Back in February, TELUS-owned Public Mobile launched new self-serve plans and a new rewards program. As of last week, the carrier launched new 10 and 90 day plans for its existing customers, instead of just 30 day options like before.
With these new additions, there are new prepaid possibilities. Howard Forums user Steven Hurdle listed every single plan combination over 90 days and noted what it would cost per month, plus features available.
In a nutshell, for $57.49 per month, you can get a plan with unlimited North America talk (Canada/USA), unlimited global text messaging and 2.03GB of data per month (6GB over 90 days), as part of a customized 90 day plan.
The full options list of price per month and features available are below:
