Type: Brand
Description: Public Mobile is a Canadian mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) owned by Telus. They offer self-serve, prepaid wireless plans with a focus on bringing your own phone (BYOD). Their plans offer various combinations of talk, text, and data, billed in blocks of 10, 30, or 90 days, rather than by the minute. They also provide 5G service and have an app for account management and support. Public Mobile's network coverage is the same as Telus. Customer support is primarily provided through online channels like their website, app, and community forums.
