If you don't like having your credit card tied to your Google Play account and live in Singapore, here's the good news: you can now link it to your monthly phone bill (or prepaid balance) from August 15 onwards if you're a SingTel subscriber.
The Singapore telco has announced a partnership with Google to be the first in Southeast Asia to offer carrier billing services. This means you can buy apps or in-app purchases and the amount will be charged to your mobile line instead.
The company also mentioned that this will be rolled out to Optus in Australia, which it owns, and other regional associates, which are likely companies where the company either has shares in or owns.
These companies are Advanced Info Service (AIS) of Thailand, Bharti AirTel (India), Globe Telecom (the Philippines), Citycell (Bangladesh) and Telkomsel (Indonesia).
