Why does my mobile carrier make it so difficult to give them money?
It must be the most disliked carrier since nobody, not even their own company shops, carries refill cards.

Their mobile system is great though. Pre-pay, and use. If you don't use your prepayment or data allotment it carries over until you have used it all. No time limit.

Combined with the city wide WiFi, and my monthly bill is like US$ 2.50 for mobile and US$ 2 for WiFi access, but oh boy do they make it difficult to pay them... sigh.

I had to call, get a personal bank account of their accountant, transfer the cash, call them back, they manually check the funds came in to a personal account, then they manually transferred that cash to a company account, and credited my account.... yikes!

Might be a strategy to get you to open a personal bank account. Maybe they get sponsored by the bank.

Nah. Cash deposit. No need for account, or ID yourself or nothing.
THey also have accounts in many different banks... so they are not loyal or tied to 1 bank only either.

I think it may be that they are a disruptive player, and the "Big 3" carriers pay off the retailers not to carry their refills. The "Big 3" only sells expensive monthly deals (eg. US$ 10 for 500 MB of data) whereas this carrier charges per MB of data used, and thrown in a lot of free data on each refill.

I just don't know man... :confused:
