Canada wide?

am10 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:12:29 GMT

I just switched to public mobile on the 28$ 2.5gb plan with canada wide calling unlimited and international text unlimited.

I want to confirm that if I am in Quebec I can text/call any number in Canada without any charges? I can also use data canada wide without any charges?

THanks

You must be on other sites that do? “If” threads were to be closed here it would make sense that it would “auto close” once a solution was accepted. There is an issue here in being an OP cannot bravo themselves but the OP can accept a solution to their own post. It pumps up their stats. And some have knowingly accepted their solution by mistake. Some posts are informational etc. and will never have a solution. So the latter would likely not self close from a solution accepted. Is it good or bad to close or not close......so many new people just don’t look and old posts and jump in for a quick answer from the ever so eager community. And they get one!! But finding a similar old post can de resurrected with a question and brings it to the top of the pile. Nothing wrong with that. It’s how it is run here. I can only suggest that you opt to NOT read posts that have a solution. But also keep in mind that @Luddite spends a lot of time housecleaning all the threads and assigns solutions which helps the community member with their stats......but while I am not complaining......it would make more sense to remind the OP to assign a solution as they best know what one it was vs some one else’s knowledgeable best guess.

@LurganIeUk I don't know lol, I have seen people select the last post as the correct solution even though it mirrors all the posts before it.

Oh yes!! I agree that it happens. Any one that is grateful for the help......should bravo the FIRST post that solved their issue and of course make it the solution too!!! There has been a few times that I have felt “slighted"...but not going to lose any sleep over it......it is fun to learn and help.....it is the culture developed here.

@LurganIeUk "would make more sense to remind the OP to assign a solution"

FYI: they are sent a reminder about a week after first post.

LurganIeUk — Sun, 22 Nov 2020 20:34:21 GMT

@Luddite I have started many posts and have only had a very few reminders. I forgot about them because I have not had one for a long time. ☹️

Hi @RWS

I don't believe the OP @am10 was implying otherwise (although I certainly get the inference).

I suspect some inexperienced mobile users really might not know what "Unlimited Canada-wide" calling means in actual use. Perhaps saying it like this: "if your call is originating in ANY Canadian Province or Territory, you can call to any other Canadian Province or Territory with no long-distance charges (subject to any outgoing minute limited plans)"
