Android apps billed to Verizon account?

[OldPilot]

Has anyone read that we will soon be able to purchased paid Android apps and have them on our monthly Verizon bill? If true that would ease things.

I have not read anything of this sort. It's a downer that Verizon does not offer this method. I know on my T-mobile service I have the option for apps to be billed towards my monthly bill.

There are rumors about a future integration with Paypal for the Android Market.

Hi there,

I spoke to a few reliable sources, and have come to the conclusion that No, verizon will not allow support to charge the verizon account rather than direct to google. The reason for this is that Google operates its market totally seperate from anything verizon is doing.

However they did mention that there will be future integration with paypal and the market.

Hope this answers your question

Thanks for the info! I just read something similar that Android is going to attempt carrier billing, but as usual Verizon blocks a lot of useful things. I can certainly live with PayPal as I already have an account.
