Carrier billing for the Austria Play Store

Carrier billing is a popular option in Europe and Asia, where credit and debit cards are less common. It allows customers to purchase apps and content from the Play Store and have the charges added to their regular service bill. This eliminates the need to keep a credit card on file, and some services will also allow account owners to set spending limits to prevent excessive purchases.

In 2014, Google announced that it had expanded its carrier billing option to include more carriers in Austria (3), Australia (Optus), Singapore, Thailand (AIS), and Taiwan. A1 is the first carrier in Austria to support this feature.

To use carrier billing for the Austria Play Store, you must ensure that your account with your carrier is in good standing and that you have not exceeded your carrier's monthly spending limit. Additionally, your device and service plan must allow premium content purchases, and your device must be able to use mobile phone billing. It is important to note that mobile phone billing is only available using the Google Play Store app and not on the Google Play website or a mobile browser. If you use a device with dual SIM cards, put the right SIM card in slot 1 and leave slot 2 empty.

If you are unable to see a carrier billing option, your purchases may not be successfully authorized by your carrier, and you should contact your mobile service provider for assistance.

If you are based in Austria, you can use PayPal to buy apps and digital content on the Google Play Store. To add PayPal as a payment method, you must use a computer or mobile web browser. This is because you cannot link PayPal to your Google Play account using the Play Store app.
