I was one of the lucky ones to get the $40 100GB Canada US Mex plan at 50% off for 2 years. I’m sitting at 9/24 months and I’m wondering what people are doing once this expires - I think this was a new years deal and will just keep my eyes peeled a few months before it expires. Deals aren’t looking great lately and I feel like cell plans are getting a bit worse compared to last year.
What are y’all doing?
If you accept the offer to transfer the two things that they will not tell you or is not obvious unless you read all of the little fine print is the price that they are offering. You does not take effect the date that you actually transfer. The price they're quoting. You includes a $10 pre-authorized debit discount that only takes effect on the start date of your first bill date. This date could be a week or more after your transfer date.
Also, if you transfer part way through your month, you will absolutely lose everything that you paid public mobile as you will get absolutely no partial credit for days that you paid for that you didn't get to use. So if you pay for example $30 a month and transfer on the 10th day of your month public mobile pockets $20 and bills you again from the day of transfer on the new provider.
Hi everyone I’m trying to help my friend port from Telus mobility to public mobile how easy is it? To port from Telus mobility to public mobile?
When I purchased my phone plan it was advertised as being 5G compatible with speeds of up to 250 mbps. I would assume that means that when network conditions (Bandwidth, signal etc...) allow 250 mbps to be possible, that I will get up to 250 mbps.
After some testing and light research I found out that this is not the case. Public Mobile (And other providers) intentionally limit the speeds you can get for certain services.
I found that by setting up a VPS with wireguard running and using it as a VPN, I was able to get 20 mbps higher download speed and a generally more stable experience on Facetime (Especially), Tiktok and Youtube.
This is also not directly related to bandwidth throttling, but I find that at school where there are thousands of students trying to use their data at once during lunch (To bypass school network restrictions), that my phone's data doesn't work while my friends phone's (Bell and Telus) work completely fine.
Hello all,
I’m currently with Bell, but I noticed a cheaper plan that ends in two days by PM. 35$ for 50GB 5G in Canada. I do not travel often.
Thoughts? is the coverage good? speed?
So my father is with Public mobile and he’s currently in Mexico. I let him know he can manually change the tower he’s connected to, and I guess he attempted to do this on his own. He’s now called me and told me he can no longer connect to public mobile. I admit, my father is in his 70s, and not familiar with technology. If someone could kindly write up some instructions on how to turn his roaming back on I would greatly appreciate it. He has a samsung and I’m also unfamiliar with Androids, being a long time iphone user. I tried to assist and that led to more frustrations. Thanks in advance!
