Got it thanks guys and what about data coverage.. i know Data coverage has no restriction but it will work in USA too? because i frequantly visit NYC. and I need GPS there.


Currently, Public Mobile doesn't offer roaming anywhere. They do plan to, but it hasn't started yet (and when it does,  it will cost extra obviously).

You don't have to sign back up again.  As mentioned, you could keep your Ontario number, but whenever anyone calls while you are in your new province, your phone won't ring (unless you have a Canada-wide long distance add-on).  Also people who are in your new province would have to pay long distance charges to your Ontario city to call you.

 

The fastest/easisest thing would be to just change your phone number to one that is local to your new home.

You can keep the 120 promo package. But you will lost province wide call if you want to keep your ON area code.

You can always switch your number to another area code at self service portal. It is free.

you can make calls in what ever province you are in it doens't matter your home province.   if you are not in your home province you will not be able to receive calls (unless you have a long distance plan.

 

You can change your tel number in self serve. click plans and addons then change phone number.  ( you can choose province and local call area.

I believe you need to change your number first (your area code)

in order to get the province wide call

 

otherwise it would the same as making a call to other province (Long distance call)

 

correct me if I'm wrong please

 

because I'm actaully moving to other province next year.

Wherever you stay, you can use unlimited call option in the province. That means unlimited province-wide option included in 120 promo package.
