I’m in PEI with a 902 area code and IPhone 12 and when I change it to PEI on the PM page it always reverts back to some other province 

 

I’m sure it’s not life or death but it’s one of those pain in the rear things


@MurfeeMe  Ah yes, this does this to me as well. I kept trying to keep it to my province but it kept switching on me occasionally.

Yeah, I don't think it really matters what province your PM page is set to really.

 

Although Quebec used to be advertised with slightly different prices. But looking at that now, they seem the same as other provinces.

When it comes to cellular network network type, that doesn't have an effect on this website's settings.

Wouldn't a violin do better with the frequencies? 🤣

The regional setting is based on browser cache and not IP, i think.  I am able to change my region all the time and it stays without issue.

 

did you try another browser as well??

Maybe your cookies are not set, or you're using private/incognito mode.

Other than the occasional region specific promotion or plan (usually only Quebec will get these) the region the pm website is set to makes no difference. Mine usually reverts to Ontario for some reason despite being in bc.

 @MurfeeMe : There was a Quebec-only promo a while ago that was in English so it would seem that region may mean something. Or I have it wrong. It was a while ago.

@MurfeeMe   Are you asking about the Community page region?  That happens occasionally to me and it's nothing to really worry about as it doesn't affect anything.  Try clearing cache/cookies and use incognito/privacy mode or a another browser to see if it helps.

Is your phone number a 902 area code, or something different?

 

Public Mobile tends to operate out of the EST for most things
