@Dumb1

is mean you can make a call anywhere in Canada.

at public mobile 30 day Prepaid Service No fees extra charges..

To get the obvious out of the way...you used ( +1 or 1 ) in front of the any area code,

for Example long distance in canada or from USA,, Add (+1 or 1 ) in front of the any area code,
1416xxxxxxx,
or
+1416xxxxxxx,
both is will going through your call...

Good luck and enjoy the service..

If anyone does not have the unlimited Canada wide calling included in their plan (like $15 plan) then it is useful to call Canada wide unlimited minutes. If one has the unlimited calling minutes plan then this add-on is not for them.

You are quite correct. ONLY those with $15 plan (or any grandfathered plan without unlimited Canada wide calls) can benefit buying this add-on. For everybody else it is free and included in they plan!

@Dumb1 - Unlimited Canada-Wide Minutes means you can call any time of day anywhere in Canada, while you are also in Canada.

There were also plans activated in early 2021 when Provincial ONLY plans were the only option for a period of time. These plans would require a Canada-Wide addon to call outside of their province. Or, better yet, these customers should probably change their plan to the current InMarket plans with Canada Wide Calling included.

You Subject says Long Distance calling, were you referring to only Canada calls? Because some addons (some freebies given away by Public Mobile, for example) include both Canada, USA, and other selected countries.

Can we be clear, anywhere? In Canada. How about if I was in the NWT, can I call from there?

@Dumb1 : Scroll down to all the footer stuff and click Coverage map. Locate where you might need service and see if it's covered.

Tuktoyaktuk has limited coverage.

Wikipedia says 898 people. I'd say having the coverage they have is respectable. At least they're present.

As long as one includes a 1 plus area code, then telephone number one can call across network system in Canada.
