Hi,

Concerning the new Canada-US-Mexico plans, who is the roaming partner? (Telcel, Movistar,…)

Also, calls in Mexico to Mexico or calls in Mexico to Canada are included in these plans?

thanks!

I was just thinking of that. I used a friends referal link to create the first account but I dont think it worked?? I didnt see a $10 credit at all when I signed up the other day so I must have done it wrong? I did use my daughters phone, clicked his referal link then chose a subscription plan. Not sure why it didnt work.

@shewer  Yes the CAN/US/MEX plans are very popular and perfect snow bird plans to call to and from all 3 countries from all 3 countries using calling text and data with no additional roaming charge as roaming is built into the plan itself 

adding @shewer be sure to use your daughters refferal code to create second account with new email for your other daughter to reward both accounts and lower the bill for both accounts

Thanks!! I think I will switch my other daughters phone right now! She is on Telus with a call only plan with no data and has been asking for data forever. This will be very helpful in mexico if we get separated and can use the 2 plans to communicate. Telus daily roaming charges are expensive to add to everyones phones lol.

@shewer It includes it all. You can text to anywhere in the world from Mexico. You can call to Mexico, US, and Canada while in Mexico. You can call to Mexico from Canada etc. All of the above.

We are going to Mexico tomorrow and just got Public Mobile on my daughters phone. With this plan we can use data and make calls plus text without roaming charges?  or is it just text back to canada thats included?

Looks like one person has used this service in Mexico.  No concerns so far.

Using ATT as partner

It's included in the plan (no extra charges on top of the plan price) and it is unlimited.

@Dunkman good find! Nice to see they clarified that incoming text will work in Mexico without a roaming plan or add-on (for OTP in particular).

Side note, but I remember 15 or so years ago using about 8MB (not GB) of data in Mexico and receiving a bill for almost $500 😅 We've sure come A LONG way.

Here is some more information:

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/ab/get-help/articles/mex-subscription

According to FAQ, Public Mobile shares the same roaming partners in Mexico as TELUS. The specific provider you connect to will depend on your location and the available providers.

@miKe00 

On the calling question it should included similar to the current legacy CAN/US plan (ie: able to call the US while in CAN, and while in the US can call within the US and back to CAN).  Would presume the calling features including MEX are the same. PM hasn't updated any of their website info to include this yet.

@miKe00  AT&T is one for sure could be others but it’s the only one I know for sure that works so far as these plans are so new to public mobile

HI @miKe00 

No confirmation from anyone yet.  But people on Telus confirmed they roam using AT&T.  So, for sure AT&T is a roaming partner, not sure if more than that
