USING A SMILE INTERNATIONAL CARD ( USD, AUD GBD)

the first time you recharge it
it cuts about 8 dollars

for everytime you reload it
it cuts 1-2 dollars

its easy to add a card to paypal:D

You need multiple cards for multiple currencies or only one which supports the use of USD,GBP,Etc..?

you can use any for any currency
suppose ou are buying a MRU stuff
i would convert the usd for you to pay the MRU product

Follow the steps to open the paypal account. Once this is done, you will be able to add a bank account to your paypal. Paypal would deposit or withdraw a small amount from your bank and you will need to confirm that amount back into paypal so that they can verify that the bank account you've listed is really yours.

@Ziya it is possible to open a paypal account with a bank account in Mauritius. Just make sure you have your credit card in hand!

@ziya : I wouldn't have answered your question unless I was really sure about what I said. I have a paypal account linked to my MCB card. However a user has confirmed that you can use the SBM Prepaid Card aka SBM Smile with Paypal. See this link.

@gices I know we can open paypal account with the SBM smile card but I just want to know how to do it and what is the procedure.

Go to Paypal.com and click on the Sign Up link. You then need to click the button that says Open an account for an Individual. Fill in the form with your details and where it says "Link my credit card so I can start shopping right away", just enter the details of the SBM Smile Card. You're done!

Its asking me to add the card number is it the numbers in the front of the card and its also saying to add 3 numbers,which number is that?

The card number is written at the front of the card where your name is printed. You will get the 3 numbers from the back of the card; it's the last 3 digits on the back. This is referred to as CSC (Card Security Code).

Thanks gices.One thing, my name is not printed in the card.

That's fine. Your name is not on the card because it's prepaid. Other credit/debit have it though.
