The $10 Plan is the only way to go!

ohitora — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 23:14:43 GMT

Why would anyone choose any other plan then the $10 plan? Just get it and add on to it - for example in addition to the $8 add on for 200 long distance voice minutes. For only $30 gets you 1 GB of data that rolls over. You can use this almost for ever for texting and not rely on being near WIFI . Refer to info below——-

SMS text messages use 7-bit characters and have a maximum length of 160 characters, making the maximum data size of each SMS 1120 bits, or 140 bytes. If an average mp3 song from iTunes is 4 MB, a text message is 0.0001335 MB. Almost nothing.

While for you it may be worth-while, for anyone using that uses data constantly it would not be worth it. The data add-on is 30$ for only 1 gb. For 40$, you can get 4 gb, unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited texting. If you don't use much data, then this may work for you... otherwise, getting a plan that includes data already will be cheaper.

Yes ofcourse if one uses data for u-tube etc then your suggestion makes sense. However if one takes advandage of the Free WIFI available almost in every coffee shop and shopping plaza then the 1 GB could last for many months. Keep in mind that the add ons do not expire and do roll over free of charge.

1GB (or 1024MB) of data lets you send or receive about 1,000 emails and browse the Internet for about 20 hours every month.

If that's all you're doing, then that might be fine for you. But the numbers you provided will totally vary based on a multitude of different factors such as if the emails you send/receive have attachments, how you're browsing the internet, etc. I agree that if you don't use much data on a daily basis, the add-on might be worth it because it doesn't expire.

For the average user that does a bit more then simply check email and browse the web, but also uses some social media apps, getting the 10$ base plan with a 30$ 1gb data add-on is not worth it. This alone comes up to 40$, and for that price you can get 4gb of data with unlimited Canada-Wide calling and unlimited international texting.

What is wrong with this member? Why another new thread to the same topic?

@CS_Agentwithin a short time he opens random threads to the same topic clearly on the hunt for badges and bravos. He accepts his own thread as solution... That is definitely cheating the system. Members should never be allowed to accept their own comment as solution.

@ute1978 Wow, great catch! That is a definitely something that Public Mobile needs to look into to prevent from happening again moving forward.
