Plan purchasing with UK debit card

[MJGH]

Hi.  I have bought a Public sim and now need to activate it and buy a plan.  However I am told that my card needs to be registered in Canada and it is registered in the UK.  Can you please help me with this problem?  Many thanks.

Shoppers Drug Mart has always been instantaneous for me!

@MJGH  Since vouchers from some stores need to wait 24 hours before it can be used,  I suggest you get it from the following stores, vouchers from the following stores can be used immediately without any wait time

Shoppers Drug Mart 

Wal-mart

Shell gas stations

Circle K

7/11

Not sure if you have activated your PM account yet, just a note, you can ALSO activate with voucher, you will just need to choose "Pay with Voucher" in Step 4 of the activation page

@MJGH  PM only accepts "credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and Visa Debit cards that have been issued by Canadian or American financial institutions and are associated with addresses in Canada or the U.S." 

if you do not have such credit or visa debit card, you might need to get payment vouchers from stores.    Once you got the vouchers, you can load it into your account by using *611 on your phone or via Self-Serve My Account

You can also do Instant Top-up with a small fees at " most Canadian Tire Gas, Esso, Gateway Newstands, and MacEwen locations".  Just provide them your phone number and you can top up between $10 to $100
