Hey guys love PM, the service, the price and everything! Just a suggestion. I have learnt that I can forward my calls to a number before I leave Canada to a local number and receive a call any where in the world as long as I can get that local number which I forwarded my PM number to work outside Canada. Whether its on another wireless provider roam package or fongo etc.
But when it comes to regular texting, the text sender does not receive a notice that their text message did not go through as subscriber unavailable or anything like that, to them I am just ignoring them unless they know I am outside country and text messages will not reach me. It would be great if PM subscribers can either set up a text forwarding to local numbers which I think would be difficult otherwise it would be offered by others as well but would it be possible to have a Auto Reply to incoming text saying whatever message the PM subscriber wants to let the senders know while outside Canada and the USA. If so, then that would be incredible!!!
No one would have any reason not to be with Public Mobile as when recommending PM to all whom I know, the number one reason is that how do we even see our text messages outside USA and Canada to contact the sender back with the local sim.
The solution I offer is that as long as all individuals messaging are on iOS and use imessage then I am assuming that my PM sim in an iphone with the airplane mode on and wifi on would receive all the imessages. Because that the case with my other wireless provider but conventional text messages will not. I recommend everyone to buy an iphone 😄 I know but not all senders have an iOS device!
