Which U.S. area codes are not supported in the U.S. Talk packages?

Hey Community,

As of December 8^th, 2016, calls made to the following six digit combinations will no longer be supported on any Talk plans and add-ons that include U.S. calling to:

State	Excluded areas after December 8th, 2016	Area codes
California	Reedley	559-726-XXXX
Iowa	Carroll	712-775-XXXX
	Lake Park	712-432-XXXX
	Charles City	641-552-XXXX
South Dakota	Redfield	605-475-XXXX
	Pine Ridge	605-562-XXXX
	Fort Thompsons	605-477-XXXX

It's really important that we offer our products and services to our customers at fair rates. Unfortunately, our agreement with our partners in the U.S. makes it extremely expensive to support calls made to these regions. In order to keep our Talk prices as they are, we had to make a difficult decision to exclude these numbers from our Talk packages.

We realize that this might be an inconvenience to some of you so we are exploring options that would bridge this gap.

Thank you,

Your Public Mobile Community team

curious if these same changes are taking place with Telus?  I would highly doubt it.

It's all very strange to me

The PM contract with this vendor must be billing out a more than 0.04 per minute - couldn't PM just charge folks that need to call to these locations double minutes vs blocking them all together - blocking the call altogether seems like a strange way to solve the problem - too many exceptions on where you can call and can not.  I guess folks will need to use fongo or google talk.

Who knows where's next

Not seeing this as the biggest deal, lets face it, Iowa and South Dakota?  Maybe if it was New York or something, but i can deal without all the corn from Iowa.

I assume the fine print allows you guys to do this? Do any other carriers have these problems? If not, I'm kinda disappointed in PM 😞

Wow this is insane, is this just a PM thing?

Boycott visiting these areas! j/k  Good to know, and also this must mean U.S. roaming will be here soon. The anticipation!
