Is a Samsung A70 compatible with Public Mobile? It does not appear to be one of the models in their drop down options when checking.

Yes it will work. The compatibility checker is not always up do that with all the new phones. As they have to be manually added to the list.

As long as the phone has Public Mobile frequency and is unlocked it will work.

I'm seeing Telus/SaskTel/Bell also use a lot more LTE 2600Mhz/band 7 in the last few years...
