$25 “Unlimited Talk & Text”. Is this real?

[JayEs]

Hi, I currently have $25/month “Unlimited Province-wide Talk & 100 International Texts” with Chatr” and I am planning on switching to $25 “Unlimited Talk & Text” with Public Mobile.

I am wondering if somebody can comment on whether I am overlooking something for my reasons why I plan on switching to Public Mobile.

A few things that irk me with my current Chatr plan is: 1) 25 cents/minute to check voice-mail no matter where I am, 2) Only 100 texts/month (40 cents for additional texts), 3) no MMS at all, 4) having to constantly pay attention to ‘zones’ wherever I am.

A few reasons why I think Public’s “Unlimited Talk & Text” plan seems attractive to me: 1) province-wide talk means that I can call anybody in Ontario while I am anywhere in Ontario and not worry about any ‘zones’, 2) no charge to check voice-mail 3) unlimited texts, 4) MMS is actually available and unlimited while being sent from Canada, 5) The various rewards.

Is it just me or is this too good to be true? I mean, why would anybody use Chatr’s $25 plan when Public’s seems better in almost every way. I do understand that I will need an add-on for texting when I go to the US that’s a minor detail.

Yes, it is actually $75 per 90 days and less $6 if you enable AutoPay. The features you have listed are all correct. I think you should move to PM and you will love it. The catch is that there is no phone support offered by PM. We use this community to contact mods for any account related issues.

The example used in the plan section is actually the 30 day plan.  The fine print is that it's $25 with auto pay.  The 90 day option is $2 less, so $23 with auto pay.  For basic talk and text plans, Public Mobile is competitive.

Yes, the talk and text is unlimited.  There are no zones which is a weakness of chatr.
