$25 plan | April 1st, 2021

CanadianPerson0 — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 06:38:45 GMT

It's $25 and says you get 500MB (3G. 500MB more if you use autopay) and Unlimited Canada-wide minutes, Int’l Text & Picture Messaging.

So I can only call people in Canada? Also, on Android or iOS you can send and recieve internationl texts and images? Or only send?

Hi @CanadianPerson0

Unlimited Canada-wide calling. You can call or get calls to anyone else within Canada from anywhere else within Canada.

Unlimited international texting, including SMS or MMS, both send and receive, to anyone in the world.

Yes, Unlimited Canada calling means can you call anyone within Canada for free.

It is going to change to Provincial calling soon...

Unless purchasing a long distance add-on, only Canadian and toll free numbers accessible from Canada can be called on this plan.

Yes, you can receive incoming SMS and MMS sent to you from anywhere while you're in Canada.

@CanadianPerson0 You get another bonus of 500MB with autopay for total of 1GB at 3G speeds. Texts/MMS can be sent and received internationally. Yes all calling out is within Canada but calls from anywhere in the world can be received. You'll need an international calling add-on to makes calls outside of Canada for the limited number of countries on the add-on list.

Just to be clear @CanadianPerson0 the $25 "on sale" plan will NOT change to Provincial Wide. If you buy now...it will remain Canada Wide...but when the sale is over the $25 plan will be Provincial and your $25 plan will then cost $30.

Yes, you can receive incoming SMS and MMS sent to you from anywhere while you're in Canada.

And you can receive calls from any country. @computergeek541 are you saying we can call USA toll free numbers?? (if the toll free number is callable from Canada as some toll free numbers are only callable from within or specified or specified countries).

Yes, I am, as long as the number accepts calls from Canadian phone numbers.

That's another one for the list of free calling for the $15 plan.

Toll Free Canada

Toll Free Worldwide "if" the number is set up to accept calls from Canada.

So wait, if I phone somebody anywhere in Canada it's covered with this plan, but I can't call those outside Canada? But lets say Person A calls me from United States, or Europe or something, would that be covered? Or would I have to pay extra?

Re: $25 plan | April 1st, 2021

CanadianPerson0 — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:30:35 GMT

That's disappointing. Just getting into the service and it's already gonna bump up $5?

For outgoing calls, Canada-wide calling means that you can call Canadian phone numbers.

It never matters where the other person calls you from.

Either way, Public Mobile doesn't have pay-per-use charges. If something hasn't already been paid for, it just doesn't work.

@CanadianPerson0

You can call anyone in Canada, or receive calls from anyone in Canada, andreceive calls from anyone in the world.

In order to call outside of Canada, you need to purchase the applicable add-on for that specific area or country.

The plan that you sign up to will be honored, at the price advertised.

Re: $25 plan | April 1st, 2021

CanadianPerson0 — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:33:57 GMT

Ok, so if I don't travel outside Canada that add-on would be pointless? (Just wanting to clarify so I understand correctly).

Re: $25 plan | April 1st, 2021

HALIMACS — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:34:52 GMT

@CanadianPerson0

The add-ons would only be useful if you are looking to call someone in another country while you're in Canada

Re: $25 plan | April 1st, 2021

CanadianPerson0 — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:34:54 GMT

So if I signup tomorrow I'm paying $25 (not counting autopay, etc). But come May I'd be paying $30/month (not counting autopay, etc)

The plan only includes usage while you're in Canada. The service won't work in any other coutnry other than the U.S., and for that, you'll need a roaming add-on.

LurganIeUk — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:35:49 GMT

@CanadianPerson0

For you the $5 500 minute Canada Wide add-on would be the ONLY one you would NOT ever buy.

Re: $25 plan | April 1st, 2021

CanadianPerson0 — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 02:35:58 GMT

So:

add-on for calling outside of Canada while in Canada

and

Roaming (calling someone while outside Canada)?
