Google to Verizon Android clients: carrier billing coming to Play store

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/19/google-play-verizon-carrier-billing/)

If you're on Verizon and don't feel like racking up your plastic when you buy Play store apps or content, the carrier will soon give you the option of putting it on your [phone bill](http://www.engadget.com/tag/carrier+billing/), according to a recent Google tweet. Mountain View's had the option for a [while](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/02/google-play-adds-carrier-billing-for-music-movies-and-books/) now, with T-Mobile, [Sprint](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/sprint-android-users-get-carrier-billing-in-google-play/) and AT&T having already jumped on the app-billing bandwagon, which left Verizon as the final major to climb aboard. Other than saying that you'll be able to bill apps and music that way, details are scant -- but considering Big Red's [whopping](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Verizon,android) Android lineup, it's about time.
