Here is the list of Short codes supported by PM. I think AM730 is there

What short codes are supported by Public Mobile? - Community

@Suemush

According to the Short List code from @hTideGnow, AM730 = 730730. You might want to try 730730 (instead of #730) to see if that works! 🙂

These short codes are always weird to me... 😀

actually, did you meant to actually call AM730?

The OP just said that #730 doesn't work @Anonymous... Can you confirm whether you've tried #730 and it works for you via Public Mobile?

Yes it doesn't work and I tried 730730 and it neither works. But Thanks I will use their full phone number! I was trying to find it but couldn't. Thank you!

@BlueB : Definitely interpretation things going on there....anywho...I tried *730, #730, *730730, #730730...none. I don't know where this is though so it could be a geographic restriction like toll-free's.

@Suemush

#730730 works.. but I have no traffic to report

@Suemush

Awseome! If the full phone number works (quickdial shortcut) then that's just as good. 🙂

@Anonymous Shortcodes are weird, like shortcuts on a computer- no matter what system, they can have unpredictable outcomes sometimes! lol Thanks for trying too for the OP!

Re: # numbers

hTideGnow — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 21:48:52 GMT

yes, i hate those shortcodes, too.. they like to say Call #xxx on your mobile..

what they never say is .. Call #xxx on rogers, call #yyy on telus.. call #zzz on Bell, and do not call if you are none of them.. 🤣

@hTideGnow : Are you in an over-the-air listening area of that radio station? (not online or Stingray)

Re: # numbers

hTideGnow — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 21:50:14 GMT

no.. I am in Ontario.. no idea of this station.. that's why i have no traffic to report.. 🤣

Re: # numbers

BlueB — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 21:52:11 GMT

@hTideGnow

Depending on where you are in Ontario, there is ALWAYS traffic to report!!! 🤣

To add to the annoyances of shortcodes, some shortcodes/carriers actually have a fee (like #TAXI I think?) that's not well disclosed until you see it on your account. Grrr.

@hTideGnow : Interesting. I guess listening area doesn't matter. But I can't connect with that number whereas you can. Oh well. Who knew AM radio stations were still in operation 🙂

lol it invites me to call *611 for customer care lol

Re: # numbers

hTideGnow — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 21:58:55 GMT

@Anonymous you can't connect or no one pickup ?

I called the first time, rang like 10 times and hung up, i thought it didn't work

Glad i didn't give up, tried 2nd time, and someone picked up.

Yeah, and some short codes can be mistaken for international calls. Was charged several dollars for calling a local pizza place with the short code several years ago with a different carrier. They refunded after troubleshooting what the call was...now I'll only use the full 1 800# instead. 😊

@hTideGnow

...exactly what did you say when somebody picked up? "Hi, I'm calling the Traffic Reporting line with no traffic to report?" 😶
