This seems more likely to be a phone (device) issue. What device are you using? And can you try switching to another device temporarily to rule out device issues?

@Gillingsca

Can you switch to another device?

Also, does this disconnection happen regardless of what number you are calling? Does it happen on incoming calls as well?

Okay so switching to other phones has not fixed the issue. Next step is to try to figure out whether it's a coverage issue, and whether it applies to only 1 number, only outgoing or both incoming and outgoing on all numbers.

Last question...what level of coverage do you have where you are located? Has this problem occurred in other locations in your region as well?

@Gillingsca : What all is listed on the Plan Details page? Where are all these phones physically located? And where is the phone with US calls & text located?

I've heard of this issue if two USA roaming add-ons are purchased that both contain a TALK component. Ie TALK+TEXT, as well as TALK+TEXT+DATA.

If so, you may have to open a ticket with the CS Agents to remove one of them from your account.

It can also be confusing if you previously had a 10-day roaming add on that ran out - because you will not be able to purchase the same add-on again until 24 hours after the last one expired. It won't even show up as an option to select in the self-serve portal. If you need to re-buy the same add-on before that 24 hour "waiting" period, again you'd have to contact the CS agents to manually make that change.

Personally, I've had a lot of grief getting a ticket opened through the chat bot over the last week, so if you need to contact support, I recommend sending them a message directly using this link instead:

@Gillingsca

Since you are on roaming, it's quite possible that the issue lies with the US cellular provider. You can create a ticket with PM by sending a private message to @CS_Agent and they will do what they can to help you.

All the best!

@Gillingsca : Do you see multiple lines in the Plan Details page saying talk? Saying text? Do the other phones in the north also have these add-ons?

If you didn't inadvertently subscribe to TWO USA roaming add-ons, (or purchased a consecutive one within 24 hours of a previous one, you can try restarting your phone, or manually switching to a different wireless carrier. Public Mobile can roam on both T-Mobile, and AT&T. Whichever one of those you are currently connected to, try the other as well.

@Gillingsca

Did you mean 2 minutes and 30 seconds or 2 hours and 30 minutes? If it's the latter this has historically been a normal automatic cut off time for pm. You will have to just call your party back currently. I did notice recently that I was able to make a 4 hour call without getting cut off but they may still have the shorter limit on US roaming add ons.

I think that was 2 minutes and 30 sec not 2.5 hours.

If three different phones are doing the same call drop at different locations at exact time then it must be the network handshake issue. The provider PM is hiring for its Roaming Add-on is limiting the call.

Open a ticket with support agents and they can further look into it.

Are Texts working okay?
