Hi, we have an international student from Vietnam living with us for three months. She plans to sign up for Public Mobile. Will her credit card based in Vietnam be accepted?

@tcowtan try recharge.com.  They aceept international cards.

 

 


They also accept Paypal. As much as many people dislike the company, that's huge because that allows people to use funds already in the balance and for even more payment options through them. The other thing that Paypal has going for them is how people feel beter giving their credit card numbers to less companies.  I think that accepting Paypal would benefit Public Mobile greatly, assuming that they were able to negotiate a rate that was agreeable to them.

You could try using recharge.com to make a payment.

Best to start your own thread for better exposure of your issue.

This is indeed an irritation.

I bought the SIM card using an international credit card, but now that I want to activate it, I can't.

@ShawnC13 @Luddite Actually Prepaid Mastercard (Gift Card) works. I tested this the other day and i was able to successfully add it to my account. The card was from this site: https://mastercard.giftcardstore.ca

 

@frosstman This will allow her to add this type of gift card to her self-serve account so she can enable AutoPay. To avoid any problem with the payment coming out of the added gift card, vouchers can be used.

  • Ultramar
  • Uniprix
  • Walmart
  • WOW Mobile (will activate SIM too)

As stated above no international cards are accepted but she could always purchase the value in vouchers for three months and load them into the account.  She just wouldn't get autopay rewards.
