There's no extra charges at Public Mobile. It'll only cost the plan amount or add-ons purchased.

@gp2   I think really you found your own solution to your issue:) 

Maybe one of the oracles will be able to mark your post as the solution because it's kind of frowned upon to mark your own solutions here.  Perhaps @Luddite  will accept your post as the solution if he gets a moment or two:)

@dabr In fact, you first made the suggestion. So, I moved it to the correct post.

Not too sure how this message thing is supposed to work....

You could bur why? The reason people do it is because there are some data-only plans that are cheaper than plans with voice.  If you're paying for voice, with forgo it?

Yes, if you have a cellular laptop that supports PM's frequencies AND you can configure its data connection correctly.

@gp2  As @dabr  mentioned just turn the hotspot setting on your device and make a note of the connection password then scan for networks on your laptop and connect to the hotspot and you should be able to access the internet on your laptop.

You should probably use the hotspotting feature of your phone instead to access the data on your laptop.
