Calling from Canada to US

SamuelG — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:55:26 GMT

I recently tried to place a quick call to an American number and couldn't. I ended up adding an add on for so many minutes but only needed a about 2 mins. Is there a way to just pay by the min in the future or do I need to add the add on ? Tks

You have to purchase an add-on or buy a cheap calling card to keep on hand for calls like that.

If you purchase an add on, the minutes will stay on your account until you use them or you leave PM. So feel free to add the appropriate one for your use. It's much more seemless than a calling card for the few bucks it costs.

If you have a smartphone, Hangouts will make the call for free.

@SamuelG Public Mobile is strictly a prepaid service so that's why you need to purchase the appropriate addon to get the service. The good thing is that the addon stays on your account until all the minutes are used up. So in the future if you need to call the US you will be able to without any issues.

As others said, there are multiple options to call US. Current $50 plan also gives option to call US, but it all depends on your requirement. Just to respond to another comment, US add on are time limited and it will expires in 10 days.

I believe only the roaming in the US is 10 days, the calling add-ons to 'call' US from Canada are not.
