@dude65 , it's someone else who has the limited minutes plan, not i.

[ccdevmike]

I think this type of business model works and is what people are looking for! 

[dude65]

@HALIMACS .... for some people, 100 mins in a month (to call out) is nothing. If your going to be doing that on a regular basis, you may want to upgrade the prepaid plan.

I've added the holiday gift of 2gbs of data to my account.  How long does that last? Just the month of December?

@AKingston  hi it stays on your account until all used up and only gets used when your normal allotment of data is used for your 30 day cycle 

[BeachNBeer]

@AKingston 

Stays on your account until it has all been used. No time limit to use.

This gift is the same as last years gift but with an additional 100 minutes. ie. it's the old 400 minute add-on.

Thanks @pm-smayer97  & @RossN   👍

I kinda figured they may have just lumped Canada in there hastily (i vaguely recall reading some earlier posts about the list not being exhaustive, etc, etc...)

Knowing some have already used it within Canada is great to know so I can inform a person I know on the $15 plan that they have that buffer without having to add the $5 - 500 min add-on.

---

@HALIMACS yes it's good to know, I wondered the same thing at first since I am in the same boat lol

Hi @RossN , while the general consensus is that is true (and i would think it is as well), I wonder if anyone has exceeded their minute limited plans to test this supposition for within-Canada calling?

---

YES many of us have... and YES it does work with local calls.

Does anyone know if the "500 free internal call minutes" include local calling minutes? I never do international calls, so I would only use it if it covers local minutes too.

@CD93 hi yes they can be used for local too!!

During these trying times, this generosity is much appreciated. I am so happy that, not only did I stumble upon Public Mobile, but that I took the chance to try your service out. 

Your community spirit & business model are unmatched & I am so grateful for all that you do. 

Kudos to all involved. \o/

The free data, etc... Are these add-ons valid for a month from the date of activation? And, will I have to cancel these add-on again, or will this be done automatically? Thanks.

Also, if a new person joins PM this month, do they get to have those add-ons too?

---

Yes, the add-ons are available to all customers. They do need to still be manually added. If they are not added at the time of activation (which they can be), these customers would still have until the end of the month to add them.

[bluejaywpg]

Also, if a new person joins PM this month, do they get to have those add-ons too?

I assume these add-ons never expire (time-wise) & will remain on everyone's accounts until they are used up (or the user leaves PM)?

You assume correctly.

[bluejaywpg]

That's awesome, thank you PM!!! 😄
