Calls to Pakistan

[DulvyR]

I recently upgraded to a plan in which I get 500 minutes every month to call Pakistan. Before this I had an add on for $15.00 for 750 minutes (no expiry)

I have noticed now that after upgrading, whenever I call a Pakistani cell number, the system says that it is turned off. Called many times, different numbers, but same answer. Then I have a Raza calling card app on my phone too, used it as soon as I was told repeatedly that the number was turned off, got through the first time.

is there a problem with the PM network connectivity to Pakistan? Because I have tried lots of times now and as soon as I get a power off message, I dial through Raza and get to talk to that person.

No the add on finished before I switched over to this package. 
it is the same thing if calling land lines or cell numbers.

The package I purchased has 500 minutes every month for Pakistan and India.

@DulvyR 

do you still have add-on minutes available in your account ? I wonder if there could be a conflict with add-on vs 500 minute plan minutes. Either way...only Customer Support can help you as previous suggestions have directed. Please let us know when this gets resolved.

I have saved all the numbers in the exact format that you mentioned. Never had any problem before when I was using the add on for $15.00 but when I upgraded to the new package, it has started giving me these power off messages and they are in the network automated voice and language from Jazz, Ufone and Warid, not from the Canadian networks.

Interesting.  Are you able to call Pakistan landlines?

Maybe try to reboot your phone if not tried already. 

Then a network reset of your phone (note: this will erase any saved Wifi passwords)

If that does not work, need to contact CSA for further help.

Hello @DulvyR 

This is a long shot but worth a try. Go into your settings, find Network Settings. Reset your network settings and reboot your phone. If this doesn't work, it seems Public Mobile needs to reset them on their end to resolve this. You can create a ticket down below. 

One thing I'd like to mention, are you 100% sure the package plan you purchased has Pakistan calling?
