From the VoLTE FAQ page "VoLTE Roaming services are now available in the US enabling Public Mobile customers to place and receive calls over the LTE network. If there is no VoLTE coverage or if customers don’t have a VoLTE-Roaming enabled device, customers will continue roaming on the 3G/HSPA network."

Shouldn't this say "2G where available" since there is next to no 3G any more in the USA? A while back other carriers (I don't know about PM) were sending out alerts to people with phones that rely on 3G and don't have VoLTE that they would no longer work when roaming in the USA.

Nice marketing to entice customers towards the roaming plan. Thanks.

@softech One thing I've noticed a few times is that phone models that are supposedly VoLTE capable but not whitelisted for PM often also have complaints from people on US carrier forums that their phones don't get VoLTE even though capable (and sometimes also whitelisted). So it seems very much YMMV there too.

Re: Limited Time Sale: 60GB Canada-US plan for $50/month on 90-day

softech — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 15:54:35 GMT

You are right @Phil_Adelphus , some phones not on the VoLTE list and not having VoLTE here , but reported working in US. That's why we see a huge drop in complain about lack for roaming voice support in US

Unfortunately, sometimes people are overly upset when their own devices are not on the list, and forgot to look at the overall industry or the technical needs to introduce something slowly to avoid network congestion (necessary evil 🙂 ) . But I know PM will take all constructive suggestions and feedback and will improve on it.

Maybe those that get overly upset when they get corrected on their postings should not call people being overly upset about the whitelisting. Maybe. Like not be hypocritical. Like maybe not targeting individuals with comments as befits the status of an oracle.

We do not see any kind of huge drop in these complaints. Where do you get off saying that? We just had one right around the time this thread started. I have never seen anyone state here that they did not have volte while in Canada but suddenly got volte while in the US. That is a spurious claim.

I pay an average of $2.50US per 30 days for a US service. I activated and inserted the sim and volte just simply appeared. No OS change. No settings change. It was just there. And it worked. Using T-Mobile. This whitelist is evil.

Hi @dust2dust you probably on the Community less now, it is true that we have so many confirmations that VoLTE works and people do not need 2G. I remember yours is not even a North American phone, maybe get a new phone and use VoLTE. No carrier can support outdated phones forever.

But @J_PM , I just want to confirm, is it true that even the phone is not on VoLTE whitelist with PM, if it is on T-Mobile's whitelist, it will work? My friend in Telus told me because the voice traffic in US is only between T-Mobile and and the devices , so as long as the account is permissioned for VoLTE, and on T-Mobile's VoLTE whitelist, it will work

dust2dust — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 16:56:14 GMT

@hTideGnow- You're not understanding what I've been saying. It has been claimed here that a phone that is not enabled here can work for roaming volte. I have never seen this reported. An enabled phone, sure.
I have been here all along even when away from home. I just don't post as much.

My phone works perfectly fine for volte on another provider and is not outdated. It's that this place has unjustifiably severe restrictions on allowing devices.

I would also like an official confirmation for your question. How can an account be permissioned for volte if it doesn't work though?

2G has long been shut down in the US.

Re: Limited Time Sale: 60GB Canada-US plan for $50/month on 90-day

dust2dust — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 03:38:41 GMT

@aip0401- Not T-Mobile. That was in fact the only way we could do roaming talk before volte was introduced. But with the severe restrictions on enabling devices for volte it's still the only option for many. Unfortunately, T-Mobile has no infrastructure in Alaska.

I got public mobile far my children the service works OK but each time I sign in to view the details, man pulling teeth is faster than this. Its a real pain. It just circles and circles. The sales and deals are quite attractive but.....

Amped — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 15:05:17 GMT

You've mentioned that the 60GB Can-US plan has unlimited data at reduced speed, but on the plan page it doesn't mention that for that plan. Is this a mistake?

Re: Limited Time Sale: 60GB Canada-US plan for $50/month on 90-day

dust2dust — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 18:16:58 GMT

@Amped- Good spotting. Yes from past posts about the roaming plans it does not have unlimited data. @J_PM

Will public mobile be getting 5G+ in Canada? Some other providers in Canada have it.

I believe that Public Mobile already has 3500MHz access as the Telus network is used. Keep in mind that Public Mobile limits speeds to 250Mbps on the current 5G-speed plans.

@J_PM , I have a few questions about this limited time offer for a 90-day sub at $50/mo, 60GB CAN-US.

1) The plan details listed above indicate unlimited Canada-wide minutes. Should this read Unlimited CAN-US minutes?

2) Plan details above indicate reduced speed data up to 512kbps after exceeding the 60GB data allowance. Is this correct for this CAN-US plan?

3) Plan details indicate $3.25/mo in reward points (5% * $65.). Do you still receive $3.25 in reward points despite paying $50/mo with a 90-day subscription?

Cheers.

The plan includes calling US nubmers. For speeds, 5G plans that include roaming do not include unlimited data. Points are linked to any specifc plan. It's based only on the price of the plan (in this case $150 per 90 days).
