If life is taking you on the road, Public Mobile has good news for you: Our network is now larger. We have expanded our network and have added roaming, making it possible for you to talk and text while you’re traveling outside of our unlimited coverage area.
Our roaming works on a pay-per-use basis, so you will only be charged when you use the service. All you have to do is add money to your Public Mobile Wallet before leaving town and you’ll be able to complete local or long distance calls to anywhere in Canada and the U.S., as well as send and receive text messages.
Public Mobile’s roaming charges are 15¢/minute, the lowest price in Canada, and will allow you to call any destination in Canada or the United States. For incoming calls, the same roaming charges of 15¢/minute apply, and allow you to accept calls from Canada, the United States or international destinations. If you have text messaging, you will be able to receive unlimited free text messages while roaming and will only be charged 15¢ for any messages you send.
Our roaming coverage area includes major cities in both Ontario and Quebec, as well as in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta and B.C. We’ll be updating maps in our stores and online before we launch.


If you have any questions or want to learn more about the Wallet and our roaming service, visit our FAQ section, call us at 1-877-999-5055 or visit the store nearest you.

Public Mobile was all over Toronto in July. First, we were at the Salsa during the St.Clair Street Festival on July 17th and 18th. If you were there you saw everybody having fun, dancing in the street amongst great food, dance lessons and of course, amazing music. Maybe you even spotted some of our crew dancing (or trying to dance) and meeting as many of you as possible.
Then, we were at the New Bloor Festival on July 24th to celebrate our local business, community, arts and culture in the middle of the street. We absolutely loved the market-feel, events, activities, exhibitions and the chance to connect, share and learn from all the locals from all the different communities.
It was so great to meet and chat with so many of you at these two festivals. Thanks for showing up and learning a little bit more about Public Mobile.

Never before has calling so many countries from your cell phone been so affordable. Starting July 15th, Public Mobile is offering unlimited calling to 45 countries for $15 a month.
All Public Mobile customers who have the $40 unlimited talk and text plan have the option of adding unlimited overseas calling for an additional $15. There are no credit checks, no contracts and no surprises.
Canada has the highest per capita immigration rate in the world (Canada’s Immigration Program – Oct. 2004), and according to Statistics Canada, 2/3 of all Canadians self identify as being of ethnic origin. So it’s no surprise that a vast majority of Canadians want to make overseas calls. Yet, Canada has some of the highest long distance cell phone costs in the world. Public Mobile’s overseas long distance plan provides consumers with something that hasn’t existed until now – great value, flexibility and simplicity.
