It's called Plugshare and it works with most networks, and probably only works on Android (due to Apple's payment restrictions).

YMMV.

I can't pay on any of the charging points I use, not on iOS or Android.

Even if I could, it'd most likely use the roaming price of $FUCKTON, so no thanks.

Yeah, I typically use Electrify America (range anxiety has been replaced by "is the charger broken anxiety" and EA is hella reliable), and they don't support Plugshare. Apparently they are working on account identification through the charging cable, if that catches on this mess could really be a thing of the past. I'm going off-topic, though.
