Title: WAYS TO PAY ONLINE?
Post by: rachelwilliams on Tuesday 05 April 05 17:49 BST (UK)
I get frustrated when I go onto these sites and find information that MIGHT be relevant to me, but in order to find out I have to pay, which I dont mind.  BUT I dont have a credit card.  Are there any sites that have another method of paying?? ?

Cheers

Which sites are you referring to?

I do know that the 1901 census site, and 1837online allow you to pay by debit card (Switch/Maestro).  I am sure there are other sites that provide this also.

Hi

I havent even got a switch/Maestro!  The only card I have is a Building Society savings card.  I cant get cards nemore due 2 my foolish spending in my teens!!

Are there sites that let u pay through your phone bill?

Thanks

Sorry I can't be of any further help.

If you are with BT look at

www.btclickandbuy.com

You can pay on your phone bill, but at the moment I can only see two sites that you might useon there.

  "1837 online"  and "link my family tree".

Hope this helps.

I know in Australia many credit unions/building societies have debit visa cards. i.e. looks and behaves like a credit card, but you have to have the funds in the bank to use it. I'm sure there is probably a similar card in England.

On this site you do need a credit card, as you can purchase payment vouchers from your local library.
