If you have a credit on your account, can you use that credit to purchase a cellphone?

[shimdog]

Unfortunately those credits are only for plan renewals and purchasing add-ons

@Yummy   Yes.  The way  your working so  hard in helping people in the community with their problems, it won't be long before your's will be free too!  I'm pretty sure of that 😊😊😊

We only wish we could use any accumulated funds in our accounts to purchase a phone from pm. Maybe you should add that go @maximum_gato 's community wishlist!😃

@Yummy   I called it fake money, cause you said you can only buy the phone with real 💰 money.  😆

If I could use that  ( fake )money in my available funds account to get a PM phone, it would be free for me.

I envy you... Does it mean you PM service is free as you always have extra in your account?

There was a guy some time ago ranting about getting his money back. I think he said he had deposited real money. But then he wanted it back. Never did hear what came of it.

I don't think rewards should be counted. But I think there is something to be said about depositing real money...T&C/policies notwithstanding.

I would not call it 'fake' money as on next renewal they DO lower your bill you are paying with 'real' money.

I guess some members accumulating rewards, referrals could benefit of getting 'free' phone trading such 'fake' money for it.

No you can't purchase device,

but if you found at Available Funds: $$
leave it for next bill cycle the will take it from there automatically...

[walker1]

That's really bad that you can't use that fake money to buy your new/ used phone.   I hope you didn't already load real money into your available funds account, thinking you could buy your phone from that account.

[Yummy]

Funds from account can be used only for funding account (renewal, add-ons).

Refurbished phones have to be purchased with real money.

[softech]

@station1104 no , they are in fact different sites and  different logons.   The credit can only be used for plan renewal and add-ons purchases 

[Triguy]

Unfortunately you can't use any credits in your account.  You would need to pay using Paypal and credit cards for Certified Pre-Owned phones.
