Why would public mobile send out a text telling us to switch to Telus? Is this for real?

hi @OldFlinty

Telus owns Public Mobile and Koodo, and they will send email like this

@Handy1 , if these migration plans are so good why are you still here? 🤔

looks legit as I got the same text.

5 for 25 is good plan for some.

I personally don't need it on that line as my Koodo gives me 95GB so sticking up with basic $19 for 1gb.

I didn't think he's saying it's a good plan...he's simply reporting on an SMS he rec'd from Telus. He's done this in the past when other offers or incentives have circulated. I interpret it as he's informing the broader Community rather than suggesting anyone bail out and go to Telus.

Torn on this upgrade. My $19/3GB plan is solid, and I don't really need an extra 2GB/mo. But getting 5G speeds and WiFi calling back is a strong pull.

just inquired about the plan--I was told Unlimited Canada-wide minutes and messaging ,NO unlimited international text and picture messaging, if that mattered to anyone.

Went to the Telus store to switch 2 accounts(YES its legit) She had it mostly done and announced that there was a $80. /per account activation fee.---I GUESS I'M STAYING WITH PUBLIC MOBILE.

@bigblue I’m sure if you called in you could have this activation fees waived, or just doing online yourself . But when you need brick and mortar store , you’re more likely going to have activation fee , to cover the Telus employees

thanks- I'll try myself or phone direct

Re: New Telus migration plan

bigblue — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 15:07:14 GMT

just phoned telus direct-there is an $80/phone number transfer fee even if you do it online or over the phone.

@bigblue well that’s disappointing, maybe it’s different for everyone kinda like here at public not everyone gets same offers most offers I get thru text say activation fee waived

I recently got one of those offers too, and have been trying to figure out if it is legitimate or not. even with the activation fee you mentioned above I almost wonder if it would be worth it just to switch to tell us. I am so sick of not getting a actual breakdown each month in an invoice on how much data I use with public. My invoice always only shows the amount I owe and does not give any data. Use information.
