On Friday (June 6), Public Mobile released a new $15 plan which has 500 MB of data and unlimited Canada-wide calling, plus it includes 100 long-distance minutes to China, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, and the UK. Its predecessor only had 250 MB data, and 100 minutes of Canada-wide calling, period. This will only show up if you are currently on a $13 or $15 plan. If you’re on an old $13/$15 and could use a bit more data or more minutes, this might be for you. To get the new $15 plan, you’ll have to make a subscription/plan change (schedule for next renewal).
Public Mobile also released a $19 plan with 2GB of data. This replaces the previous $19 plan with only 1GB of data (and of course predecessors of the $19 plan which had 250 MB or 500 MB). This one will only show up if you’re on a $19 or lower-priced plan, and only upgrades data. Again, you’ll have to choose this plan (scheduled change on renewal) so that you get the extra data starting from your next cycle.
It doesn’t look like these are visible/available to new subscribers. In fact the $19 plan for new sign-ups is still the 1GB version. Hopefully these will be the new “permanent” low-cost plans, and not time-limited; I could not find any promo expiry date, but if you’re currently on a $13/$15/$19 plan and want the upgrades, you might want to lock them in, in case they go away!
These 2 plans are selectable on my old $13 line:
Edit: Title update for clarity
Edit: Corrected minutes on old $15 plan (100 min, not unlimited)
Edit: Title updated further with additional information
Edit: Added 100 international calling minutes which is included with the new $15 plan
