I used the find a place close to me that sells vouchers and was given names of shops in my area. after some digging those shops where actually in another province! This needs be overhauled.

 

I tried my local Walmart to see if they selling the PM SIM cards as my friends are interested but like me need be sure they can use fulltime. My Walmart does not sell anything like phones/ SIM cards or Vouchers (just laptops and tablets).

 

Since there NO pay online with Bank Debit or PayPal our only option is credit card (i currently using virtual visa via Royal Bank). We low income community but use PayPal to import via online shopping for years and avoid credit cards. 

 

PLEASE use PAYPAL and BANK DEBIT pay options ASAP!

 

I so want drop royalbank for tangerine (which i use most but they no virtual credit card)

 

I know 50 people looking for better phone packages but since no local way to get SIM and Vouchers/top up cards they need stick to their current cable/phone bundles which are overly priced.

 

ALSO you guys need put out more info on your current and long term plans so we not always asking same question over and over again. So more transparent NEWS (weekly/bi-weekly)

Shell and canadian tire gas bars and i think shoppers drugmart and 7-11 also sell vouchers. Walmarts should all sell sim cards which one did you go to?

@mimmo it was stated not all Walmarts would sell the SIM cards.  THey are sold at over 350 loactions.  Here is the Announcement  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/Public-Mobile-Retail-Launch-SIM-cards-n...

ya my point is they need better system to show us exactly where their products are sold. By as it stands only larger cities carry things. Biggest issue that keeping many people away from PM is access and ability to pay... this day and age PM should be using PayPal as they did to order SIM cards from them online and allow that to pay monthly or top up online.

Your points are valid @randolphbenoit

 

PM definitely needs to increase accessto its services across the Nation. 

 

Hopefully their Sales and Business Development Teams take your suggestions and put them to action.

Does your bank issue a Visa debit card? You can use that to pay for PM as well.

Tangerine does not have a virtual credit card. I do have RBC one but want drop it due to fees. 90% of what I do is debit and paypal. I on a very tight budget esp in the Winter months.

You can buy the SIM with paypal - it's $10 plus the taxes for your province.  However, I don't have a suggestion other than vouchers or possibly a different prepaid VISA.

 

I do use a ScotiaBank Prepaid Scene Visa for my 90 day renewals, and I used it for activation of my plan.  It's no fee, except for $10 yearly to keep it active.

Yes there are options just not in my case and area. SIM I have now I order from PM online. Prepaid has pros and cons but it not an option in my case. I live an hour out from closest city by car (I dont own a car - tight budget). Bank debit option should be a must for any online business esp paypal which everyone use these days. What I find odd they have paypal to get a SIM card and nothing else, so not like they have nothing to do with paypal already.

I agree with you completely, I even posted a similar request in the public lab less than a month ago.
