There are plenty of Speakout users, particularly in the Ottawa/Quebec/East Coast thatno longer have 7-11 stores in their area. The service still work, provided you can get vouchers. Thats why they buy them here...

... I can only assume that 7-11 wants to draw customers in to their stores. PC has an online option, so I can see no other reason why SO wouldn't.

PS, I could read your post, so I assume your math was perfect 😉

Thanks Andrew for this info. I'm learning everything slowly but surely. 🙂

Thats why they buy them here. As to why guys are selling $50 vouchers for $50, you got me??? You have to pay tax on those things, so they are actually selling at a loss.

Why can't we buy airtime online? Since SO and Petrocan are run by the same operator, I can only assume that 7-11 wants to draw customers in to their stores. PC has an online option, so I can see no other reason why SO wouldn't.

Still trying to understand how the whole system works.

Why are people buying airtime vouchers here at cost?
Is it because they don't want to make a trip to a local 7/11?
Is it because there aren't any local 7/11's?
Another reason?

I'd also like to know why SO doesn't allow you to buy airtime online?
I mean this is 2010 isn't it?
I mean the internet makes is extremely easy to do these things doesn't it?

TIA

P.S. How am I doing with my math so far? 🙂
