Public Mobile's New Plans: A Shift in Wireless Offerings
Public Mobile,a subsidiary of Telus,has recently followed in the footsteps of Freedom Mobile by discontinuing its Boxing week promotions. The company has introduced new wireless plans that come with increased prices and reduced data allowances.
This latest move continues Public’s trend of closely aligning its offerings with those of Freedom. Consequently, while the new plans might potentially be more expensive than just days ago, they still represent some of the more competitive options available in Canada’s wireless market.
Current Plan Options
Here’s a breakdown of the current plans available:
- $60 for 100GB 5G across Canada,the U.S.,and Mexico.
- $50 for 80GB 5G across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico (previously $50 for 150GB).
- $40 for 60GB 5G across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico (previously $40 for 100GB).
- $35 for 10GB 5G across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico (remains unchanged).
- $30 for 8GB of nationwide coverage on a 5G network (remains unchanged).
- $25 for 4GB on a nationwide coverage using a standard LTE network (remains unchanged).
- $20 for just 1GB on an LTE network covering all of Canada (remains unchanged).

All these plans come with unlimited calling and texting within their respective coverage areas.This feature adds significant value to each option offered by Public Mobile.
A Closer Look at Pricing Trends
The adjustments made to these plans are largely what manny anticipated. They align closely with pricing seen before Boxing Week sales began while also being comparable to Freedom's offerings—though there might be slight variations in cost here and there.
At present, Public Mobile stands alongside Freedom and Fizz as some of Canada's most affordable choices when it comes to wireless services. If you were to consider similar packages from one of Canada's major carriers right now, you would likely find yourself paying upwards of $70 per month or even more depending on your desired features. My suggestion? Opting for one of these value-driven alternatives could save you quite a bit over time.
