Default Paid Apps

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this question has been raised before so please bear with me coz I'm kind of new to this forum.

My question is: Is there a way to buy apps from the android store if you don't have a credit card?

Please reply as I'm really a noob in this kind of things

I dont think so.
Maybe you can do Paypal, but I'm not even sure you can do that.

Paypal is coming, from what I've heard, but right now it's credit card or nothing.

I have bought from them using a debit card! Is it different for the US?

Debit cards act like credit cards, mine is actually a debit card with the Mastercard logo on it.

Except you can't buy things if there is not enough money on your debit card

Think of it as bringing a cheque along, except your cheque is processes instantly.

Yes, just get a prepaid Visa gift card (they sell them at places like grocery stores, maybe 7-11) and use that the same way you would use a credit card. That's what I did, and it worked well.

Why would you buy something if you don't have the money to pay for it?

Root your phone and then use MarketAcces if you want to buy.
