Payment for someone else

[michaelwendt]

How can I pay for someone else's phone and have her name (not mine) show up when she calls someone?

For  how to pay for someone else phone:

•  if you don't mind you can put your cc info on the person's PM My Account profile.  When the person log back on after, they won't see all the information other than the last 4 digits
•  you can use voucher
•  you can have Instant Top-up at most Canadian Tire Gas, Esso, Gateway Newstands, and MacEwen locations.  All they need is the phone number.  (small charge applied)

For the name display, PM does not pass the name of the phone number but just the number itself.  The name showing up on the receiving end  would be tied to the phone contact setup on the person

Purchasing Vouchers

We also accept payment vouchers, which you can purchase at select locations. To find the location nearest you click here. Payment voucher PINs are 12-digit numeric codes located on the receipt. The location of the PIN varies depending on where you purchase your voucher; however, you will typically find it on the top or the bottom of your receipt. To top up using a voucher, sign in to your Self-Serve account, select the ‘Payment’ tab, then ‘One Time Payment’. In the form on the next page, select ‘Payment Voucher’ as your payment method and enter your voucher code below, then click ‘Submit’.

 @michaelwendt : You can buy vouchers and use the 18554public service to redeem them. Or if you know the 4 digit PIN of the account and there's a pre-registered payment card on file then you can do that too.

Public mobile does not have name display. Just the phone number is shown when calling out.  

You can pay in various ways.  Put your credit card in the self service account for autopay.  Purchase payment vouchers for the person to use.

@michaelwendt    You can purchase vouchers for your friend and give them the PIN code to enter via the 611 service to make a payment on their account.  

PM never shows the name on outgoing calls only the number.
