hello Mr or Ms snaimon:

thx for your posting. well, as my itinerary is Vancouver/Calgary/Kananaskis/Lake Louise/Jasper/Banff, the only sure place to be able to get a "voucher" to refill my prepaid is Vancouver! (we're not spending any time in calgary).

they do NOT allow using a US credit card to refill a prepaid sim phone card!

i really don't understand that!

i'm thinking that i'll do the $40 initial top up to take full advantage of the bonus double initial top up which has a maximum of up to $40 for the initial top up, so a $40 top up is equal to $80 in my prepaid account.

in Kananaskis / Lakie Louise / Jasper / Banff, there's no assurance that they will have the right kiosk/store that carry thiese vouchers and there's no assurance that i'll be near them! maybe i will be near them, maybe i won't.

this is quite complicated!! ugh!
