Public Mobile, a Telus-owned company, has recently made some changes to its plans, aligning with industry trends as they move away from 3G services. This shift mirrors what Bell-owned Lucky Mobile did last week, showing a clear direction towards 4G and 5G technologies.
Here’s a breakdown of the current 4G plans available on Public Mobile’s website:
– $15 for Canada talk and international text
– $21 for 3GB ($19 on a 90-day subscription)
– $29 for 20GB ($25 on a 90-day subscription)
Additionally, data add-ons are available at $5 for 200MB and $15 for 1GB. Public Mobile has also introduced discounted 90-day subscriptions for the 3GB and 20GB plans, offering savings of $2 and $4 per month respectively.
Notably, the $25/1GB 3G starter plan has been discontinued, while the $15 starter plan now includes less data. Customers looking for a budget-friendly option may want to explore Lucky Mobile’s offerings as their $15 plan still includes 250MB of data.
Moving forward, Public Mobile’s plans only highlight “4G Speed” and “5G Speed,” showcasing their commitment to faster network technologies. As of now, Rogers-owned Chatr still offers both 3G and 4G plans on their website, without introducing any 5G options yet.
For those interested in high-speed connectivity, Public Mobile’s existing range of 5G plans includes:
– $34 for 50GB
– $40 for 75GB
– $50 for 100GB
Moreover, Public Mobile has eliminated the need for a 90-day subscription to access the discounted $50 price point for the 100GB plan. Previously priced at $55 per month, this adjustment makes it more accessible to customers seeking larger data allowances.
Given Telus and Bell’s shared infrastructure collaboration in wireless services, it comes as no surprise that both companies have discontinued their older-generation 3G plans. This strategic move reflects their ongoing commitment to providing customers with advanced network capabilities.
