$40 4GB data unlimited Talk/Text Public Mobile

Just made the switch today. Great plan offered by Public Mobile.

Prepay $120 for 90 days to get unlimited province wide talk and unlimited international text and 12GB of data which works out to $40/month with 4GB/month.

Use auto-pay to save $2/month

For each person you refer, save another $1/month


Used to be on Rogers Corp plan but due to price increase, this new plan was a no brainer to switch over.

How is the coverage with Public Mobile? This kind of intrigues me to switch over from my Wind 10GB $40 plan

Telus coverage.

Here's a huge thread from redflagdeals that has all the answers to most questions in the OP.

I've only used Rogers and Telus and they are pretty similar. Public Mobile is owned by Telus

Don't know much about Wind coverage but heard from friends it isn't that good compared to the Big 3.

From what i read, promo plans are grandfathered as long as you keep renewing it.

Damn. 12.5 years of Fido loyalty and they didn't give me anything either. I even had 300 fido dollars that expired on me. I thought I had it rough but never mind.

After 90 days, you repeat and prepay for another 90 days.

Unfortunately deal applies to province wide Talk. For canada wide, you can buy long distance add on.

You wont be able to receive calls outside your home province.

So after 90 days, you pay $120/90 days and so on forever?

EDIT : nevermind read more, will be grandfathered as long as you're a customer and renew prior to 90 days.

Correct, grandfathered as long as you're a customer and renew.

Best to set to autopay or have enough in balance so that it renews by itself.


If you forget, there may be some leeway but I wouldn't chance it. Set to Autopay and don't have to worry come renewal time

I don't even think you have to formally cancel with rogers. I think what happens is once you send over that port number request, they'll be the one to tell rogers you're cancelling and you'll just get a final bill from rogers, typically a prorated amount of your monthly bill

This was a little worrisome to me, but the nice thing is that you can buy a long distance package, and apparently, it just stays on your plan until you use up the minutes.
Usually when I get a call when I'm out of province, I call them back on some local/internet line anyways. So in theory, one LD package should last me... forever.

Oh wow I thought it was only for the first 90 days and then you're screwed. But if you can renew that is pretty sweet. I'm on the Koodo $48 though but this would work well for my parents!
