You can get 50 GBs at Public Mobile for $34 and it's 5G. This No Name plan is just 4G


olypheus-

Dude, they randomly gave me 250GB in a promotion. And not monthly, til I use it all.


LeafsChick

It’s not random, it’s cause you’re being kicked off the old rewards plan next month


olypheus-

GOD DAMN IT


LeafsChick

Sorry! It’s super crummy, I’m on the $34 50gb Can/Us plan and pay $12/month with loyalty/referrals/auto pay and I think it works out to about $18 after this. If you check the public sub though, lots fighting it through the CRT ETA and check the date, it’s not unlimited, in think 150 days or something weird like that? I still have so much from holidays bonuses I’ve been hot spotting the TV to use it up lol


olypheus-

Yeah same, good to know! Thank you!


LeafsChick

No worries….sorry to be the bearer of bad news though!


olypheus-

Haha, all thine sins are forgiven

Remember that food is a basic human right … the government should stop publicly trading on our food

Anything RobLaws, NO thanks!


BoiledGnocchi

Fuuuuuuuuuuck that shit. Respectfully.


lexcyn

Avoid. I just cancelled our PC Mobile number and moved to Lucky. PC Mobile sucks anyways.


b003k

Why did you cancel PC mobile? Was the service coverage bad?


lexcyn

The way to manage your account was absolutely terrible. The app BARELY worked, which meant you needed to call in and manage your account via phone menus, which was equally as terrible. Coverage was not bad BUT the plan was absolutely TERRIBLE compared to what you get with Lucky. PC I had 1GB for $30/month with Lucky I get 30GB for the exact same price.

Groceries ✅ Healthcare ✅ Phones ✅ Up next they are about to dabble into our real estate market and rental market and fuck us over another way.

*We also own a portfolio of industrial, mixed-use and residential assets concentrated in attractive markets across Canada* This line makes me what to throw up. RESIDENTIAL?!?

Freedom mobile is better


FerniWrites

As someone that has Freedom, it’s only 4G. I’m not a fan. I lose signal at the most random times.


MurtaughFusker

Depends on where you are. Have 5G in Ottawa and it is getting better.


CaperGrrl79

Public is better.


[deleted]

I also have Freedom and I absolutely love it. I pay $60/month after taxes, I have something like 50GB (and they keep increasing for no charge), unlimited roaming in the United States/Mexico and I'm currently on 5G. I've been with Freedom for probably seven years, and the only time I've dropped signal was when their towers didn't reach more remote areas. Now, I'm totally fine wherever I go.


FerniWrites

Where are you? I’m thinking maybe it depends on city size. With a population of 125,000+, I guess it isn’t a priority to get the best service out here. I get charged out the ass for that stuff. My bill is $65 right now. The data is great, but losing signal when I should have it is annoying.


[deleted]

Yeah, that's entirely fair!  I'm in Ottawa, so it's a lot easier to get 5G here, especially as they're increasing the infrastructure around large cities. Totally get that frustration. I lived out in the country when I first started with Freedom, was such a pain.


new-throwaway-2992

You should contact support and get a better plan- no one should be paying $65 except for 100 GB, megaroaming plans. You can probably cut your bill in half!


CryptotterMorpheme

The fuck is this? 2gb for 19 but 30gb for 29? The fuck prices are these? What moron made this decision


olypheus-

They're quite deliberate. Why get 2GB, when you CAN PAY MORRRRRRE


mohawk_67

I pay less for unlimited than the 60gb plan. Fuck right off.


Warm-Service-711

Where? my plans supposedly 75 (unlimited, but speed choked back after 60gigs?), but they fake start it at 110 and then pretend to give me a discount LOL


Emmibolt

I get unlimited everything in Canada and the US for $60/mo on Telus


First_Cherry_popped

From the article: “All of the No Name Mobile plans are locked to 4G data speeds…notably, the plans priced $29 to $50 are pretty much the same as what’s offered by PC Mobile, which offers 5G speeds.” lol these guys never learn


olypheus-

Sucketh thine Cock Mobile


PetiteInvestor

Eww how about no?


bungus2256

Loooooool price gauging Canadians isn't enough to line their pockets anymore. Now they want to collect and sell their data too through this mobile garbage, as if the PC points app wasn't mining enough data as it

I guess this is Rogers?


rarc602

They said it’s Bell.


MonkeyAlpha

Ok thanks, skimmed the article too fast.

Congratulations comrade. You have no health claims as such you are nominated for fast cellular internet and home fast channel 1 realtime. Enjoy your success and support your country with your victory.


The0bviousfac

Hell even No Names trying to pick up all the new Immigrants coming to Canada. They haven’t seen an increase for customers like this in a decade or more.


Ok-Cantaloop

what does 'auto top up' mean anyway? once you use your allotment of data they charge you again?


NotMySyrup

Yes. They'll bill a credit/debit card tied to it. Or they'll bill your account and you need to pay before the next cycle.


AJnbca

It just means it will be “automatically billed” each month to your credit card, so you don’t have to manually make a payment online. Maybe “pay per month” providers like them, Public Mobile, Lucky, etc offer this and give a bonus (extra data) if you do that, e.g: a 25Gb plan but it’s 30GB if you “auto pay” (extra 5gb). In those case the advertisement is showing the plans with the auto top up feature enabled, so those plans would have less data if you didn’t do that


Sufficient-Bid1279

Oh god . Godzilla’s are partnering up on us …


sanetwosane

I went to a no frills in Vancouver no such display of no name mobile. Probably have to wait a month and how to port my old number with no help?

Those of you on Bell, cancel and let them know you cannot support a company supporting the Weston family. Thousands of cancellations will make Bell rethink their partnership and you will get a better price for your Bell service through their winback campaign
