Question for Fellow Samsung owners purchasing Add-on's with Public Mobile!
I am purchasing an add-on to use 1GB of data strictly in the USA for 3 days, however I am unclear if I have to enable airplane mode on my Samsung S8 or not?
If not, what happens if someone tries to call/text me and I do not pickup the call would I be subjected to charges?

You would need a talk add-on in order to make and receive calls.
U.S. Talk, Text and 250 MB Data bundle: $20
U.S. Talk and Text Bundle: $15
U.S. Talk Only: $8
U.S. Text Only: $8
U.S. Data Only: 250MB for $10, 500MB for $15, 1GB for $20

How do you suppose the add-on would work if you were in airplane mode? 🙂
There are no surprise charges here.
You may very well receive those calls and texts. You can't call out or reply without another add-on.

@bpiprah You need to turn roaming on for you US Data roaming add-on to work in the US. Public Mobile is a strictly prepaid service provider so no overage charges ever. No need to put you phone in airplane mode.
