No mobile apps for Public mobile.

There are no plans for mobile app. Public mobile is a low cost, no frills type of mobile company. To keep costs lower, extras like mobile apps are not offered.

Sorry there's no mobile app.

Some people find it useful to put Public Mobile as a bookmark on their homepage though 😉

Public Mobile's re-boot of it's self-serve site is definitely more mobile-friendly than it's predecessor.

At least we've got that.

@bluejay0102 No, they don't have one now

Very likely you won't see one any time soon

Telus , who owns PM, is not a business that like App a lot. Koodo used to have one but Telus "killed" that couple years ago

But with the current My Account a Mobile friendly site, you can save the link and "Add to Home screen". You can then easily click on the link from your home screen and it will act almost like an app. Afterall, many apps these days are just a wrapper of the mobile sites

This was a question I asked when I joined PM.

It will costly to maintain and update an app which will increase plans cost.
