Thanks for BKNS27, Last week, I have sent a ticket to  A Customer Support Agent,  but until now, it's didn't get any response.

Interestingly @Alice59 , Public Mobile's terms and conditions for US Roaming reads:

7 US Roaming speed and signal strength may vary with your device, configuration, Internet traffic, environmental conditions, our partner’s applicable network management, the base subscription plan you have purchased and other factors.

They do not specifically state the service does not work in Alaska. It is because T-Mobile (the network Public Mobile utilizes when roaming) deals with AT&T in Alaska to provide T-Mobile subscribers there with service.

Instead of Public Mobile just outright stating "SERVICE DOES NOT WORK IN ALASKA", they instead shroud the terms with phrases like "our partner's applicable network management" and "other factors"

They ought to just state it clearly for those wishing to utilize it in Alaska.

as a rule, PM doesn't do refunds BUT...if you ask nice they may credit your account for the add-on that didn't work while in Alaska. Use this link to start a conversation with the CSA...but ask nice !!

You should have read all the posts about Add-on for Alaska.

It doesn’t work in Alaska because there are no T-Mobile towers in Alaska.

Just private message a CS_Agent for a refund by clicking on the envelope icon on your computer.
