Purchased Wrong Add-On

j9302275 — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 05:48:20 GMT

Hi Public Mobile,

I am a long time customer of yours. I recently purchased a US- Data Roaming add-on and I realized it wasn’t enough to cover my travel.

On December 27th, 2022, I tried to purchased additional add-on for the trip but I just realized I purchased the wrong add-on ( a Canadian data add-on, instead of US roaming add-on.

Could I please get helps on the wrong add-on purchase? Thank you.

@j9302275 @You will need agent help to get a refund on your account if you don’t use the add on

It's true that that Public Mobile does issue refunds for mistakenly purchased add-ons. However, I feel that these really should be seen as exceptions. Based on terms of service, there are no refunds, and customeres shouldn't expect refunds or credits in these types of instances.

While true, @computergeek541 , isn't that what customer support agents are (kinda) for? 🙂

A mistakenly purchased add-on, especially one that hasn't been used, can easily be removed and an equal credit applied to the available funds. I would think this need not be viewed as an 'exception', especially if a user is going to use the funds to purchase the intended add-on.

Now, if a customer is coming here, expecting to be refunded to their payment card, that's a different kettle of fish, and one where I fully agree in the 'no refunds' policy (unless the amount paid was exorbitant in value and clearly erroneous...).
