Public Mobile Boosts Data Plans to Compete with Freedom Mobile
In a strategic move,Public Mobile,owned by Telus,has enhanced the data offerings on several of its plans. This change comes as a direct response to Freedom Mobile's recent reintroduction of its popular $40/250GB plan.
On Friday morning, Freedom announced that it would be bringing back this enticing offer for a limited time. In light of this development, Public has decided to increase the data limits on its own plans. Though, these new offers are only available until March 16.
New and Improved Plans from Public Mobile
Hear’s what you can expect from Public’s updated lineup:
- $35 for 50GB in Canada and the U.S., plus 500 international minutes (previously $35 for 40GB)
- $40 for 150GB across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico with 1,000 international minutes (previously $40 for 100GB)
- $50 for an remarkable 250GB in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico along with 2,000 international minutes (previously $50 for 150GB)
Public Mobile's updated plans as of march 13, 2026.
A Closer Look at Competitive Offerings
While none of these new plans quite match Freedom’s standout $40/250GB deal directly, they do provide competitive alternatives in other areas. As a notable example, Public's $35 plan now offers significantly more data than Freedom's equivalent plan which only provides a mere 10GB at the same price point.
Additionally, when comparing their higher-tier options—Public’s $50 plan gives users access to an impressive amount of data at 250GB compared to Freedom’s offering of just 100GB at the same price. However, it's likely that many consumers interested in such high data limits will still lean towards Freedom's more affordable option.
The Impact on Wireless Pricing
This kind of competition is beneficial not just for consumers but also signals healthy rivalry among wireless providers.Even if Public's latest deals don't surpass those offered by Freedom directly; it's encouraging to see companies actively trying to win over customers through better pricing and increased value.
The hope is that this trend continues—leading to lower prices across all wireless services as companies strive to attract more subscribers with appealing offers.
