So if this is a possible thing to add then please think about it and let me know! it would be awesome!
You still need a credit card or PayPal account to pay by phone, don't you?

Nope! I have no credit card, nor a paypal account and i have been able to purchase stuff. Such as ingame money and such with mobile services such as Kanzaroo. Agian i dont know if this is something that you can add cause i have zero knowledge of how this works but i guess its worth checking out. I'll sure be your first customer on it if its added.

From what I understand, this works by allowing a business to charge your phone bill to cover the payment.

I'm not sure if this is something Kim will want to add, as Paypal is a global payment method that is widely accepted and works with banks in virtually any country.

Why is Paypal not an option for you? I don't have a credit card either (Dutch debit cards don't work like that), but just like a phone company, Paypal can hook up to my bank account and withdraw money from there whenever I make a payment. If you're paying for your phone bill through automatic withdrawals from your bank account, then you should be able to pay with Paypal in the same manner.

Hmm thats what i thought yes, that is was some sort of business options. And well the reason it isnt an option for me is, well.....lets just say that i am not the one paying the bills currently. But i do however have a little agreement with the one doin it, which gives me a certain amount of money to spend every month but i can only spend this via my phone. Sorry if i sound shaddy or if it dosent make alot of sense and stuff but well....its embrassing and uncomftable to talk about this soo...But anyway so if phone payments isnt an option then well....that sucks. I guess i have to live without it or just wait until things get better for me then.

No worries, that sounds perfectly fine to me. :)

Have you tried looking into prepaid gift cards? I don't know if any sellers of these gift cards use your payment method, but it 's worth looking into. You can buy those separately and then use them through Paypal when you checkout like you would a credit card (or add it to your Wallet in your Paypal account).

I've used cards like this in the past and they're a great workaround for when you can't use a credit card.
