PC Mobile Prepaid - Question - Unused Pre paid Balance

They have ANYTIME plans where a $ 100 Top Up Voucher validity is for 365 days.

Does the unused balance carry forward, if you put $ 100 more before the 365 days expire and extend it for 365 days more ? i.e everytime you increase the validity with more top ups, will the previous unused balance get added on & carry forward. TIA.

What do they mean by local calling? Maybe I missed it on their website.

Instead of asking strangers on a public forum on what the answer is, for many reasons it's best that you should contact PC Mobile directly instead.

Yes. http://www.pcmobile.ca/prepaid_topup.jsp " Top up before your current account credit balance expires and it will carry forward." Most pre-paid accounts work that way.

Amerifriend threads need to include instructions on how to acquire an amerifriend.

That's what the used to do (carry forward leftover balances as long as you renew before expiry) but now that Rogers has put a cap on the balance, I am sure other carries will follow suit .. if they have not already.

How much is the Rogers cap? I usually top up on PC Mobile when my balance gets below $50, and I use a $100 top-up, so it's routine to have a balance that is at or just under $150.

It was $150 according to the initial executive order . I haven't seen any updates so I assume it's still at $150.

20 cents per minute to call within your area code. Everything else is long distance at a cost of 40 cents per minute

Just say for example;

- You currently have a balance of $25, with an expiry date of June 21, 2018.
- If you added a $100 Top Up Voucher to your account today (February 9th, 2018), you would now have a balance of $125, with a new expiry date of February 9th, 2019.
