says:

    Ba’t hindi po lalabas ang “enable bill carrier payment” method sa akin? Sini-sync ko na yung TM number ko sa gmail ko at bagong version na ang google play store sa akin. Ba’t ganito parin?

    Tanong lang guys.

    Postpaid subscriber ako sa Globe. Pag ginawa ko tong method na to, will it add up to my bill right away o ibabawas muna yung natitira kong PV/consumable peso value? In short pwede ba ipambili yung Comsumable peso value dito?

    • Avatar for M M says:

      Postpaid din ako and di ko pa nakikita yung billing nila sa mga purchases ko from two months ago.

      Natry mo na ba?

    Been trying for the past hour but all I’ve been getting when trying to register the billing address is just the space for the zip code, and it keeps saying “invalid”.

    No option to put in my actual address. Really frustrating.

    And yes I’ve actually tried scrolling up and down the window.

    Sayang yung 12% vat. Kung ako sa inyo gcash na lang via virtual amex. walang bawas yun. kahit prepaid card, pwede load-an. nagloload ako ng 500 per sweldo via bdo online transfer and no hassle. pwede kahit tig100 lang iload.

    • Avatar for stupidpeoplehater stupidpeoplehater says:

      of course using your credit card is an option when purchasing apps. but the article is about “How to purchase apps on Google Play using your Globe prepaid credits” right? or are you just too kupal to put your comments into context?

      wag kang pabida.

    • Avatar for Justin Justin says:

      @stupidpeoplehater: Paano naman ako naging “pabida/kupal”? Maraming nag-cocomment na nahihirapan sila with using Globe prepaid credits, that’s why I gave them another option to pay.

      Ikaw, brad, may na-contribute ka ba? Wala. Instead, bashing ka kaagad (sa akin). Sino ngayon ang “pabida” at “kupal”? Deushe!

      Ok na sana eh kaso”Deushe”. Haha

    • Avatar for JustSaying JustSaying says:

      Mostly naman ang magttry gumamit nito ay yung mga walang credit card. Katulad ko, estduyante lang ako at di ako pinapahiram ng credit card ng ate ko. Ayoko naman ng palaging nag pa-pirate ng app. Siyempre maganda ring suportahan yung mga developer na magaling naman talaga. :)

      Thank you Justin a.k.a. Captain Obvious for your very obvious tip para sa mga nahihirapan gumamit nito. Oo nga noh, bat di namin naisip na gamitin credit card namen?

    • Avatar for OpinionGuy OpinionGuy says:

      how come dual sim interfere the transaction? as long you got your right # inputed on your google account I think It’ll do fine, the 2nd one might be the problem I guess. I’m not sure since I’m not planning to buy any product in google playstore since it’s pretty limited in terms of app selection.

  46. Avatar for Robrob Robrob says:

    That’s 12% more than the actual cost, probably VAT. They also forgot to embed it on the purchase you show on your screenshot. Will the Globe and Google fix this?
