    When my wife got a new phone, teenager got the old one, so since they are graduating from a flip phone to smart phone went and checked the public Mobile plan they were on. Currently on $15/mo plan, and realized I had several old promotional 2gb data bonuses on that account. Will keep them on the $15 plan for a while and see if they chew through the data or not. Can re-evaluate in the fall.

    I personally am on an obsolete can-USA inclusive data and voice plan that doesn't exist. Handy because I'm spending a lot of time on the phone to people in the USA, and I'm going to visit them very soon I hope.

    Even if the youngest inherits that fliphone, the four of us will be around $116/mo total, which is miles cheaper than any family share plan I can find.

    I upgraded last month to 4g for a whole $1.25/month. No complaints.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Get a 2GB data bonus every month for 12 months.
    Seize the data. Get more today by switching to Public Mobile. For a limited time only.

    Get an additional 2GB of data for free* for 12 months on plans $25/mo+ with promo code 12MONTHS2GB.
    if y'all care.
    I'm setting up my youngest on Public Mobile today. Love those in-family referrals lol.

    Oooh thanks for the heads up! I just switched over from my old 4.5GB 3G plan @ $40.

    YeahI'm swapping my wife to that one. She doesn't need the extra data, but the speed won't hurt.

    Although I still am certain that Public Mobiles "throttled 3g plans" give much higher speeds than true 3g service. Sorta like a 3.5G kinda speed.

    Yes, it does because there's way less latency on 4G versus 3G.

    If I didn't spend most of my professional life dealing with people in the USA, who seem to love old-fashioned voice communication, I'd swap out to the 4g plans, but the grandfathered plan I'm on for $60 is still ridiculously good value for my use-case

    Do you need a referral or something for that plan? On the Public Mobile site I don't see that offer.

    Did you log into your account and go to change plans? It's in the 4G menu, second option.

    Ahhh ok, I'm currently with Telus and will switch over so I don't have an account, I just see what is on the website.

    It's not showing as a plan on the website until you log in. SO for new activations, that happens when you activate your SIM card.
    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.
    They ARE showing a bonus 12GB for new activations, and smaller discounts on 4G plans, but not showing this particularly promo until you log in.

    Tip as well, anyone who wants a public mobile SIM card, you can get them from any telus stores, and often if you mention you are a loyal telus customer, you can get it for free, saving you the $10 fee that is advertised.

    My brain has been conditioned to use as little data as possible.
    How do I adapt to 12GB?! and yet another 2GB bonus. I think i still have 2GB from last year Christmas bonus!

    I have every data bonus they've ever given me. When you have wifi at home and work, i don't know how you use enough data to ever worry about it.
    My kid has a 250 MB plan, now they do go over that most months, but they also have some data bonuses, that they haven't used up.

    Had to bump my teen up from the 250 mb plan, lol. Now on 3 GB plan for $30 minus $4 rewards. If they use more data than that, they can buy their own plan.
