Countries in which the service is now available include: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United States, and the United Kingdom.

With buygamecredit.com, the customer can make their purchase in two simple ways to instantly receive an activation code – by sending a standard-rate SMS or entering their mobile number on buygamecredit.com.

“This service is all about convenience, simplicity and immediacy,” said Gavin Carpenter, sales director of Phonovation.

“Without ever having to leave the house, or the couch for that matter, customers in these countries can quickly and securely purchase Xbox LIVE Gold Subscription and Xbox Microsoft Points in a few clicks on their phone or PC.”
