Android Market Sale

[Hightower]

Android market has a bit of a sale on today. You can get the full Minecraft app for a measly 10p, as well as some other paid apps.

Adds to your phone bill when you click buy.

Adds to your phone bill when you click buy.

 

Really? I don't think Google has the power to do that? I thought you had to set up a Google shopping account, and it used that when you click buy.

I used a google shopping account to buy Platinum(in game currency) for Pocket Legends

I'm with Vodafone, not bought many apps but seems to get added to my bill... I think.

I'm getting the same thing. Would be much easier if you can add the cost of apps to your phone bill.

my vodafone contract makes me register a credit/debit card with market and then bills me when i purchase something.

 

However, it doesn't bill me every time. If i buy several cheap apps within a couple of hours of each other it lumps them all together, but if i buy a 60p reference app, it doesn't charge me untill i buy something more expensive. so far i have an engineering reference app that cost 65p that i've not been charged for, for 4 months because i haven't bought anything else!

Are the people paying via bill using the 'Android Marketplace' or one provided by their operators? I have 3 appstores on my phone. The Android Marketplace (paid for via google account), Samsung Apps and Orange Apps (neither of which I have purchased from, but assume they might charge via phonebill.
