Public Mobile adds Unlimited Province wide calling to their plans

By on March 22, 2011 at 1:58pm in Mobile News, Public Mobile


Public Mobile has slightly shifted their plans around. In the $24 plan what’s updated is the addition of province wide calling plus the usual unlimited texting and call display. Gone is the $40/month plan and replaced with a permanent $35/month plan (no more 6 month promos) and this includes province wide calling, unlimited text, call display, call waiting, call forwarding, 3-way calling, voicemail and unlimited Canadian long distance. Specifically for the Province wide calling the fine print states that “Unlimited province-wide calls within the Unlimited Coverage Area”.

Pretty cheap plans and I believe these are the cheapest in Canada. We’re looking forward to their data plans launching.

    • This has nothing to do with Telus. Telus owns Koodo, not Public Mobile

  6. iBerry, the problem with Mobi is that they have the smallest home zone. They are still not even in Oakville/Burlington and they have been around as long as PM who have already made it out to Hamilton.

  7. What are you all talking about… Public Mobile roams on Telus’ CDMA.

    - phone can be used outside their network
    - phones work in Montréal

  8. It’s almost a year in Mike, I think they’ll be around for a bit.

    The problem with a lot of you guys who post on here is you think everybody’s needs are the same as yours.

    I like what Public is doing. hopefully they get some new phones soon.

    • Agreed! Public Mobile doesn’t have data yet, correct, but not everybody needs data. A great deal of the market is people with basic needs for basic phones and basic but beneficial plans, which is exactly what PM goes for.

  9. Hey i just want to understand this clearly, how does roaming work now? if i live in the province of quebec/ontario, shouldnt that mean its all included. well on their maps it only shows the zones and everything else is roaming..??

    • I think it means that when you are in public mobile home zones in GTA and GMA, you can make unlimited local calls province wide. When you are out of PMI coverage you roam on TELUS and you pay the per minute rate (15 cents I think?).

  10. Like to see the underdog win, funny how people on MS are not bashing them anymore. I have a phone with them for voice and kept my BB with Robbers, savings = about $45/month

  13. If u need any information to people who are public mobile customers, just dial *611 then call on your phone and they will explain how roaming works. Its pretty simple and the lowest price out there. To all the people who dislike us just watch what we have in store and when your shocked remember that i said this..

  14. Public hasn’t really enticed anyone to sign-up because their plans haven’t been better than Mobi/Wind, but this might help their case.

  15. If they had call waiting and call fowarding in their plans as well as caller id,they would have a somewhat have a competition with wind/mobilicity.
