Text addon

Hi,

I just noticed that text addon is extremely expensive.

30 days/provice wide talk/no text/no data, $27

When you add text to same plan, it jumps up to $37, $10 for text!?

Hello!

Just don't see it as "add on". It's an optional option. If you need text on your plan, you select it. The $37 province wide calling and global texting can cost you next to nothing since you can get a lot of rewards. You can activate a 90 days plan too that can help you save more money. What about the service? You probably know that already, you'll get the best service. Go ahead and board quickly as the boat may take off soon.

cheers.

The I would take 30 days/province wide/text/1GB data and it's only $42. This means TEXT+DATA for $15 more.

Hi @TK;

You are correct, when you look at just adding text to talk it seems expensive, but Public Mobile plans really have the best value when you want all 3 talk, text and data. For example, if you have the same 30 days with prov talk and 1 GB data it costs $42, add text and it is still $42, so in that case text is "free".

@TK you can save a bit more by going with a 90-day plan:

30 days, Prov-wide talk, Global text, no data = $37 for 30 days, or $37.51 per calendar month

90 days, Prov-wide talk, Global text, no data = $106 for 90 days, or $35.82 per calendar month

You can get that even lower by signing up for auto-pay ($2 / 30 days discount), or referring some friends or family ($1 / 30 days per referred person with still active account).
