I look at your news and it is nothing like the USA. Also I am missing something what outlets or channels do you use to keep track of your countries.

I have some expiring money trapped on a GSM phone. Use-it-or-lose-it. I cannot see how to spend it all at the last minute.

Anyone know of any clever ways to use phone credit?

I think there would be no problem if this were Africa because a lot of people there have no bank account; they use their GSM phones for banking instead.

Update: I found a business that sells the “Premium SMS” service to other companies who want to accept payment in that way:

But sadly, there is no list of their customers.

So far, I have only found De Lijn, parking, and shitty US tech giants (e.g. Google Play Store) who can take payments via premium SMS.

I've stayed in hotels throughout Europe and have found that shower curtains are almost non-existent, and glass shower enclosures don't cover the entire shower. Why is that? Is this one of those weird things like the gap in the bathroom doors on North American bathrooms? How do you shower without getting water everywhere?
