Telus Targets Public Mobile Customers with New Offers
Recently, some customers of Public Mobile have reported receiving enticing messages from telus. these messages include special promotions aimed at encouraging users to switch providers. One notable offer is a $40 plan that provides 100GB of data.
Details on the Offers
A number of posts on Reddit highlight various deals sent by Telus to Public Mobile users. Besides the $40 for 100GB, there are also options like a $29 plan for 20GB and another at $25 for 5GB.However, not every customer seems to be receiving these offers; I personally have a line with Public Mobile and haven’t seen any such deal come my way. Even if I did receive one, I might not consider switching.
The Fine Print: What’s Included?
The information provided about the $40/100GB plan is somewhat vague. It mentions that this plan includes access to 5G data and offers a discount for pre-authorized bank payments. However, it does not clarify whether this plan covers only Canada-wide calling and texting or if it extends to U.S. or North American usage as well.
This detail could be crucial for many current Public customers since most plans from this provider allow usage in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico without extra charges. As a notable example,you can currently get a $40 plan with 70GB from Public Mobile—this option appeals more to me than Telus's offer as I don’t typically use large amounts of data but do benefit from being able to use my phone in the States due to work commitments.
Concerns About Pre-Authorized Payments
An additional concern arises regarding Telus's requirement for pre-authorized payments—a method I find less appealing as it can make it easier for companies to implement price increases without notice. This approach also bypasses some protections that credit cards provide against unauthorized charges.
A Closer Look at Other Plans
The other plans offered by Telus are slightly better than what’s available through Public but still leave somthing to be desired.The $29/20GB option surpasses Public’s current offering of $30 for just 8GB while the $25/5GB deal only adds an extra gig compared to what you’d get with Public’s own $25/4GB package.
Should You Make the Switch?
If you're considering these new offers from Telus, think carefully about your current situation with your existing public mobile service and your specific wireless needs before making any decisions. For many users who don’t require excessive data or who value international usage options more highly, staying with their current provider may still be the best choice unless they genuinely need additional data capacity.
