Whipstock Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I used Xoom two weeks ago. PayPal used my Visa. No interest, or fee charged???? EDIT: I was incorrect, I have XOOM payments via my Debit card, NOT a CC. Thanks for the information, Virgo Lady.

So your cheap plan isn't as cheap as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it is still there, just with a different link now to the page: Recharge telcel phones in Mexico - Top Up Instantly | Xoom, a PayPal Service I encourage anyone using it and paying with Paypal to use a debit card link, and not a credit card link, for that Paypal payment......as some credit cards charge this as a cash advance with the related fees and interest....vs if using a debit card, it just comes right out of your bank account.

Mostlylost Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Why use a third party service?? Telcel accepts credit and debit cards on their platform. The approval and credit is instant with a message on my cell and an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrall Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I don't know if this is true for the Amigo plan but if you add more data to a regular plan, the extra data continues on the monthly bill until you go to mitelcel.com and cancel it.

My question is ..Why do you use a 3rd party to buy something that you can buy directly online with Telcel? And do you pay them for this service?

The OP might want additional information. Bossy much? I am not charged extra to buy Telcel time from them. I can also pay Total Play, CFE and others. It is easy to do and easier than going to each website. If being charged 25 cents is too much for you, don't use a third party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Probably because he/she want to... my question would be 'why do you persist in asking this question' especially after the person has acknowledged it may cost them a few pesos to do so, seems to be comfortable with that and has rejected your cost-saving suggestions already? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use that service to pay for Telcel, Total Play, CFE and others. I pay an extra 25 cents sometimes for convenience. My question is, why do you care? 25 cents isn't a big deal to me. If it is to you, don't use a third party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They edited their first response after my post. I only asked when they did not answer. I was not trying to be condescending or insulting, as they now are in their last post. Since they chose to edit their first response to me I assume it was to make it seem like I was "persisting" Many people here use 3rd party websites to pay bills because they are not aware that they can do so directly with instant results and no extra costs. My reason was to ask why and alert readers other than that poster they can do it directly. If the poster already knew that fine.. others might not. I see you repeat yourself many times but I don't see the need to make such type of comments about your posts. Maybe you could be just as courteous to me. No response needed, however I am sure you will find the need.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 My response is that you explained why.... makes sense to me but was surely an unknown situation. But I'll try to be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
