Payment options

There are two ways to pay for applications and other content you purchase from the

•

Credit card – pay with your credit card. You need to be logged in to your PlayNow™

account to be able to pay with your credit card. If you pay by credit card, the price will be

lower than if you pay using Premium SMS. All your personal data is securely transferred

using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. When your purchase has been validated,

the download will start automatically.

•

Premium SMS – pay using SMS when you are in your home country. You do not have to

be a registered user to pay for content using the Premium SMS method. Your purchased

items will be automatically downloaded to your phone.

Both payment options are not always available in all countries, or with all service providers.

Vouchers

Vouchers are codes to access content such as music, applications and games offered in

a campaign.
You can access the vouchers option, when you register for PlayNow. Ask your network

operator for more information on voucher offerings and their codes in a specific campaign.

Vouchers and campaigns are not available in all countries and on all networks. The vouchers

option will still be visible in your phone, even if the voucher service is not available in your country.
