No if you had redeemed the free 400 international minutes add-on.

welcome to PM. There are no incoming charges for data and calls unless you are on a data only plan.

@Sunshine-754  No, you will not be charged long distance. Public allows you to send texts to any international dedtination for free.

@Sunshine-754  Public treats all texts the same so there isn't a difference between a local or an international text.

You can recieve and send international texts and there's no additional costs.

Hello Sunshine-754,

 

I believe that all plans can text internationally except for the data only plan as long as you are connected to the Telus/Public Mobile network when texting that particular number.

 

Hope this helps!

International texting is free with Public Mobile.
But long- distance international calling is not free and requires an Add-On. You won't be able to make a call without it.

Make sure to Add the 1Gb free holiday Data Add-On and 400 mins International Talk add-On.
