Telus-owned Public Mobile has finally given an end date to its promotional $34/50GB Canada-US plan, which matches Freedom Mobile.
According to an update on Public Mobile’s website on Thursday, the $34/50GB 5G Canada-US plan will end on Monday, March 4. Freedom Mobile has no end date on their same plan.
For the other Canada-US plans, which include $40/75GB and $50/100GB, no end date is mentioned on the company’s website. Other promo plans of $29/20GB 4G and $24/4GB 4G also do not have an end date.
Also, we told you yesterday Public Mobile had made physical SIM cards $0 (normally $10) just like eSIMs (normally $5). It’s clear Public Mobile is ramping up its efforts to sign up new customers.
The $34/50GB Canada-US plan was also extended to existing customers, as we told you on Wednesday. This $34/50GB 5G Canada-US plan will last beyond 24 months like Freedom Mobile. But Public Mobile also does not have Wi-Fi Calling, which is helpful for those in areas of low cellular coverage.
Based on what we’ve seen in the past, this $34/50GB plan from Public Mobile might get magically extended beyond next week’s deadline. The end date does create a sense of urgency for those on the fence.

Just sitting in the fence, waiting for wifi calling support.
Thanks for keeping me aware of these rapid plan changes!
Cheers! Trying to keep up like you guys as well!
My husband switched over to this deal on the weekend from Virgin and it works decently for him even though we have lousy cell coverage at home and voice calls work well despite the lack of Wifi calling.
Currently in California and it’s important to manually select T-Mobile as your cellular network otherwise you’ll have connectivity issues.
Public Mobile needs to highlight this omission for their US bound travellers
With WiFi calling this would be by far the best deal that doesn’t require any gymnastics to get. Hopefully not end of competition…the time limit worries me, this should be a normal price.
