Telus-owned prepaid brand, Public Mobile, is offering up a special $40 plan with 15GB of 4G speed data for existing and new activations.
This promotion is available when Public Mobile customers log into their accounts online. Eligible customers will see a promo offer of $40/15GB, with unlimited Canada-wide talk and international SMS/MMS, to go with voicemail and call display, plus 3x points back as part of the 30-day plan.
“You’ve found a frighteningly good deal👻! To give our customers faster speeds at more affordable prices, for a limited time only, we’re offering a special $40/15GB 4G speed plan to all of our existing customers in My Account for anyone who wishes to take advantage of it,” says Public Mobile.
“This limited time offer is not a discounted $60/15GB 4G speed plan – it is a special $40/15GB 4G speed plan. Customers who switch to this plan should expect it to stay on their accounts until they decide to switch to another plan. But act fast, this spooky surprise won’t be around for long!”, added the company.
Normally, this plan is priced at $60 per month on the Public Mobile website. New customers can also sign up for this $40/15GB plan (use code 2EL9RO for a $10 bill credit), which is shown as a plan choice when you’re activating your SIM card.
You can find this plan by going to your account and clicking ‘Plans & Add-Ons’, then ‘Change My Plan’. Then click on ‘4G Speed’ and scroll down and you’ll see the $40/15GB plan option. You have the option to change to the plan now (but you won’t get a pro-rated refund) or at your next renewal date.
For those that signed up under the previous Public Mobile promo of $120 for 12GB of data, a 90-day plan from 2017, this plan offers 11GB more data and might be worth considering.
Are you seeing this promo $40/15GB 4G speed plan in your Public Mobile account?
Update: Switching to this promo plan will not eliminate your legacy rewards. In order to switch to the new points rewards system, you need to log in and explicitly make the change. Any legacy bonus minutes and data will also remain.

Yes, I switched plans in a heartbeat!
lets gooo great plan!!
I am seeing it. What’s the catch? It seems to good to be true. I have an old original LTE $40 / month plan with 2GB. But with the original rewards system it costs me much less.
Just switched, and yes, PM staff have confirmed the deal is legitimate.
If we have the original rewards system, do we get to keep the same rewards program?
I have the original rewards program. After changing to this plan my old rewards still apply so I’m getting the plan for $32/month
Thanks @cet_guy:disqus. That is what I wanted to know. I am in the same boat and made the switch – $32/month. Only difference, I used to do it every 3 months.
Yes, can confirm the original rewards stay. you won’t switch to the new rewards unless you login to the new rewards portal and make the switch yourself
I can’t see this deal for new customers when I go on the website. Though I read that the deal was for new customers as well. Am I missing something?
When you activate your sim, you will see the plan as an option
If you need Public Mobile Referal Code please use X48K7Q

Guessing the deal will be gone before you can get SIM cards. Oh well looks for a great deal.
try walmart
Amazon has the Simcards, if deal goes away you can always send it back.
Public Mobile has a history of trying to get rid of the customers on the $120/90 day plan. Although you get an extra 12GB/month it isn’t forever. Its only for 12 months. I would use caution before giving up your grandfathered plan. The new plan is $40 for 5 GB plus 12 GB bonus according to the website. Will that actually be 5 GB/month after 12 months? I just don’t trust them.
This is a completely different plan than the one you are describing. That 12 GB bonus is a separate promotion. And your math doesn’t even check out since 5+12=17, not 15.
Fake news bro. read the website. check RFD forums. even public mobile said this plan is legit as long as you remain on it. stop the FUD.
You seem to be obsessed with the term “fake-news”. Based on your responses it seems you might also believe covid is FUD or that it’s not airborne. But it’s ok. A lot of people like you get their facts from TikTok and other social media sites.
Just signed up as a new customer to this amazing plan. Haven’t seen anything better for 15GB LTE. I got my simcard from the Telus Store (walmart was not selling it anymore). When activating the simcard on Public Mobile website then the plan showed up just like everyone said. If the plan does not show up then do not continue the activation and just return the simcard. Worked for me in Ontario Nov 30. Hurry its limited time. Use my friend referal code for the $10 off if this information helped you out: 8J8YWY This will help me with points for as long as your plan is active. Public mobile seems pretty good. Much appreciated. Cheers! (Im so happy)
Gary Ng, why you post your own Friend Referral code here? while it helps other saving $10 one time, it helps you earning over $100 in long run You are not very honest doing it
Do you feel bad for writing an article for personal gain???
dude im happy to support this site they’ve saved me so much money over the years…last i checked…there’s no reason why he should be working for free for you
This is legit.
I am a new customer who just ported over from Freedom.
Yes it’s a bit odd they don’t show this on their home page but just as the others have said, once you chose your plan options it’s right beside the shown $40 4G 5gb plan. I was already committed to switching for better coverage and was happy with the 5Gb plan so the 15 was a happy surprise. Trust the article!
To support someone else, my referral code is 6JQWY2
Happy switching!
Public Mobile has a history of raising prices to existing plans or kicking you off a grandfather plan. They did this several years ago with their Black Friday deal that was posted here on iPhone in Canada. However we had that deal running for many years before they asked us to switch to Koodo where we negotiated a good deal as well.
For anyone who missed this 15Gb for $40 deal… IT IS BACK! 😄
So is the 20GB for $45 plan.
Available to new AND existing customers.
No saying for how long 😕
P.S. If you are unsure about it, you can always buy yourself some time by securing this offer until your next plan renewal. Simply initiate a plan change in Self Serve for on your renewal date. You can always cancel anytime before then and preserve your existing plan.
