What device are you currently using to post this? You can use it as a portable hotspot for your smartphone.

Steam does not accept mobile payment methods.

Which are both not available as payment methods on Steam.

Still, other shops might -- check isthereanydeal for suggestions. A quick look at Fanatical shows that they list a payment method "G Pay", with the G suspiciously google-colored.

Of course, offers will be limited since not every game is sold in every store, or even sold outside of the Steam store at all.

If it matters for you, double-check that you're buying a Steam key. Publishers with their own DRM platforms don't sell Steam keys at all.

I could come up with a couple of ways to convert sim credits into money, but this is heavily dependent on your region.

I have something called DANA and LinkAja. Where I can freely top up my wallet in there and then use that wallet to buy a Steam wallet.

needless to say, u still need a net for this
