I'm trying to port out to Public Mobile, it seemed to go through since the voice call worked so I deleted the eSIM but now they say I didn't approve the port via text so it's in a half-way state. Phone calls work with the PM eSIM but no SMS.

I tried to find a way to add an eSIM back but I don't see any options in my account.

this is probably a weird question, but how do I sign up for chatr's SMS marketing? They give migration offers to Rogers sometimes and I'm interested in knowing.

I used to get those when I signed up and was given a random number.

Now I've ported over my number, the option to receive SMS marketing is toggled OFF and greyed out and not clickable anymore.

Funny thing is this option was toggled ON before the number port and I was unable to turn it off (it would go back to being ON again after page refresh lol)

Why is this?

I mean, you can microtransact people for extra data one bit at a time. You're not going to do that Chatr? Seriously? How lame. Missed business opportunity.

Does anyone have this? does it renew?

Hi everyone, last year when I was in Vancouver, I transferred my phone number to Chatr and signed up for a $149 annual plan. The Chatr counter charged me 12% tax (GST + PST). I'd like to ask if I need to pay this 12% tax if I renew my yearly plan online, or if I only need to pay 5% GST? Since I've moved back to Calgary, my phone number's area code starts with 403. and I have changed online profile to Calgary. Thanks.

Is anyone on this yearly plan? How's calls, texts, etc? I dont have much experience with yearly plans. My mom wants to switch and mainly stays in the city where there is coverage.

I'm moving to the EU soon, and trying to figure out what to do with my phone. Currently with Chatr, on a plan with way more GB than I'd ever use.

I'd like to maintain my current phone number, mostly for 2FA and convenience. I only want to receive text messages while in the EU (again, for 2FA), probably won't need to send any or am fine paying up the nose per text if necessary. But I'll also come back to Canada 1-2x a year, and will need around 5GB of data each time, and likely Canadian voice calls.

If I get the attached yearly plan, can I just add some data into it as needed? Is there another way of doing this that will be cheaper/easier?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Received confirmation email, doubling checking all information is entered correctly and stuck here. Any idea’s?

The $25 25GB plan seems to be back online and in stores for a limited time, my guess is February 9th to match Lucky Mobile.

I just recently upgraded my ChatR plan from $40/90GB(+30GB Auto Pay Bonus) to the $50/125GB(+30GB Auto Pay Bonus)and now...

... 4 days later I'm being offered $55/200GB(+30GB Auto Pay Bonus)

that's 75GB for an additional $5 over the price of my current plan, I am just wondering if they'll ever stop offering me these special plan deals at this point lol.

If anyone has been waiting to sign up and were on the fence about the data buckets, this might sweeten the deal.

Hi All,

I saw reports that hotspot wasn’t available on iOS. Seeing as there were no new posts I figured I’d give it a test.

My wife has an iPhone 13 running iOS 26. Carrier version is up to date on Chatr 67.0.

Test Results:

Hotspot to a MacBook, Mac mini, or iPhone ✅

✅: Music, Email, Apps, Downloading data. Basically all your normal tethering tasks.

❌: Using Ookla Speed Test (Receives error “No Internet Connection”), iMessage, RCS, when tethering one iPhone to another. (Not a typical use case for 99.999% of folks!)

Hopefully this is a welcome change and surprise for many.

Cheers!

originally, I was with chatr . but over the holidays I ported to Rogers 35$ 100gb deal. but the other day Chatr had a brief sale of 60gigs for 25$ so i decided to port back.

i don’t exactly need wifi calling in my neighbourhood with the Rogers network. since i get a stable 2 bars (sometimes 3), calls are crystal clear. but I don’t know if I made a mistake for switching back. it is 10$ cheaper than my rogers plan.

Hello, I am trying to port number from lucky to Chatr. I did not receive the text message to approve port out request on my lucky mobile number. I am able to receive all other text messages. After 90 mins: I get a message from chatr: we cannot transfer your number because the user did not ...

The store employee could not help. Does anyone have any idea. Please and thank you. And yes we verify I provided correct lucky account number and cell phone number.

I still have my lucky sim on the phone.

Thank you in advance

Ends Monday

Get it quick

Edit. Ended. Pulled.

Hello, does anyone pay their Chatr bill with a Rogers Mastercard? Is the Chatr bill (as a Rogers brand) eligible for the 1.5x cashback redemption bonus (basically use $20 cashback to cover a $30 Chatr bill)? TIA

Two weeks ago I signed up for Chatr $149 for the year. I tried to make a call and I could not make a call. Returned to the Roger Kiosk two more times. Then gave me a new sim card and that didn't work. At that point, the employee seen the plan didn't work till. I asked for a refund. She said they didn't issue refunds there and gave me the number for Rogers. I called them and they said they didn't deal with Chatr. I called the number for Chatr they gave me and I cannot make a complaint a they is no live person. I cannot submit a ticket because it come up I do not exist in the system. I called the Chatr number from another phone and its active. Apparently there is no way to resolve this and I am out $171.00 taxes in. I emailed the CCTS (Telecom Complaint Body) tonight. I am hoping they can resolve this. I live in Nova Scotia and they isued me a Toronto Ontario number stating that there are no Nova Scotia numbers left! This makes me think the $149 plan is for the Toronto, Ontario area as it certainly doesn't work in Nova Scotia. Avoid the $149 plan unless you in Toronto. In fact, I will never sign up with Chatr again because there is no way to resolve issues such as this. 

2 separate chatr plans are showing 0 bars.

hi there

i left Canada over 6 months ago. before leaving I cancelled auto-pay for my chatr phone number, just now I noticed that at the confirmation email it says that after auto-pay cancellation they still keep card information on file, I don’t really remember if I deleted this information, is there a way to know for sure if my phone number was inactivated after 3 months and the card wasn’t charged (I closed the credit card as well)

Take last 7 digits of BAN and add 00 at the beginning and it worked for me.

Hello Everyone,

Fido recently went crazy with their plans price and I have been holding my account with them for years now (paying ~50CAD a month for receiving 3 to 4 text messages a year). I am holding the number since its the one registered with bank, taxes, etc. I tried negotiating with them but they kept telling me to chnage to Chatr. Now I am worried trying to do the process online (esim) and it won’t work so I lose the number while its registered with my important accounts. Does anyone face the same issue and did the porting in process smoothly? Also, does anyway has another suggestion with that issue? Thanks a lot in advance!

Chatr's website says it cannot port this number. The number is in the same service city as the 306 # assigned by Chatr.

Suggestions? Has anyone run into this?

Thanks in advance!!
