I know some other phone providers have a feature where they send customers a text message with time and date of a missed call and I was wondering if Public Mobile has a similar notification feature to let us know if we missed any calls while our phone was off. Thanks!
This is a no frills provider. If the caller doesn't leave a voicemail the only place where you can see missed calls is the usage history in your self serve account. Having said that, and I need to double check in my call history, I don't think you will be able to retrieve the number of the caller.
Grrr, my whole text was just sent to nirwana - it sucks to participate in this community tonight!!!
Let's try this again:
Here's a sample calling history
- to be read from bottom to top
- the system records incoming or system initiated calls and texts in ET, calls initiated by the phone's dialer in local time
- red is my phone number, blue my friend's, the visible one is the voice mail number for my area
Context:
- when my friend called me at 10:52 PT my phone was not connected to a tower, the call went directly to voice mail without ringing on my phone. -> note that there is no indication of this being an incoming call, the system treats it as a call from my phone number to my voice mail!
- my phone reconnected to the tower at 10:54 PT and I got the voice mail notification
- checked my voice mail box at 10:55 PT
- returned my friend's call at 10:57 PT but since they were driving it went to their voice mail
- finally, at 11:03 PT my friend called me back and I was able to take the call
Conclusion:
If your phone is off or not connected to a tower for a bit, your self serve usage history will show missed calls. But, unless the person leaves a voice mail, you have no way knowing who called.
