Is there anything I should know before switching to #PublicMobile for 5G in #toronto — support surely can't be any worse than Rogers. Right?

If you are also on #PublicMobile & want to join me on calling up to slay fascists over the phone & don't have enough minutes - I'm willing to send you extra credits to make the calls.

Hey #Canadian #Mobile users - Has anyone got good or bad things to say about #PublicMobile? I am just considering signing up with them.

I can only send & receive text but can't make or accept any voice phone calls until #PublicMobile figures out WTF happened to my phone service. The last call I made was Thursday at 2:05pm. Phonecall service stopped by time we got to suite at 4pm. They only offer online CSA & it's not helped to resolve the problems with my phone service. I'm not in a low reception area. I'm not overdue on my account.

The fact that #Rogers charges $12/day for US roaming is absolute insanity to me. Considering with #PublicMobile I pay half of what the family does and get *free* US talk, text and data included.
Oh well, I guess I'll just laugh all the way to the bank on this one. My family doesn't want to switch.

If you're not happy with your cellular carrier and you live in Canada, it might be worth switching to #PublicMobile. They have a promotion going on at the moment. 50 GB of data available in both Canada and the US without roaming charges for $34/month. I upgraded from another promotion and I'm not seeing an increase in price at all.
Plus, get $10 off your first month with my referral code.

Le site web de #PublicMobile c'est lent comme de la mélasse à soir.. tout le monde veut profiter des offres assez incroyables du vendredi fou.
