Australia's leading telco, Telstra, have just announced that they have a new way that customers can purchase Google Play store content on their Android-based devices, including apps, games, movies, magazines and books.
Starting today, Telstra customers can now purchase Google Play content and charge it to their mobile phone bills at a value of up to $20 per transaction, with a monthly limit of $100. This $100 monthly limit can be changed, so you're not locked in - it just requires a quick phone call to Telstra. The new way of purchasing content is also available to pre-paid customers, too - they just need the credit on their accounts.
Telstra have teamed up with Google for the launch of this new service, where they've offered a heap of games and apps at half price! This promotion runs until December 25 and includes:
- HD Widgets
- SoundHound ∞
- Smart Tools
- Ocean HD
- World of Goo
- Star Chart
- SwiftKey 3 Keyboard : Phone, Tablet
- Paper Camera
- Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro
- Mini Motor Racing
- Sketchbook Mobile
To enable the purchase using your Telstra Mobile bill, Customers simply:
- Choose the app, book, magazine, movie or game they'd like to purchase.
- Click 'Accept and Buy'.
- Select 'Bill my Telstra account'.
- Click 'Accept and Buy'.
I've been waiting for something like this for oh-so-long, and it just so happens I'm both an Australian resident, and a Telstra customer - so yay.
