Service termination

user2020 — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 08:14:32 GMT

Hi, Moving to the US and just added a US roaming. Then the payment prompted to make another payment at my current rate for the plan to be renewed at the next cycle in the upcoming month. I thought I was making an overdue payment, not a balance top-up since I'll stop using my service even before my current plan expires. So, what happens to the payment I made?

I don't think the system should have prompted me to renew my plan while there's more than 3 weeks left for my current plan to expire.

I think I should get a refund.

The overpayment would remain as a credit in your account. You could submit a ticket to a CSA to request a refund.

Do you mean you purchased a USA 10-day Roaming ADDON, OR

did you upgrade to the $50 Plan?

The $50 Plan is for use ONLY while you are in Canada.

But you can make calls TO the USA while in Canada.

It almost sounds like you did an immediate plan change thinking you could use this plan when you move to the USA.

If so, Public Mobile service only works in USA with Roaming ADDONS that last 10 day intervals.

If you are moving to the USA, Public Mobile service would not be very beneficial for you. Unless this is just a visit for a shorter period.

If I misunderstood the situation, please let me know.

Like others, I would suggest contacting a CS Agent (staff) to look into it. Officially, Public Mobile does not give refunds, however given your situation, it doesn't hurt to ask. Refunds could take several weeks, so just have that in mind.

On a similar note, if you're moving there permanently, having a Canadian-based service provider no longer really makes sense. However, if the phone number is still important (eg. family calls you all the time), then you may want to hang on to it. In that case, I would port the number to a virtual/VoIP provider and forward those calls to your "new" US number or load a VoIP app to get phones on your phone. 🙂
