Public Mobile on the air in Toronto
It’s been a couple of years after the Canadian wireless spectrum auction, and the floodgates have really started to open up, at least in Canada’s most populous city. Public Mobile is the latest new entrant in the wireless carrier race to go live with their service. Unlike other newcomers like Wind Mobile and Mobilicity, there’s no data plans to be seen, but if all you want is talk and text, they offer some compelling plans.
Public Mobile started with a $40 unlimited talk and text plan, which allowed you to either switch the text for unlimited Canadian long distance, but they’ve now announced a lower cost $24 plan which forgoes text altogether, for talkers only. It’s also worth pointing out that the second city that Public Mobile will be launching in is Montreal. Later this summer, Public Mobile will be launching an unlimited international plan, though no pricing is available at this time.
