Text Message plan

Hi everyone.

I'm new to Public mobile and have a question that you might be able to answer.

If I don't get a text plan, do I still receive text messages? If yes, is there any charge for receiving text?

If I don't have text plan, how much will it be if I sent a text message?

If you don't have text in your plan, you will NOT receive or send text. There are no texting add-on or additional texting services offered by Public Mobile.

@aramex1122 welcome to the community, and thanks for your interest in Public Mobile (PM).

The way PM operates is entirely pre-paid. You select the services you want, and pay for them up-front. Anything you don't select and pay for, you just don't get. So if you don't select a texting option, you will not receive any messages, nor be able to send them. This means you'll never get a surprise charge at some later date.

Do note that the more services you do select, the bigger the discount becomes on your overall plan cost. For example, on a 90-day plan, if you choose only one service (say, ONLY talk, or ONLY text, or ONLY data), then you get no discount; if you add a second service (talk + text, talk + data, text + data), then you get a $15/90 day discount on the plan cost. Adding a 3rd service (so all 3) brings that discount up to $60/90 days. So you really get the best value in selecting 2 or ideally all 3 services. Experiment a bit in the plan page (https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans), and you may find that the plan you want is as cheap or even cheaper when you include texting than if you don't.
