$34 for 50gb - is unlimited data included?

[Mhutu]

For the $34 for 50gb plan, is unlimited data included after the 50gb limit is reached? I don't see any language specifically in the fine print about unlimited data for this plan but want to double check before switching.

I saw this too, but the one that says unlimited also has the superscript 1. I guess basically it boils down to, if it says unlimited, it's unlimited. If it doesn't say it, it's not. So then my only question is, do the let you go over and charge you for it or do they do a person a favor and cut it off at your cap and leave you alone?

This thread was started more than 3 months ago, and there were times in the past when there have been $34 plans that either did or didn't include unlimited data.  The quetsion that was asked was answered with informaiton acurate at that time.

Very good question. There is indeed a $34/mo plan with unlimited data, but it is buried near the bottom of the list, while the $34/mo plan without unlimited data is prominently displayed at the very top.

The difference between the two current plans (July 2024) is that the plan without unlimited data includes unlimited Canada-U.S. wide minutes and texting, while the plan with unlimited data restricts the unlimited minutes and texting to Canada. 

Both have unlimited international text and picture messaging. 

I’m posting the two plans below.

Thank you for the clarification. I found similar here. https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Data-Overage/m-p/1132540

I am surprised at the knowledgebase in the community here. I am quite happy!

hi @Floatplanes 

PM is a prepaid provider, so, they will not charge extra.  You have to buy before you use any service

So, if you have a plan without unlimited data, once you reached the max, data will just stop working

of course if you have a plan with unlimited data (like the $35 5G Canada-only plan), data will run at 512kbps if you reached the limit

I saw this too, but the one that says unlimited also has the superscript 1. I guess basically it boils down to, if it says unlimited, it's unlimited. If it doesn't say it, it's not.

@hairbag1 It's really not that confusing. Those are standard T&C's where you match the term number to the numbers noted in the plan description. This is not unique to PM.

[DennyCrane]

It doesn't say unlimited anywhere in the plan description, and it's been clarified here. The answer is no. Once your data is used up it stops altogether. Plans that included unlimited throttled data will say that in the plan description.

Along with all the other un-nessessarily confusing "fine print".

Hello @Mhutu 

I guess you're right. It's not very clear to people new to Public Mobile. Let me show you how we as regulars here determine it.

As you can see by this screen shot, I've circled the 1. 

Right beside it is this. Offer Details.

Now, here's a screen shot of a plan that offers unlimited throttled speeds. Noticed the circled 2. 

Under "Offer Details"....  2 states unlimited throttled speeds.

Once again, I see how it can be confusing. But this is your answer.

I am trying to clarify if with this plan I will be able to continue using data after 50gb limit is reqched but with a lower speed.  I also have a support ticket in and they have indicated that with this plan i will be able to continue using data but in a lower speed.  Not clear right now

@Mhutu 

All of the Public mobile US-Canada cell plans do not have unlimited throttled data after the regular plan data is used up.

Simple answer, no.
