3g usage fee

[missyprim]

I have a new Samsung S26 5G phone, but am still being charged the 3g usage fee. I checked the IMEI and it says it is not supported. My husband has a Samsung A36 5G, which is supported.  Can someone explain what is going on?

Shouldn't get charged for the first payment cycle either tbh. It's a bs cash grab

OK! Thank you.

They just have to update their VoLTE compatible whitelist of approved devices. It seems members with the new iPhone 17 are also having the same issue.

The newer Samsung and iPhone phones are compatible.

[missyprim]

So Public Mobile should be able to make it compatible?

It has been just under a month.

Contact a CS_Agent for a credit because PM VoLTE is probably not updated. It should be VoLTE compatible.

When did you change your phone? It usually takes about 30 days for your new phones IME information to be loaded up to Public mobile system.  I believe that that information gets uploaded once per month. You should not get charged at next payment cycle.
