If i do jot get the service i expect and a refund will stop using them i guess

@lalasRight, sad for me to say but public mobile is not only not competitive, they are the absolute highest priced. I have lost countless referral opportunities due to this. It would be too bad to lose another customer, @Brooke_C are we ever going to see an unlimited text plan, that allows add-on minutes for under $25? Competitive response time?

$15 unlimited sms + 50 minutes?

$15 unlimited sms + 5 minutes provincial calling?

$15 unlimited sms + 0 minutes but allow add-on LD minutes?

There is this sweet spot right between $10 and $15 begging to exist.

This one of the many strange quirks of the Public Mobile system, but you're right.  In my opinion, the self-serve system shouldn't allow you to purcahse it.

Is there a plan for unlimited text and pay as you use mins where i purchase lets say 250 minutes

@lalasNot at public mobile. Public mobile is the most expensive provider in Canada to provide a base plan that includes unlimited texting plan. This has been discussed and brought up many times

See this post by me complaining about this issue.

@lalasThe only way you can get a refund is to contact the moderator team. Click this to send them a message.

You may want to consider switching to the $10 limited plan for 50min/50texts then using a free 3rd party messenger program. Then you can use the add-on and cut your bill in half.

Or spend $5 more per month, get unlimited provincial talk in the plan and use the 200 min for outside province/long distance

@lalas, the unlimited txt has no calling features.  You will need to change your plan if you wish calling.  The addons for voice calls is only usable with a base calling plan.

@lalasYou need talk in your base plan, to use a talk add-on.

When you spend $20 in the plan builder for unlimited text only, you can't add talk by means of add-on. I know its silly but thats the rules.

(5) Add-Ons are only available for use with an active plan. Long Distance Add-Ons require a monthly talk feature on the rate plan.
