I'm getting my first plan tomorrow. Weighed all the options and public is hands down the best. It even runs off Telus towers
@jamescrossley77846 ай бұрын
Public Mobile is very awesome. Only thing I don’t like is they don’t have a call centre everything based online through the community but other than that they run off of Telus 5G network where I live we have 5G as well as 4G LTE the plans are very nice and affordable for people. I’m currently on the 34 50unlimited Canada.

I had public mobile and I didn’t like it, it might save you money but the network or coverage area is not the greatest. I go to all different areas, big cities like Toronto to smaller cities or towns and public mobile works good in the GTA but in smaller towns not so good to almost no service and I’d be in Costco and no service in there as well. I’m not a fan of Bell because it’s the same problem with them, so I ended choosing Fido which is through Roger’s and I’ve had no problems with them unless network goes down which hasn’t happened too many times, I’m happy with them.

You might save $400 bucks a year but you won't be able to call Enmax at 310-2010 and you won't be able to call your customer service number at VISA - Public Mobile doesn't allow those calls to go through. This should be illegal. I even called the CRTC and they don't do anything. The entire telecom industry is corrupt.

Same for me ... I've switch a while ago... I just can't justify paying more than that... Cell phone prices were one of the big shocks of Canada coming from Europe (with Bank fees, car insurance, day care, ...). So overall we might pay less taxes here; but we just give more money to private companies ... :(

Yeah, I was surprised at how much data here costs, unbelievable! At first I was worried that I couldn't get by with so little data, but I've adjusted to it (it helps that I'm self-employed and thus have more flexibility to manage my cell phone usage!). My wallet is grateful for that! :)

Thanks for the video. Honestly speaking, there are better options out there where you can get a lot more with prepaid service. Example, freedom mobile offers unlimited talk/text and 30GB of data for 149/yr(average less than $15 per month) basically 2.5GB per month or the same plan with 15GB data for 119.00 per year. I am not a freedom sales person but sharing public information.

I opted to get a new-ish phone = 2 year until I own it... S21 at $5/mth. Hoping we'll see 5G data plans that offer unlimited DATA??? cut the cord... only in USA... ;(

My husband and I will arrive to Canada on April and I was considering PM as our cellphone plan carrier. They offer pre-paid plans and I think that's what confuses a lot of people, but in Latin America (where we are from) we use mainly that type of plans, therefore I'm used to that strategy and their prices are better suited for starting over in a new country. Thank you for talking about your experience 😊

Public mobile sucks. It is supposed to encourage competition in the wireless sector as per the federal government.. Unfortunately, it is operated by Telus and only a small list of phones can get into their 5G network. Yes, only the phones supported by Telus and they want you to buy those overpriced slower phones like Samsung, iPhone or Google pixel. This kind of BS only happens in Canada and I don't see that in Europe or Asia. I keep hearing Canadians tell me how great their Samsung and iPhones are. But wait, they never used another phone. That is how sad Canada is. Reminds me of living in North Korea where the government tells them how great being a citizen of the coutry.

And it's also true that public mobile has a system that allows you to reduce your bill from e.g. $15/month to $0 by referring friends and helping out in the community by answering question. So I do not accept your groundless accusation. Regarding the video being useless to you, no offense taken, not every video is useful to everyone.
