Hi guys,

I am from Iran and as you know because of protesting all internet network in Iran is limited and I can not talk to my family over there. I saw that Telus made free to call to Iran and I know that public mobile is Telus's brand. I can not call my family with my public mobile sim cardwhat can I do now?

@Omidwise

Sorry, no free calling to call Iran even PM is a Telus brand.

PM is a prepaid service. Calling Long distance requires Long distance add-on but PM does not have add-on for calling Iran. 😞

you will need to use calling card instead

You can try an APP to call. Or use FaceTime if they have an apple product and Wifi.

You can also buy into voip.ms for $15 US and use zoiper app on your phone to call.

There is an option for a $10 referral too (for you).

The regime in Iran shutdown the internet. We can’t call our relatives with any kind of Apps.

That's right, Narges,

All companies make free to call Iran.

I don't know why the public did not do the same

These telecom providers have waived fees associated with texts and long-distance calls to Iran to allow Canadians to reach their loved ones:

Telus
Koodo
Rogers
Fido
Chatr
Bell
Shaw
Freedom Mobile
Vidéotron

This was after Minister, François-Philippe Champagne, praised various telecom companies on Twitter following their announcements. “The ability to communicate is essential for those taking a stand in the name of freedom and equality,” he tweeted.

DOES PUBLIC MOBILE SUPPORT THIS CHAMPAGNE?

I think just public mobile has not activated this option.

I am not aware of any change made by Public Mobile. It would be odd for Public Mobile to start allowing calls for no additional charge but to not announce it (which they haven't).

I tried once each to two different restaurants in Tehran. Once I got the chirpy Public lady. The second rang. I didn't let it complete. Nor did I watch if any international minutes were used.
