Public Mobile Discounts Select 6GB 3G Data Plans by $5 Per Month

A couple days ago we told you how Telus-owned Public Mobile had introduced a $50 plan offering 6.5GB of 3G data (or $48/month after AutoPay), but now it appears that move was part of an overall plan to lower prices by $5 per month on select 6GB data plans, according to the company.

Public Mobile announced starting today, they are lowering prices for their 30-day and 90-day 6GB 3G data plans, which currently include a 500MB data bonus per month.

So here’s what’s available at 3G speeds when you select the ‘Build your own plan’ option:

30-day Plan

  • 6GB + 500MB data bonus
  • Unlimited talk to Canada-wide and U.S.
  • Unlimited international SMS/MMS
  • $50 per month (was $55)

90-day Plan

  • 18GB + 1.5GB data bonus
  • Unlimited talk to Canada-wide and U.S.
  • Unlimited international SMS/MMS
  • $150 (was $165)

The company explains, “That’s a $5 price reduction per 30 days for both plans! Totally sweet right?”

This updated pricing matches Rogers’ prepaid company Chatr, which currently also offers the same $50 per month plan with 6GB 3G data and a 500MB data bonus. Bell’s prepaid brand Lucky Mobile has yet to match the 500MB data bonuses offered by Chatr and Public Mobile, as of writing.

With AutoPay setup, Public Mobile customers can save an extra $2 off per month. You can even save more if you refer friends and family to Public Mobile, and if you sign up with a referral, you can get $10 credit. Email tips @ iphoneincanada.ca if you need a $10 credit referral.
