CAN/US /MEX plans are finally here community

[Handy1]

As tile says CAN/US /MEX  plans have arrived community wow weeee have a look 👀 

Black Friday sales shaping up to be the best ever 

[Sunman001]

Correct. No roaming charges

[DennyCrane]

@Sunman001 Do you mean to say there are no roaming "charges"? The Can/US/Mex plans are roaming plans, and when you use the service in those countries you are roaming.

[Sunman001]

it includes long distance no matter where you are Canada US or Mexico, from and to. 

[Sunman001]

Yes, I am in Mexico and there is no roaming with that new 50gig plan 

[Sunman001]

I am in Los Cabos, Mecixo and there is AT&T and TELCEL, both work LTE speeds. good reception. 

[alegator_23]

What part of Mexico ?

How is the reception in Mexico ? What is the Roaming provider there?

How is the data usage, is mobile data working fast ?

[DJSSB]

+1 is the international country code for both Canada and USA and always has been.

[Sunman001]

i am in Mexico and I lost 4 days trying to figure out how to call OUT from Mexico into Canada.. 

REMEMBER to dial +1 then the canadian phone number with area code.. because just dialing the number does NOT work, nor does 001+ the number... you will save yourself a ton of grief.. just add +1 at the front.

Doesn’t Public select the provider automatically? I know when I used my AT&T in Canada, it would select the best signal.

Yes, of course, but manually choosing the network is a troubleshooting step.

[JimmyO23]

Doesn’t Public select the provider automatically? I know when I used my AT&T in Canada, it would select the best signal.

[DJSSB]

Just make sure you’re not choosing to roam now with AT&T 😂

[JimmyO23]

Awesome! Now I can get rid of the AT&T sim……people could only hear every third word anyway while I was in the States. 🤭🤣🤣

[JimmyO23]

It’s incredible the number of people I tell about the new plan that say, “nah, I’m good”. 

My pays $55 for 4 gbs. He said, “I don’t need the extra data”. I asked, “can you use the extra $240/year savings?”.

My brother pays $100!! And he said, “you get what you pay for”. 😳🙄

[DJSSB]

Correct with new the Can-USA-Mex plans 

no roaming fees in Can USA and now MEX

this includes local and long distance calls between these countries and within the countries. So keep that dual slim slot ready for when you travel overseas and further south than Mexico.

[JimmyO23]

Are you positive about using it while traveling in the US, Canada and Mexico with NO roaming? It reads that way to me but when you click on the details, the waters get muddy. 
I have been using a dual sim phone for years. I use my Public for the people with phones that charge for texts to the US and have an AT&T sim that allows use in Canada, US and Mexico.

[DennyCrane]

@DJSSB Ah yes, that's a different issue. There were some plans that included additional long distance minutes to other countries such as China and the UK (in addition to US/Mex). They saw the extra long distance minutes one one screen, but not on the screen where they went to change the plan on.

[DJSSB]

@DennyCrane OOh This LD includes to mobile or landline numbers?

I know many providers are restrictive for one or the other. Ie: charging more for Mobile numbers with Long Distance calls. 

Thanks again.

[DJSSB]

Thank you @DennyCrane 

Much appreciated,

I wasn’t sure because there was a post about not seeing LD minutes with these BF plans when activating so I was confused.
But that seems to be for a few other countries only.
Cheers.

[DennyCrane]

@DJSSB It includes any combination of the above. You can call all 3 countries from any of the 3 countries.

[DJSSB]

I just ported to PM from Fido for the $35/50 Can-US-MEX plan

5G and 50GB should be good.

Couple of questions;

1. Does this plan also include long distance to both USA or Mexico from Canada?
2. Or only local calling when you travel/while roaming?

Thanks!

[hTideGnow]

HI @Wm2 

calling from Canada or US or Mexico to Canada ro US or Mexico are included

but because 3G is decommissioned in US already, you can only make calls in US if you have a VoLTE phone that is whitelisted with PM.  Check the list here

[slusagm]

if you are talking about the roaming plan , then yes, the unlimited minutes included , you can call within the 3 countries for free, unlimited

[Wm2]

Does the unlimited minutes include long distance and roaming charges?

[MC_J]

I switched my daughter's Virginmobile (CAD45 with 75GB CAN) to PM (CAD35 with 50 CAN/US/MEX)..even with the lower data allocation, I think it is still a win. We can always switch to wifi and won't consume the 50GB...the US/MEX roaming is a huge plus. I was hoping for the 50% off 3 months, but well...this is still better.

[Smartby]

Same here! its stupid as its prepaid plans, shouldn't restrict this way!

[Genuine]

 https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/mb/plana9wzhuxpwpm?network=ALL does include the 500 long distance minutes for the $35 CAN US MEX plan, but when you select it, you have to login. And when you login, you will see the $35 CAN US MEX plan WITHOUT the 500 long distance minutes.

[Genuine]

The $35 plan is there for me, but the 500 Long distance minutes is NOT but the 500 minutes does show up at  https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/mb/plana9wzhuxpwpm?network=ALL 

[hTideGnow]

thanks @DennyCrane , yes, you are guys were correct, the LD minutes are not there

I am not too sure it just now included or PM missed putting it there.  I would be surprised they have have 2 different $35 roaming plans 

[DennyCrane]

@hTideGnow Does it show up with the LD minutes for you? I still saw the regular version without the 500min. I even cancelled my scheduled plan change to see if it would pop up, but I just got the regular version again. Makes me wonder if the 500 are there, but it just doesn't show on the plan change screen.

[hTideGnow]

hi @Genuine 

no, it is not for new activation only.  You link you posted didn't say that either

and this $35 plan shows up on some customers' My Account too

However, with the target marketing PM is using, not everyone got this plan.  There is bigger chance for people with $35 plan or under will see this $35 roaming plan
