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? 🙂

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. 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.
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. 🙂
