Unlimited Global Text - what does it include?

edithkyr — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:43:25 GMT

I have chosen unlimited global text. I understand that I can send text messages globally without being charge. However, will I be charge if someone from overseas send me a message? That is to say outgoing global texts are free, what about incoming global texts? Are they free or do they have a separate charge?

@edithkyr incoming txt are free from anywhere even if you don't have a global plan

Only PPU services will ever cost you extra on other carriers (Public does not support them)

@edithkyr Pay Per Use services

Things that send you txt messages for a fee

Some can be helpful but most are spam and hated

Worse, some bill as much as $2 for every text so some people on hook for thousands

Not on Public

Other carriers

@ASharpTM As you say, I get ninja'd all the time. So do many others.

its all good 🙂 Personally, I love to see many responses, because it shows how much the community wants to help others, whether it's a simple question, or something that takes some time to think about.

ive been a part of some other forums, and this is by far the nicest, and smartest collection of peers I could ever ask for.
