International call Add-on not working, want refund

I'm currently in a foreign country, and since I bought an Add-on I thought I was covered. Unfortunately, no, I don't have any signal on my phone and I couldn't receive text messages or calls at all.

Is there any way to make my add-on work? If not, since I never used it, can I get a refund?

@kdduna , the Canadian long distance add-ons are for placing long distance calls from Canada to those countries.

USA is the only country that you can use Public Mobile services outside of Canada & that’s only if you have a Canada/US Plan or US Roaming add-ons. Sorry.

Edit: Please use the link that @softech provided to submit a ticket to CS_Agent and explain the situation to ask for a refund. It was an honest mistake.

@kdduna - PM only supports Canada and the USA along with US / British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska.

If you are outside there, you will not get service - even for 2FA codes.

If you accidentally bought the International Calling add-on as if you thought that you can get service there, please contact CS_Agent for getting a credit to your account.

Also use TextNow + a local SIM card or eSIM like Airalo for data.
