Calls to BC Mental Health Support

Rosalinda — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 21:25:16 GMT

According to the Health Link BC, mental health support is accessible by dialing 310-6789. When I try it, I get a message: "Public Mobile here. Your call cannot be completed as dialed."

I appreciate your help.

Is there no area code you must dial first?

EDIT: Area code not needed.

I've already submitted a support ticket. I was just wondering if the problem has been observed in Community.

Indeed it has, @Rosalinda

310 numbers don't require an area code - that's caused issues for Public Mobile.

They REALLY need to address that, especially as it relates to important services for people.

How long ago did you report this? If you don't get a proper response or it's not working with a time frame you think is acceptable, I would also let BC Mental Health be aware of this as they have channels of command to run this up to get it resolved faster.

I have read on this forum previously that 310 numbers don’t work for other cell phone companies as well. Someone did mention that if you add 1-866 before the 310 number it might work.

@HALIMACS - It has caused me havoc as well - 310 2255 (TELUS Support number). Get the same message of that it cannot be completed as dialled, but I would recommend to just call a department like 811 or another BC health department with a 1-800 or a 1-888 number, but try it on a TELUS phone (Corporate or non corporate) it still works.

@fixin1

I tried calling both the BC mental health and the Telus 310 numbers you posted and neither are accessible from a work device on the Bell network.

Not good.

THAT will be the day when pubicM fixes all issue they have.
- Updating credit card info
- Calling certain phone numbers
- Customers have no servcie in USA even if they have proper plan or add-on

Should I go on? How pubicM retains its customers is beyond me...

Dialing 1-866 before a 310 number isn't a fix. If it happens to work, this just happens to mean that the company has also paid to get the matching toll free number with the 866 area code. Unforutnately, that's not something that is automatic.

@Boki

I've never had an issue updating credit card information NOR using PM services in the USA, whether on the Canada-US plan or using available add-ons.

But yes, they've got issues which are dealt with at a snail's pace, that's for certain.
