Public Mobile reduces roaming plans ahead of spring travel season

If you have any plans to go to the U.S. or Mexico this year, you may want to pick up a plan from Public Mobile

Public Mobile has altered some of its mobile data plans, so they now include cheaper prices.

Most of these plans are great entry points to the Telus-owned wireless provider if you already own your phone. They all include unlimited talk and text, call display, and voicemail. The Can/U.S./MEX data plans also include international calling buckets with a varying number of minutes, depending on the cost.

Overall, most people who barely use data should go with either the 10GB or 20GB plans.  If you use a lot of data, both the 60GB and 80GB plans are fairly priced.

  • $19/500MB (CAN) 4G (unchanged)
  • $23/1GB (CAN) 4G (unchanged)
  • $27/6GB (CAN) 4G (unchanged)
  • $29/10GB (CAN/U.S.) 5G (New plan)
  • $32/20GB (CAD) 4G (unchanged)
  • $35/60GB (CAN/U.S./MEX) 5G (previously $39)
  • $45/80GB (CAN/U.S./MEX) 5G (previously $49)
  • $55 /100GB (CAN/U.S./MEX) 5G (previously $59)

Public previously raised prices to match Freedom Mobile, but it looks like these new rates are closer to what Public offered before the increase.

If you don’t have a Canada/U.S./Mexico roaming plan, you’ll need to pay $30 for a 15-day U.S. talk/text/data bundle. And if you’re not with Public Mobile, you’ll need to pay other, potentially much higher roaming costs at other carriers, though roaming rates are shifting at the Big Three, too.

Notably, Bell is offering a limited-time roaming rate deal where additional lines get roaming for half price. Meanwhile, Rogers will raise its roaming costs just in time for March Break.
