We’re always thinking of ways to help you save time and money, which is why we’re happy to announce that you now have two more ways to pay Public Mobile. We’ve added both an online payment method and a IVR payment method allowing you to pay from the comfort of your home at any time of the day.
For online payments you simply log in using your phone number and PIN to make one-time or recurring payments with your Visa or Master Card.
For IVR payments, you just need to dial *611 from your Public Mobile phone and follow the step by step instructions to pay with your credit card.
We invite you to log in to your account and explore the new feature here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/pmconsumer/dashboard/login?lang=en

Thanks to everyone who sent in their shots for the new campaign! Casting is now closed. Stay tuned for our new campaign coming soon.
———————————————
Let’s talk about a career in advertising.
If you’ve seen Public Mobile’s advertising campaign you know that we’d rather show super people than supermodels. And our new campaign is no different. Except this time, we’re giving you a chance to be a part of it.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Send a photo of you, in your best ‘Unlimited’ pose, to iwanttobeunlimited@publicmobile.ca. Make sure we can see you clearly in the picture. From the waist-up would be perfect.
- Include your first and last name, your phone number and the city you live in.
- The photograph you submit will not be used, under any circumstances, without your permission. All submissions will be permanently erased once the final selection is made.
- Persons under 18 will require parental consent to participate in the photo shoot.
- We’ll contact you to let you know if you’ll be included in this upcoming campaign.
- If you are included, we’ll contact you to provide all the details you’ll need to know about what happens next.
Thank you so much for wanting to be a part of this great campaign. We’ll talk to you soon.

In Montreal in the last week, we’ve added equipment in the following areas to improve reception:
- Riviere-des-Prairies: we expanded coverage in many areas of RDP such as: Gouin Blvd. East and Alexis Carrel Avenue, 87th Av. and 4th St., Maurice-Duplessis Blvd. and 50th Av., 3rd St. and 63rd Av., on De la Riviere des Prairies Blvd. between the 7th St. and La Martiniere St., 71th Av. between 5th St. and 6th St.
- Montreal-East: Marien Av. and De Montigny St.
- Dorval (near the airport): Saint-Francois Rd. and Vanden Abeele St.
In the upcoming 2 weeks, we’ll be adding more sites that will improve coverage in NDG, St-Pierre City and LaSalle.
As for Toronto, we are continuing to work on the sites mentioned last week. Construction issues delayed these sites from being turned on this past week, but issues are now resolved and completion of these sites is close.
We’re continuing to work to expand and improve our coverage and we hope you’re noticing a difference. Please keep the comments coming as we do forward them on to the network team.
