Public Mobile Updates 5G and 4G Plans and They Are Worse Than Before
Telus-owned prepaid brand Public Mobile has revamped its plans ahead of the back to school season.
The company added expiry labels to its 5G plans yesterday, indicating changes would be coming today. Here are the new 5G plans as of today:
- $35/50GB (was 40GB) 5G Canada
- $40/70GB (was 100GB) 5G Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 1000 int’l minutes
- $45/100GB (was 150GB) 5G Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 1000 int’l minutes
- $50/150GB (was 200GB) 5G Canada-US-Mexico 5G + 1000 int’l minutes
So what changed? The $35 plan loses US-Mexico roaming and 1,000 international minutes, but gains 10GB of data. The other $40, $45 and $50 plans have seen their data buckets slashed by 30GB to 50GB, but its international minutes remain. Realistically though, for the average person, the amount of data provided is more than enough unless you’re streaming a lot every day.
Here are Public Mobile’s 4G plans:
As you can see, this week the 4G plans also saw changes.
Again, once the real back to school season hits in August, expect ‘better’ deals to arrive.
