Public Mobile's prepaid service allows for almost anyone the ability to access an affordable cell phone plan without the need for credit score checks or jumping thru hoops that many other providers require especially if its postpaid service. Vouchers allow customers without credit cards, m/c or visa debit cards or Canadian/US based bank/credit cards pay for their service.
Alternatively many of public mobile's customers choose to use vouchers as they don't feel comfortable registering a credit card for autopay therefore many miss out on collecting the $2 autopay reward to help reduce ther bill and the 250mb/500mb data bonus offered when w/autopay. I have compiled some useful links to threads that explore these alternative options available to all customers outside of the official help pages and knowledge articles. Feel free to add useful links I 'm unaware of or new options on the market like Stack that I couldn't find yet posted in the community.
