 This is definately not new but the payment methods are very restrictive unless you own and use a credit card. The vouchers are very inconvenient in having to find a location that sells them and having to get in your car and drive to them go in and purchase one drive back home well you get the picture.Now PayPal or Bank Transfers are not new ideas I am sure. But as I sit here tonite on a late friday evening trying to decide what to do about changing my wifes phone service from Bell to Public Mobile I have to wonder why isnt Paypal or a Bank Transfer an option.If it were I would be all done and the sim card I ordered for my wife which arrived a few days ago would be activated. I would even be satisfied to pay interac a small fee to have it transfered and yet none of these three very convenient ways of paying are acceptable to Public Mobile.Its as if they are so far behind the times with their credit card only or jump in your card and drive.I have been using Paypal for years and have recently switched to using them for my small business .My wife has always used bank transfers for payments and such.I frequently use interac for transactions as well.I dont know why PM is holding back with very convenient methods of payment whether its for spite against paypal their fees or whatnot .PM said a year ago it was looking into paypal but nothing has come of it. So my idea is just to reiterate what others have said and suggest you add at least one of the methods I mentioned as it would make life a bit more easier for me and wife

While I do agree that PayPal and Bank Transfers are not new ideas.

 

Integrating more payment options are not a simple endeavor. It really come down to what makes business sense. As you are a business owner yourself, you can imagine all the different challenges Public Mobile may face. Without knowing how they operate, it's hard to make a good suggestion.

 

For me personally, I find credit card to be the best option. Paying with PayPal and Bank Transfers is overly complicated to me.

Why not just use a credit card? Why are you trying to make things more complicated by using bank transfers and paypal subscriptions? 

 

Most people pay for almost everything using credit cards and in my opinion the focus should be on improve the experience people have with using credit cards. Maybe support Apple Pay or fixing the issue regarding using the same credit card for over 2 lines before adding more payment methods which very few people will use.
