Public Mobile Evoucher Sites

These are sites that for a small fee will allow you to add funds to your PM account. To me the most important thing is whether they use payment by Paypal. Im wary of giving my credit card information out to too many companies now. I have found 2 of them that meet this criteria:

1. Recharge.com https://www.recharge.com/en/canada/public-mobile-top-up

2. Ding.com https://www.ding.com/countries/central-north-america/canada/top-up-public-mobile

Please feel to add any that you may know of. Thanks.

I know you know this post/thread but I'll link it here because it also lists a couple more online voucher sites. When I learn of them then I update that post.

Thanks @Anonymous the muskbird link doesn't work but the zoom is very interesting, since it accepts PayPal and you can use it to send money to other PM numbers, other than your own.

Thanks for noticing muskbird. I guess they got out of that part of their offerings.

More middlemen introduces more middleman surcharges and more man-in-the-middle security risks (crooked businesses which intend to exploit customers, legit businesses which are aligned with unethical partners, honest businesses which might get compromised/hacked, etc).

So what conveniences or advantages do these e-voucher businesses offer?

I wholeheartedly agree that PM should get out of last decade and start accepting e-interac, e-wallet, and PayPal payments. Stop trying to emulate the (artificial) success of monolithic institutionalized glacial Big Business and start implementing the (natural) success of efficient adaptable agile Small Business.
