400 min Intl Long Distance (Incl Canada & US) - $15.00

[ecowen]

I just want to make sure that I've got this right.  I understand that this add on,

"400 min Intl Long Distance (Incl Canada & US) - $15.00", does not include roaming, so unused minutes will roll over every month until used up.

@ecowenNo you can't Public Mobile doesn't offer phone service outside Canada (and US with appropriate US Roaming add on)

[ecowen]

So, with this planm, can I place a call FROM Mexico to Canada?

I didn't realize until you posted this that the $15 plan was the only one that included calling from Canada to countries beyond Canada/US. I thought the only difference between the two was a slightly better rate when investing $15 rather than $8. Thanks for highlighting the difference.

So depending why you are looking at the $15 add on, May I suggest. (1 cent/min.)

To cover your USA calls (4 cent/min.)

To cover the balance of any other available long distance calling. (3.75 cent/min.)

This combination would keep your costs down. And of course all or our needs are different you may select a different combination. But don’t overbuy if you don’t need. 

I planned to buy:

2 x $5 plan (2 x 500 minutes)(1 cent/min.)

1 x $8 plan (200 minutes) (4 cent/min.)

1 x $15 plan BUT only, and unlikely, had to have that service on my cell phone (400 min.) (3.75 cent/min.)

=======

$33 Total

BUT NOW AFTER DOING SOME QUICK MATH AT COST PER MINUTE (for $8 and $15 plan) IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO DO:

2 x $5 plan (2 x 500 minutes) (1 cent/min.)

1 x $15 plan (400 min.) this gives you full calling LD including USA, Canada and                 International for less cost per minute than using the $8 plan. (3.75 cent/min.)

=======

$25  Total

Thanks PM that rate structure is certainly well thought out and benefits your customers.

All Canada data and talk add-ons stay on until consumed. Buy once, consume over time. Only the roaming add-ons have a limit.

You have it right.
