Data only

Is it possible to use the data add-on for data only? I don't need extra services and $15/gig rolling over would work for my needs.

Unfortunately, PM doesn’t sell data only plans. Your best bet is to buy the cheapest plan with that add-on you mentioned.

@evershade

You need a 30 days plan in order to use data add-on. Cheapest plan is $15 plan. But you can take over someone with a $10 plan which is no long offered.

PM is prepaid service. There is no credit check and no assume responsibility mumble jumble requirement by a postpaid mobile service. If you decided later to not to use PM, you just walk away without renewing another 30 days cycle.

If 1 Gb that rolls over is enough for you then You aren’t using much data. The $15 plan comes with 250 Mb If you set up autopay so that may go a long way for you each month. Keep a $15 / 1Gb data add-on available to supplement the data each month and hopefully it lasts quite a few months.

@evershade Best to look at the dog brand for data only plans.

+1 for the dog brand. It is my SIM 2 for augmented data.

Woof Woof!

Unfortunately, this is yet another example of a missed opportunity by Public Mobile with the carrier being out-of-touch with what customers are looking for and what the competition is offering. A carrier that markets itself as being a no frills carrier with low prices and even cuts out the call centre to achieve that shouldn't be outpriced on plan, speeds, and price by a full service carrier.

I'm fully aware that it's possible to get much cheaper at Public Mobile through rewards, but the majority of customers aren't getting large amounts of those.
