I've been a Public Mobile user since the old rewards scheme, where occasional "gift add-ons" did not expire. For me this was very practical; having a few gigabytes of bonus add-ons in reserve meant I don't run out of data even at the scrimpy 250MB I...

Wife and I both have these. She's more affected than I am, that indicated mobile signal strength goes to zero bars (while in good coverage) and calls and text messages don't come in. Rebooting the phone for sure fixes this, possibly toggling airpl...

I'm currently on the legacy cheapskate plan, recently costing me, I think, $16.95/month but with an anual $10 "gift" or something. Suits me fine, but the 250MB/month is not enough any more to leave mobile data on - the Google mothership sucks up mos...

These phones are capped at Android 13, and that is installed. They still get semi-annual "security" updates and I wish they didn't, because they used to be rock solid and now aren't.

I was wondering because it says I used 0.51GB this month so of course the assumption was the 0.29GB off the add-on was also used this month. Is that not so?

So it's a straight $4/month pre-tax upgrade. $15 before, $19 after, same points scheme. And with unlimited calling by the looks of it (existing unlimited incoming/100min outgoing was never an issue for me).

I meant $16.95 after tax of course. Existing plan works out to, I think, $13.50 pre tax with the annual "gift" averaged in, so I'd be paying $4.55 more per month pre tax. Right?
