Test number.

I need to do some test calls on my PM account.  I tried TextNow……but…watching a commercial about an unwanted app doesn’t help me. Any other apps that are free, that have a free and real number? Any suggestions?

Goodbye Public Mobile

Public mobile has worked well for me for the past five years, and the lack of features was easy to justify with the low cost.  When public mobile changed the rewards system, my bill more than doubled (although there is the bill credit you can apply e...

What has happened to Public Mobile?

Public Mobile is a shell of its former self. There is nothing to distinguish this tier 3 mobile service from its competition. With the removal of autopay rewards, loyalty rewards and the cheap mobility plans there is nothing left. Their $15 plan was ...

Reassessing my needs.

Right now I have 3 PM accounts. Two are cell phones. Rarely used but now a day to day necessity. Even if you are elderly. We can accept that and are able to keep up with technology. What’s hard,  is the expense. One is our land line. And it does not ...
