@Walt The plans page is accessible by clicking on the green square with 3 lines at the top right corner of your screen. Then click on plans. Public mobile provides mobile data to your phone remotely vs WiFi that provides a signal from your home internet connection or free WiFi from different businesses like Tim Norton's or London drugs when you are near or in their retail locations or Shaw who provide free WiFi hotspots for their home customers. Phone data is independent of these sources. The $40 PLAN is a good deal for a medium customer.

Yes, 5 gigs of internet per month. Included in the $40 price tag. And don't forget to autopay for $2 in savings monthly.

Unfortunately, PM has no home internet service. They only provides cellular data.

@WaltThe $40 you mention gets you 5 Gb of data (internet connection) on your phone without any other provider like Bell/Rogers. That means you will have 5 Gb of internet to do whatever you like, where ever you like. After that is used then data (internet) is done until your plan renews or you buy more. Data = Internet on your phone. I hope this helps. Cheers

FYI If you are looking for an internet service provider. You may get it cheaper using a reseller. I'm from Toronto and I found one using Kijiji.

If you mean like the internet offered by Bell or Rogers? Then no. If you are talking about data. That was answered above. But if you already have an internet service provider, you can connect this to your phone using your WiFi password.
