In the original message, you've said the card is Telus, or at least that's how I interpret your message.
is the physical SIM card labelled Telus? As far as I knew, that should not connect to Public Mobile, as it's not the Carrier branded sim.
please someone, correct me if I'm wrong.

I was so much concern with it showing Telus since my service was working well and my APN settings were set to PM. I just wanted to know if I needed to do something with my phone. Anyway thank you all for your replies.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's the same network.
Each network broadcasts a network identification number such as 302-220. The phone's software will have that network code MCC/MNC programmed in and will display the name as programmed by the sofware. Some (many) sim cards from various carriers includes instructions in them to override the phone's preprogrammed network names. But for the network name to be masked as "Public Mobile", the phone actually has to be programmed to follow the sim card's wishes to rename the Telus network. If the phone's sofware isn't set to do that, simply "TELUS" or "302-220" will be displayed as the netowrk name.
The short answer: This is all dependent on the your phone's software, and there aren't any settings to fiddle with when it comes to this. Unless a different ROM is installed on the phone, you won't be able to change this behavior.

FWIW, I used my SIM in a tablet to perform a SIM unlock. After the unlock, the network name was Telus. The same SIM in my phone shows Public Mobile. In both cases, the device connects to the network.

I've heard of some people's phones showing Telus, some showing Public Mobile. As long as your service works well, why would it matter?
