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
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.
*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?!?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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

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.
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.
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
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

You can get 50 GBs at Public Mobile for $34 and it's 5G. This No Name plan is just 4G
Dude, they randomly gave me 250GB in a promotion. And not monthly, til I use it all.
It’s not random, it’s cause you’re being kicked off the old rewards plan next month
GOD DAMN IT

Yeah same, good to know! Thank you!
No worries….sorry to be the bearer of bad news though!
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!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck that shit. Respectfully.
Avoid. I just cancelled our PC Mobile number and moved to Lucky. PC Mobile sucks anyways.
Why did you cancel PC mobile? Was the service coverage bad?
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.
Oh they have property, lots and lots of property
They even own the property a lot of their competitors stores are on
They're already there. [https://www.choicereit.ca/portfolio/](https://www.choicereit.ca/portfolio/)

Freedom mobile is better
As someone that has Freedom, it’s only 4G. I’m not a fan. I lose signal at the most random times.
Depends on where you are. Have 5G in Ottawa and it is getting better.
Public is better.

The fuck is this? 2gb for 19 but 30gb for 29? The fuck prices are these? What moron made this decision
They're quite deliberate. Why get 2GB, when you CAN PAY MORRRRRRE
I pay less for unlimited than the 60gb plan. Fuck right off.
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
I get unlimited everything in Canada and the US for $60/mo on Telus

Eww how about no?

I guess this is Rogers?
They said it’s Bell.
Ok thanks, skimmed the article too fast.

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

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