Brand new PMer!

bradp36 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:21:14 GMT

Woo hoo! Brand new Public Mobile-er (or is it Public Mobile-ite?) as of two hours ago. Everything is up and running aside from the fact that I'm receiving these annoying "Sorry, we do not offer text messaging outside of Canada." Based on other threads it looks like it might just go away on its own? At least I hope it does.

Hello @bradp36,

I am sorry you are receiving these texts.

Are you texts being sent anyways? Also, can you please try sending a text using +1(xxx)xxx-xxxx and see if the error message still appears?

Thanks,

Kenza

@Kenza_M Believe customer is referring to unsolicited SMS messages. Usually iPhone users being sent SMS from Apple servers trying to set up iMessage. http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Plans-Add-Ons/611-texts-keeps-repeating/m-p/42767#M4650

I'm able to send and receive texts alright. Just receiving that "Sorry...." text upsolicited. I have an LG G2 btw. Looks like that other thread was dealing with iPhones for the most part.

Yes, "original" bug seemed to affect only iPhones but it seems to have multiplied a little. It does seem to desist after a day or two.

Hi @bradp36,

I consulted my specialized dictionary.

It seems that subscribers are called "Public Mobilers."

Welcome to PM!

Hello @bradp36,

Have you tried power cycling your phone, it sometimes does miracles.

Also try taking the battery and SIM card out for a few seconds.

Do you receive this text after every single message?

Also as some public mobilers mentioned, it happened to other users but it went away on its own after a few days... Hopefully, this is what will happen.
