Is Public Mobile getting a US & Canada Plan?

I see Freedom Mobile has added US coverage to their $34/30GB plan (https://mobilesyrup.com/2023/12/14/freedom-34-30gb-5g-gets-canada-us/). For anyone regularily corssing the border, that looks quite tempting.

Will Public Mobile follow?

We currently have Public Mobile on two phones, and maintain a second eSIM on each phone with T-Mobile prepaid at $15 USD/mo, but would be nice to have all in a single plan for convenience (especially if we could still maintain both a US and a Canada number).

Fonus is another option that looks interesting (https://www.fonusmobile.com/), but it seems to work through an app, and not sure how that would function in practical terms.

Any rumour of Public Mobile/Telus stepping up to match Freedom Mobile on this one?

PM has had a Canada and US plan for several weeks already. Look in the plan menue and make your selection if thats what you want.

Good news! Albeit, not on the $34 plan which is quite interesting

They do have Canada US plans which allow you to combine your complete data allotment in either two countries and you also maintain full calling and texting functionality

HI @WRXFiles1

they have Canada-US plan, but only selected one. $65 for now

personally, I don't see PM will add this to the basic plan like $34

And Fonus, stay away. Lots of bad reviews

Ah, got it - I didn't look as far as the $65 plan as we'd never use that volume of data.

HI @SJC1 /@ WRXFiles1

They had $50 plan before. But PM only has $65 plan now, maybe they don't want to compete with Koodo directly
