When I try calling it hangs up and when someone calls me from a public mobile number it says you must upgrade to allow US calling. I've never left the town I'm in so clearly not in the US. When logged in it automatically topped me up from my preauthorized payment with out me trying to top up. It also took more money than I usually pay. Around $10 more and I never changed my plan.

@Kim60 ask them to call from their PM phone and see if it works 🙂
but serious, ask them to reprovision your account first

I have opened a ticket but so far I'm just being told the same things I've already tried

If you are unable to move our SIM into another phone try to perform a network reset on your device.
This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, VPN and APN settings, and connected Bluetooth devices that you've used before.
Iphone:
To Reset Network Settings, begin by opening the Settings app. Next, tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. and enter your passcode.
Your iPhone will reset network settings and restart itself.
android:
Find and tap Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset network settings.
No changes in the receiving phone or changing of devices by the call recipient can cause or fix an isusue with the caller hearing a message that a US roaming add-on is needed. This is entirely a Public Mobile-caused issue.

Your friend on PM, too? This is an issue on your friend side, nothing to do with calling you or not, please ask him to try putting 1 in front of the 10 digits. If it does not work, it is an issue that some people have too, will need to open ticket with PM support and ask them to refresh the account

Please login My Account again using incognito mode. Check the Payment history page ( https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/payment-history ) and see if it record that transaction. But remember, PM break the regular monthly charges into 2 different entries on Payment history. So a $25 plan will be broken dowin into: $10 (30-day plan) and $15 (1GB at 3G speed) Not sure if you got confused with that $10 part
