Where can I buy public mobile voucher?

HieuPhoebe — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 21:38:16 GMT

Hi, I want to buy a Public Mobile voucher/gift card in a store. As listed here https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/payment-voucher. I checked with Real Canadian Supperstore, Loblaws (Vancouver) but they said that the service no longer provides Public Mobile. Could you please update lists of store that I can buy Public Mobile voucher/giff card?

@HieuPhoebe have you tried Shoppers Drug Mart? I think the problem with updating the current list is that most RCS/Loblaws stores probably still sell them so it might be based on your location. Other options include buying them online from places like: muskbird.com, ding.com and recharge.com although they all seem to charge a bit more for the convenience.

@HieuPhoebe I bought it at shell gas station.

It will be awhile, if ever for that list to be updated.

@HieuPhoebe , I recall reading somewhere that ever since Loblaws launched their own brand of MVNO recently they stopped carrying competing brand products.

Loblaws has two cellular brands PC mobile (old) and No Frills mobile (new)

@HieuPhoebe

These are the locations to purchase vouchers but better to call ahead to make sure they have them before making the trip:

7-11, Canadian Tire gas stations, London Drugs, Canadian Superstore, Shell, Shoppers Drugmart, Safeway, Staples

Hi @HieuPhoebe

I am in Ontario. I purchased vouchers at the Superstore a month ago. I asked the cashier to check a ring for cell phone vouchers that they keep in their drawer. Most have never heard of Public Mobile. The Public Mobile voucher bar codes are typically at the back of the book on an orange card, and the PIN code is printed on the receipt. I have purchased from No Frills and Canadian Tire. It may be possible to purchase from Wal-Mart, but I haven't bought a voucher there in about four years.

Most stores are likley using the same gift card/phone top up systems. I would say that if a specific store sells these types of things, odds are pretty good that Public Mobile vouchers are available.
