Buy-Apps-Games-Google-Play-Globe-Prepaid-Postpaid

Globe introduced a feature that let their users legally buy any content from the Google Play Store (Apps, Books, Music, etc.) as well as making in-app purchases. All transactions will be credited to the customer’s prepaid/postpaid accounts. The total amount of purchased Play Store content will be charged in a postpaid user’s monthly bill while prepaid users shall be charged with their current load balance.

This new mode of payment by Globe really opens an opportunity to a massive number of Filipinos, ’cause many of them are really interested in purchasing paid applications/games or even buy extra credits on a particular game to unlock new features instantly. However, most were constrained for two reasons: One, some users are too conservative on sharing their credit card accounts online in the fear of fraud. Second, some just simply doesn’t have a bank account to sign in.

*Note: If you use GCash AMEX, you can also buy apps using that service. Check it here.

To help you get on with it, here’s a step-by-step guide for prepaid users. (Note: This feature is also available to Touch Mobile users and follows the same steps.)
