Mobile phone billing is only available using the Google Play Store app. It isn't available on the Google Play website on a computer or mobile browser.
Your account with your carrier must be in good standing.
If you use a device with dual SIM cards, make sure to put the right SIM card in slot 1 and leave slot 2 empty.

Some mobile phone carriers can't be used to pay for subscriptions.

Check with your carrier to make sure:

You haven't exceeded your carrier's monthly spending limit.
Your device and service plan allow premium content purchases.
Your device can use mobile phone billing.
