Province wide talk

Hilarium — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 19:40:35 GMT

Hi, BC here.

I have the unlimited province talk, global text, and 18GB data. Just wondering, what happens when I dial to a number outside the province, do I get charged long distance, or it won't even let me dial out of province since my plan is only unlimited province talk?

I was actually calling my bank at their 1800 number, and I was on hold for almost half an hour. I don't want to get charged for long distance for dialing that number.

Thanks.

As a prepaid provider you can’t call long distance without adding a LD add on. So no worries about overages or long distance charges.

Public Mobile is totally prepaid. There are no extra charges. You can buy an add-on for calling outside your province if you need to. If you have'nt purchased the service the call would not go through. All 1-800 numbers are toll-free so there is no charge for that either.

If you call to a regular number out of province and you do not have a long-distance add-on, the call will not go through.

You should be fine with calling any toll free numbers, they are exempted from province wide only calling
