Hi. I have at least 1000 International Long-Distance minutes that are unused. Today, someone I know unexpectedly dialed my cell. Time flew and all of a sudden, I was cut off only to receive a text message from PM informing me that I had 10 minutes left in my conversation. Not sure when I'll get around to using my long-distance minutes although I do know people I can call in the US. I think it's inappropriate to cut me off being that I have more than enough minutes. What I get from this experience is that in addition to PM rate increase, I'll have to stop answering my mobile phone which defeats the purpose of having one.
Long distance minutes at Public Mobile are unrelated to the ability to receive phone calls. Answering a call doesn't use up long distance minutes at this carrier (unless you have a plan that doesn't include unlimited incoming calls and that's only the case with some long distance add-ons). Does your plan include unlimted calling?
As for the part about being able to use international minutes to call locally. If you have one of the plans that only includes 50 or 100 minutes, this depends on which add-on you are asking about. Some can be used as local minutes while some cannot. If you bought the international long distance minutes (or if it's included in a plan), those minutes cannot be used for local calls. However, international long distance minutes given to customers for free by Public Mobile can be used to make local calls.
