Are you trying to renew your WhatsApp subscription using your phone credit but are unable to complete the operation? Tell me, what is your telephone operator? Vodafone? So I'm sorry but you are not having problems with the payment ...
Vodafone has offered the possibility to pay for apps and services through the SIM credit for some time, but this option is currently disabled. The “activate Vodafone invoicing” function which previously allowed pay WhatsApp with Vodafone is no longer available, so if you want to renew your subscription to WhatsApp you have to resign yourself and use one of the traditional payment methods: credit card, prepaid card (eg PostePay) or PayPal.
If you need help, below you will find explained step by step how to renew your WhatsApp subscription for one, three or five years using all the payment methods currently available for Vodafone customers. The indications are valid for iOS, Windows Phone and Android, where among other things there is the possibility of giving the subscription to another person. However, we will talk more about this in the second part of the tutorial. Now let's try to proceed with order and see how to renew the subscription of your account.
