Public Mobile launches Unlimited Music service called “Siren”

By on August 14, 2012 at 11:03am in Featured, Mobile News, Public Mobile


Unlimited music is about to hit Public Mobile. Officially dubbed by the name of “Siren,” powered by Livewire Mobile and backed by heavyweights in the music industry: Universal, Sony Music and Warner. Siren is an app that will be available on August 16th to all current or new Public Mobile customers who have an Android device – all other devices are not eligible for the service, which also means they are betting big on customers adopting Android handsets.

The Unlimited music service has been bundled into their Unlimited Talk, Text and Data offering and can be had for $40 per month (includes call display, call waiting, call forwarding and 3-way calling). If you want to spend a bit more, the $47 per month plan includes Voice mail and unlimited Canadian long distance. These prices are both “introductory prices” and will probably jump up to $50/month, and $57/month within weeks. Public states that you can download all the songs you want, they’ll get saved to your microSD card, and requires no data connection so you can listed to your music “anytime you want everywhere you go.”

There seems to be a decent selection of music from various genres and artists. The current list of available songs is upward of 1 million, but Alec Krstajic, CEO of Public Mobile, said that when they sign up all the independent bands the song base will increase to 5 million, this should happy by “late September, early October.”

  2. I think Public Mobile should be cheaper compare to Wind and Mobilicity due to their old CDMA network – now they are the most expensive from these three.

  6. WIND and Mobilicity should tie up with RDIO or Spotify and give those services for a subsidized charge. RDIO runs to 10$ a month now, they shld offer it as a 7$ add on. Will increase the customer base for RDIO and push more users to their 40$ plan instead of 25$ plan for WIND.

    • Maybe, but I’ll wait and see until someone with the service can confirm… cant imagine a music service without the latest hits. Mind you netflix has minimal new content…

  10. Woo! I love my Public Mobile phone and I can’t wait for Siren. The service I’ve received from Public has been unparalleled by any of the other providers – I’ve been with Wind, Koodo, Rogers and Telus.

  11. Its ok but i dont think it will last long. I find it to be too expensive when Itunes offer more varieties of music. They just need to work on getting better phones.

  12. Why are all of public mobile’s phones so ugly? They all have huge unnecessary ‘PUBLIC’ branding on them. I took one look at the phones and was turned off instantly, without even looking at the plans!

  19. I love how some people don`t like the negative comments. Honestly, when I`m in the middle of Montreal and I can`t send a text because I have no bars or can`t connect to the internet because there is no connection. And when I`ve had issues I go back to the store that I purchased my phone and the only thing I get as an answer is I don`t know it`s frustrating!

    • Funny, whenever I go home to Montreal, I have no issues whatsoever with signal. If you’re in the basement of the SunLife building, even a satellite phone won’t reach you…lol

  20. Siren is for clueless noobs who don’t know how to download music for free on torrent sites. I have a massive collection, over 8 terabytes and counting and more than 700 artists complete discographies, basically everything from every artist who has mattered in the last century, and spent $0.00.. not one dime :)
