Canada US account

I have the $35 Can/Us talk and text plan that tells me I have used all of my US minutes when I try to call Puerto Rico when I have not used any US minutes. My account is paid up to date. My grand daughter also has the same problem. We both purchased this plan to travel this summer.

hi @LucyJean 

that is wrong

the Canada/US plan is a full plan and allows US calls from Canada

I have the same plan and I just called a US number from Canada without problem

if you have problem calling US, reboot your phone once and try again

if still fails, please open ticket with PM support

I finally got a definitive answer. The plan is not a true Canada/US plan as it only allows US calls to be made in the US. To call the US from Canada requires an add on (my Telus Can/US plan allows this with no add on).


hi @LucyJean 

this is not true.  you CAN call US from Canada as well.

I checked when purchasing and the plan covers PuertoRico.

I double checked my plan and it is the Can/US plan

@LucyJean   There were two $34 50GB plans a little while back, one was Canada-US and one was Canada only.  Have you verified in your account that you got the right one?

Puerto Rico is not the United States of America, so you will need the Add-On "300 International Long Distance Minutes" it is $15.00 you can purchase on the add-ons page.

Incorrect...customer is able to consider PR as part of US calling.


Are you sure about that?  The 300 minute international long distance add-on refers to Puerto Rico as being included in the list of countries covered by that add-on.  


Well, PR is part of US so I don't see why it isn't included....along with US Virgin Islands also.


It is kind of confusing when the international roaming add-on mentions Puerto Rico.  Customers could buy US minutes for Puerto Rico and save some money.  Anyway, I tried calling a Puerto Rico number and it worked on US minutes.  However, no such luck calling US Virgin Islands (area code 340).

It's apart of the plan, try restarting and calling again. If the issue persists contact CS agent via this link. https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/manage/shop/addons

HI @LucyJean 

it should be part of the roaming and you should be able to call.  Did you can by dialing 011-1-number?

Reboot phone and try again.  If that does not work, ask support agent to clarify
