Telus-owned Public Mobile is back at it again, this time offering a $50 plan with 40GB of 4G speed data, but also applicable to Canada and the USA.
Yes, that’s right, this plan seemingly matches the $50/40GB Canada-US roaming plan being offered by Videotron’s Freedom Mobile. Public Mobile is only offering this matching $50/40GB Canada-US plan but only in Quebec, which always seems to have some wireless deals unavailable elsewhere in the country.
Rogers-owned Fido previously matched Freedom’s $50/40GB Canada-US plan, only in Quebec and available still.
Videotron currently offers a $50/50GB Canada-US plan right now, but only if you bundle internet with your wireless service.
As for Public Mobile, its $50/40GB plan is like the others—it allows your talk, text and data to be used anywhere in Canada and the U.S., at 4G speeds up to 100 Mbps. You also get Canada-US wide minutes and unlimited international SMS/MMS.
This promo plan from Public Mobile offers $2.50/month in Public Points. This Canada-US plan from Public Mobile launches just ahead of the summer break, when many families will be vacationing down south. It remains to be seen if it will be offered outside of Quebec, but stay tuned.
For the rest of Canada, Public Mobile has a $39/30GB plan for a 90-day subscription that ends on June 19, 2023.

The misleading title needs to be modified to specify “Quebec only”.
good deal either way! all plans need to be can/usa.
Just fyi, maybe put Quebec in the title instead of making this super cringy and clickbait.
That being said, Good for Quebec how about the rest of Canada? Oh wait….videotron is Quebec only because…Quebec…
I’m pretty sure the crybaby snowbirds will find a way to access this no matter where they live. I’m pretty sure it’s not geo-locked.
Eventually freedom will change to Videotron in near future anyways. So Videotron able to expand all over the canada.
That what’s going to happen eventually I prefer that name.
That way more customers will know that Ownership has changed. People what to try their service what they offer.
I’m not convinced that will happen anytime soon. Videotron is largely unknown outside of Quebec. It’s expensive to rebrand. And no guarantee that Videotron will actually survive the blood bath that is currently under way. I mean value for your cellphone plans haver never been better but that also means all of these companies are gonna take a big financial hit. And depending on how deep the wounds are, first they will do a round of layoffs to cut costs, than consolidation will happen again, then prices will be raised. Same thing is playing out right now with Westjet folding both Sunwing and Swoop into their operation. That is capitalism for you, with free market dynamics.
They already said they’re keeping the Freedom brand (of course that could change for many reasons, including if their employees decide to unionize).
Videotron has already started the work (not that they have a choice) migrating Freedom’s systems over to their network (their eSIM servers were down while they were migrating over for example).
Freedom will likely end up by the end of the year to be an MVNO of Videotron’s network, with Videotron gaining Freedom’s towers to their network.
Similar to how Fido/Koodo/Virgin was pre-5G.
And then Fizz will serve the Public Mobile/Chatr role…
I’d expect Freedom to offer home internet and TV in the rest of Canada way before Videotron will.
Yeah, you are probably right. Freedom already sold internet. They just stopped, which you can see on their site. In the long term ( I give it 5 years) another wave of consolidation will happen. Videotron will likely be gone unless you pay (taxes to subsidize) to keep them alive.
