Will I be able to get a refund on the 3-month subscription if cancelled?

I've been a long time customer of Public Mobile but recently I had to get a new phone, leaving me not much choice but to leave the carrier. At the time, I was on Public Mobile's $109 for 90 days plan which I barely used (Dec 6 was when they charged me for the new cycle and I know I barely used the data the last time I checked). However, when the number ported at the store, my public mobile account was automatically shutdown leaving me unable to seek customer service support. 

I was wondering how or if I can get any of my money back at all. Now I know to never sign up for a 3 month plan.

Simple answer is - NO. PM is pre-paid service and once you paid you use it or lose it.

@hairbag1 @SuzieC unless she got the phone "included" with the new subscription at her new carrier

@SuzieC 

sorry to be the bearer of bad news ...but once you ported out, your PM account is automatically deactivated and you get zero refunds.
