Message said I don’t have long distance. My add-in’s show 200 of 205 minutes Canada and US long distance.
Also my plan has unlimited provincial talk.
What’s up?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Buying an add on is a 2 step process. You added the funds to your account. Now you need to back into self service and purchase the add on.
Here is a HDI:

My plan runs to June 25. Problems likely from renewal I'm guessing, Seems to be running ok now. I will check the plan you suggested when I am close to renewal.
Thanks

@watsonbd why don't you switch to the new $25 Canada wide plan. It's vastly superior. Here is an article on how to transfer your plan if you choose to. https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/change-your-plan . This plan below.

Right. So check that it was successful. Log in to your self-serve and check that it says Active next to Plan Status.
Edit: nvm on the 205 minutes. You probably re-bought the 200 minute add-on when you had 5 minutes left in the previous one.

My plan renewed today I believe.

Is your plan active? When does it renew?
205 minutes on the 200 minute add-on makes no sense. Did they gift you 5 minutes somewhere along the way?
Yes whatever province you're in, you should be able to call a number based in that province. Adding the 1 doesn't cost anything and avoids the message saying that long distance charges may apply (I know that's not your message).
Two things to try:
1. Try the lost/stolen feature.
Log in to self-serve. Plan & Add-Ons from top menu. Lost/Stolen Phone from next menu. Suspend Service button. Log out. Wait a few minutes. Log back in and back to Lost/Stolen Phone and Resume Service this time. Log out. Restart phone.
See what happens.
2. Manually add $1 into your account and restart the phone.

Check you account again. You may have used up your minutes. If there are no minutes remaining the you have depleted your minutes.

@watsonbd did you try dialing with 1 in front of the number? Also, please recheck the number and dial it again. Thanks.
