ive just ordered a public mobile SIM to put in my eldest daughters first phone. I’ll likely choose the 3gb data/unlimited call plan @$35/mth. Cheapest deal I could find and as it’s capped at 3G speed and prepaid she can’t burn her data allowance streaming videos!

We had Public Mobile for a few months in BC, I think we only got 2.5gb of data for $35/month though, which wasn't quite enough for us since we do some app based work which requires data, but the service was always reliable and worked well.

which service provider do you have now, what do you get for what price?

Pre-tax and fees its $50 per month for 6gb data, unlimited Canada/US calling, unlimited global texting, voicemail, caller ID, its $56.08, my earlier post was for the first bill which was higher apparently, because the last 3 months its been $56.08 per month.

Could lower it a bit by removing the US calling add on, but its cheaper to have the add on, than to pay long distance per minute to the US.

Freedom Mobile.
