• AT&T
• Boost
• Sprint
• T-Mobile
• US Cellular

To see if you are eligible for Direct Carrier Billing, please contact your carrier.

How to subscribe via Paypal

If you choose to subscribe via Paypal, they will send you a shortcode to your mobile number to proceed.

Some carriers can have trouble receiving short code messages from Paypal as they are considered to be 'Premium Messages' and support for these needs to be enabled by your carrier on your account.

As a workaround for this, if you install the Paypal app on your device it should allow you to create a pin code which you can use to verify your Paypal account for purchases on your device.

Please Note: Since all subscriptions are billed monthly, it's important to check your balance to ensure your payment was successful. If your balance is too low, or your payment method has expired, this can cause your subscription to end.

To update your payment method:

1. Go to your Device Settings
2. Select iTunes & App Store
3. Click on your Apple ID
4. Select View Apple ID
5. Enter your Apple ID password
6. Tap Payment Information

Please Note: After you update or add your payment information, please go back to Sideline and try your purchase again.
