Anybody need some cellular data?

No reason why it shouldn't work at 4G LTE by default, you just won't get 5G connectivity.

When you port your number over, you'll get a temporary one for a day or two and then the old one will be applied.

Why a temp number? My last ports had my actual number moved over in literally minutes.
 
Got it done. No temp number, and the 5G works with a 4G phone. Did have to pay $10 for the SIM card, since I didn't want to wait the two days for free delivery. The Telus/Koodo staff in the store knew nothing about Public, except how much the card costs, and it's all done online.
 
On a semi-related note, I just used the eSim option last month. What a super-easy, painless option... when it works. Signed onto a new provider, in a new country and subscribed to a plan in literally under 2 minutes, all online. If I was faster typer and could tap out my credit card number quicker, it would have taken 30 seconds...

My wife, however, had problems with the provisioning process and we had to go into a physical store to get her eSim activated.

Still, a lot easier than farkin' around with physical SIM chips.

Koodo hiking price of its $29/30GB plan to $35/month

Koodo is hiking the cost of its $29/month 30GB plan it introduced during the 2023 holiday season to $35/month.

Here we go with the bait and switch price hikes.

Another reason why I recommend Freedom over any of the others trying to match them now.
 
I think there was a phone thread a while back but this one is the only one I found on a quick search.
We’re looking for a new plan as our old Bell one is overpriced for what’s out there now. Can’t use Rogers as there’s no service reception in my area. Quick look around and Telus has better deals than Bell and as I understand it Telus uses Bell towers so if I have reception with Bell I also will with Telus. Any other phone plans I should look at that’s still using Bell towers?
Don’t need US/Mexico calling and 60gb data per person is plenty.

Public Mobile

My current plan, comes up often in their promotions. Zero complaints in a yearish+
 
Have had Public Mobile Can/US plan for a while now, and the US is spotty. Some places work and others don't with the auto select even when other phones have a good connection. Sometimes it can be remedied by making manual changes and others not. Canada seems fine with some no signal areas out in the bush, especially in Nfld. May flip back to Koodo, which is also Telus along with Public, but has physical locations, when I need a new phone.

I've had issues in Vermont & travelling to Oklahoma. In parts of Vermont I could manually lower the connection type removing LTE and/or change the network operator and sometimes get a call through. I have a Samsung S10, so the newer 5G phones might work better.

Just a follow-up on this plan, we just crossed over into the Upstate NY and the Public Mobile roaming switched over to AT&T.

We have full 5G. I am going to assume Public Mobile coverage in the US will be exactly the same as wherever AT&T is available.

Not bad.

Heading into the bush tomorrow. Will send an update on our non-urban coverage experience.
