Public Mobile SIM Card for Unlocked Phones (GSM) on Canada’s Largest Mobile Network

The Sim card here for sale at Amazon is the same SIM card you would buy anywhere but is usually cheaper here.

I’m glad I found out about Public Mobile, a Telus company, Bell and Telus use the same cell towers and have more then Rogers, so if you are with Virgin/Koodo/Bell or Telus you will be getting basically the same LTE signal.

I used to be on Rogers with a 5 GB plan for $65 a month with unlimited talk/text etc with a bad signal at my home, didn’t work half the time. I’m now with Public Moble with a very good signal at my home for much cheaper. The data is 3G speed which is still very good, about 3MB per second and the cell signal for talking is LTE.

The $25 1GB a month plan or $40 5GB a month plans both with unlimited talk and picture text Canada are the best depending on what you need but they have other plans as well (and plans do change with time). If you need unlimited calling to the USA then you will need to pick the $50 plan which comes with 10.5 GB of data available at time of my review.

It’s really easy setting up and transferring your phone number over to them online, (everything is done online, you can also join their online community to earn credits towards your bill if you like but not necessary)

I’ve set up multiple phones with them so far from Virgin, Koodo and Rogers. When transferring your phone number over make sure you know your former account number and account holder name etc. You will need to give them your email address and create a password and a PIN number.

It’s pretty straightforward when you’re doing it online.

Make sure you sign up with your credit card for your monthly payments so that you get their $2 discount each month, and if you use this code 56E2E8 you will get a $10 credit towards your next month’s bill and if there’s any other sign up bonuses going on at the time you will get that bonus as well. Usually around Christmas every year they offer free bonuses as well that you add to your account as well.

By the way You only get one chance to enter that friend referal code (56E2E8) and check off the box on the first page to get your credit etc. If you don’t enter it you will pass up any sign up bonuses and credit going on.

If you find my review helpful at all please use the code and get your credit as well. And click the helpful button here too.

Also for each year you are with them you get a bonus dollar off your plan each month for instance 1 year with them $1 off each month, 2 years $2 off and on etc.

(Tell your friends to use this code 56E2E8 or link when they activate with Public Mobile.)

Hope this helps, Take care, and Thanks

I was tired of paying $140 for my partner and I to have service with Bell or Rogers. So I thought I’d give this a try. I’m now paying under $50 for the two plans and I couldn’t be happier!

When you receive this sim card, you go online to activate it, choose a plan and be up and running within an hour. You pay for each month of service in advance. And the money saved is startling! The signal is better when in stores where Bell usually gives me 0 bars. The data is 3G rather than LTE but it’s very fast 3G. I can’t tell the difference. I’m paying $22 per month for unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 1gb of data. That’s unbeatable! I’m saving $1080 per year.

My first cell phone ever, and I signed up for a prepaid, no contract, paying $40/mth for 5GB data, unlimited Canada wide talk, unlimited international text, voicemail and call display and am getting great speeds. I was streaming Spotify when I ran this test and it only shows 2 bars. I assume it would be faster with the full bars and if I stopped the streaming. I was looking at the other carriers to decide who to go with and then found Public Mobile. I am glad I found them. If you want you can make use of referrals bonuses and contribute to their community support and the longer you stay with them you also pay less. You can actually work your way to $0 ZERO per month for your cell bill. The setup was so easy and I am happy with the number I got. You can also port your old number (cell or landline) to them. If you want a referral code to use to get $10 added to your account and can be used to your next bill here is mine: 05QEXN

Update September 1, 2019: Apparently they found me out! Haha! I just tested my speed today and it is now officially 3G. Bummer! It was good while it lasted. But I’m not complaining. I am getting what I signed up for and I like it!
