Public Mobile / User Reviews

Got the Max phone. I have unlimited 3G, calling, messaging and 3 way calling. When I text someone, it doesnt show up until 1 minute. The call is a bit too quiet, it says the SD card isn't there when it is, and now it wont charge.

I see a lot of haters with useless comments.

Great company, good phones, good plans. Signal quality and reception is good in Etobicoke, 2/4 bars inside and 4/4 bars outside. Same great reception downtown and uptown, inside and out.

Android phone is phenomenal for what I paid, $99 outright. ... More

I was with Wind Mobile for over a year and it was terrible. I just migrated to Public mobile and I was amazed. I went today to their corporate store, and one of their employees said hi to me. When I went inside, I waited in line, and the customer service rep said hi to me and said" Sir, I will be... More

I have been connected to public for about 7 months now, the plans are great in pricing sense, free incoming calls if you get all of them, bad reception , now I am looking for some other company. if you don't want your calls to just jump to answer service instead of taking them , go with public,... More

First smartphone - quite impressed. Great price. Lots of features. No coverage in my house. Either one bar or none. I lived at the top end of Oakville. 10 minutes away at the mall where i bought it - no probs - 4 bars...

They told me on the phone they don't guarantee service inside buildings.... More

Just switched from Virgin Mobile to Public Mobile. I've only had the phone for 4 days and so far I am very impressed. I bought my phone for $17 on sale with one month free service. I figured what do I have to lose for that price. It's a cheap phone. No bells or whistles, but I have to say,... More

Phones zero, network zero and zero services.

My Husband and I purchased our phones last summer. We have Never had a problem with our phones or calling service. The customer service is helpful and they are very friendly. However, I do think they need to bring out some better phones. Tomorrow there Android phones go on sale, and we will be upgrading... More

My wife bought a Public Mobile phone and she was told that signal in Toronto was good and since she never travels outside Toronto this would be ok. My Wife works in a older building and the reception unless your bedside a window is next to nothing so bad in fact that just 5 feet away from the window... More

I purchased the ZTE C76, signed up for the $15 talk-only plan and I added the $5 long distance plan. The phone feels cheap, but I'm willing to live with that. However I soon realized that the coverage in Montreal is crap. I tried making a few calls from downtown, Westmount, and other central areas... More

I'm satifsy with it, coz I'm just looking for a very basic talk and text phone which won't cost me $40+ eah month. And everything works fine. With just under $30 a month that's good enough. But just they don't have any good looking phone with all those fancy function you can... More

So your not looking for anything fancy? well too bad because apparently calling someone falls into that category. I purchased a BUZZ and after a few minutes of using it realized that the data plan was completely useless. Ok so i still have text calling and emailing right? well no, 1/2 of the people... More

I'm on my my 2nd phone since receiving as a gift at Christmas time. 1st phone went haywire shutting off by itself and turning on by itself, reading card...then going through the whole process again. Now my 2nd phone is doing the same. I think I may upgrade, I think this model has a quality issue... More

I purchased a BUZZ yesterday from Public Mobile. I have to say, it's the worst piece of garbage I have ever bought. The web browsing capabilities are practically useless. Navigation is poor and the menus are very poorly designed. If you're thinking you are getting a blackberry alternative,... More

I used to be with Virgin mobile but was exploring options for lower costs and Long Distance to USA and Canada... and decided to give the Public Mobile package a go. I have got to tell you I am pleased!

Got the phone Kyocera G2GO on Saturday Oct 2. Currently testing out the new service while remaining with my current provider.

Right now the service network is very weak in the Island of Montreal.

Around the airport and St Laurent is covered.

Beyond Dorval to Saint Anne de Bellevue is currently no... More

I've been using it for exactly one month, I've got the Samsung R312, the phone is good but the company fails in many ways. To begin with, the reception is so poor that being with Public Mobile is useless.

By poor reception I mean the following: You will be able to hear perfectly well every... More
