Kenora ON Service

Hi,

How well does the signal work in Kenora ON seeing we dont have a Telus presense.

In addition, does the 35.00 plan support tethering?

All Public Mobile plans allow tethering. As for Kenora, it is a fully serviced area.

@donmatlock71

tethering is permitted...yes. For Public Mobile (Telus) service in central Canada, Bell & Telus have reciprocal agreements to use each others towers etc. You should have excellent coverage.

Are you sure about that Don? Granted I drive 17A around Kenora but I have signal on my Public Mobile and Telus phones. I even have signal at Dixie Lake which isn't far from Kenora. Plus, I've always had signal at Harbourfest. Ooops... it's called something else now isn't it. Sorry. 🙂

Take a look for yourself. https://www.telus.com/en/mobility/network/coverage-map

There's no Telus store or general presence in the Kenora area, Winnipeg and Thunder Bay are closest. That could be what Don was referring to.

Thank you all. One more question: Does Public Mobile allow you to put your bill to auto-charge on your credit card? I found that many of the lower plans on other providers are now going towards taking it out of your chequing account.

Yes. I have mine to come off my credit card every month. Just easier that way. You can turn autopay off any time.

Public Mobile is a self service carrier and has no stores. Telus stores can only sell a Public Mobile SIM ccard but will not help with activation or provide any other form of customer service for Public Mobile customers. As Public Mobile does have Kenora phone numbers available and the area is covered by the network, for all intents and purposes, Public Mobile has a full prescence in Kenora, Ontario.
