Works well: Canada, US, Mexico

Both my husband and I have Canada, US and Mexico plan. It’s been working great for the both of us. Transferred phones a few times and set up was a breeze.

Great! $10 credit too! πŸŽ‰

$10 credit with OQULY5 makes Public an even better deal! Same performance as the big three with US/CAN/MEX calling & data is a no brainer! Happy with speeds (>200mbps) and reception. I was paying 3x more for less before I switched!

Love Public Mobile

We have several lines with Public Mobile and the value is unbelievable. We always BYOD so it’s a perfect fit for our family

Works good

Pretty much a decent app does what it needs to do. Sometimes it makes me update before using which is annoying. That’s the only thing though

Good move!

Happily a member of Public Mobile.

Works as should

Same service better price. It’s a win.

Easy phone set up

It was a simple process to set up my new phone, used my referral code & picked a new number from lots of options

Amazing value!!

I love it, a lot!!! Amazing dollar per performance

Keep out

This is the worst cellphone company in Canada.

It is ok when things work.

But, when you have a problem there is not customer support. No human. You have to fight with a stupid robot. You can also raise a ticket and hope the monkey that takes your ticket understands your problem.

Stay away.

Amazing service

Really happy customer

App is just Koodo pop-up ads

This app is pointless to use now, literally just pop-up ads to switch to Koodo.

Bad signal

In the last few months the signal downgraded and I barely get any internet connection which is so frustrating at times. Not reliable anymore.

Customer service

Had a problem with outgoing calls. Catalina helpfully resolved the issue.

The app

I’m having trouble with the up would you please fix it

App dosent let me log in, keeps saying β€œerror”

Keeps logging me out and doesn’t let log back in. Terrible app, please fix

Terrible

On a brand new iPhone 17e with a default app display size of medium, it is not possible to create a new account on the app. The process breaks down when the cookies notice pops up and no β€œcontinue” or β€œaccept” button is visible or accessible to advance the set-up.

No Wifi Calling

Public has most of what I required…all except wifi calling. For whatever reason this still isn’t available, unless you’re willing to pay more for less with other providers; and have your bill increase every 12 months.

Annoying ads

Downgraded from a five star app to 2. A full screen ad to switch to Koodo every time I open the app, then banners at the top that have to be pressed away each time, again advertising Koodo. Give it a rest.

Works well, support not so much

Service is fine. Support isn’t great - email only. Worth it for the price.

Get a discount off your bill πŸ”₯

Quick tip for anyone ordering: I used code X98P9N at checkout and it took $10 off my bill. I found it online, so I’m not sure how long it’s I’ll stay active but it worked for me. The ordering process was straightforward and the discount made public mobile a better value.
