I believe only t-mobile has carrier billing at the moment

The only way to buy apps from the Market is with Google Checkout, which requires a credit card. Not sure about TMO allowing carrier billing, but I know Verizon doesn't.

Sorry =/

Couldnt you buy a $25.00 Visa/Mastercard/Amex gift card at CVS and then use that to purchase?

That would work as long as the Gift Card you buy allows international purchases. Many do not.

Bill, so the Android Market transacts its business outside of the US? I thought Google was based in California? Or do they use some shady off-shore shell company based in the Cayman Islands to process their Market transactions (sadly I'm only asking that half-jokingly lol) ?

Why don't you get a job and pay for it yourself? Or just be happy that your parents bought you a $200 phone when you have no need for it.

I think the reason for the card needing to allow foreign county purchases is because the company that make Beautiful Widgets (Level Up) is based out of France.

*facepalm*

The kid could have a job, for all anyone knows. But having a job doesn't mean having a credit card to pay for things with. If OP is a teen, well, then they don't need a credit card at all.
