Do Bell  limit the bandwidth of Telus who in turn limit Public Mobile? I am having cell phone issues(loosing reception) in locations I had no issues with Telus or Koodo.+

@sheytoon     I remember you mentioned that before about no priority with the different brands.  Thanks for confirming!! 

@computergeek541 is correct. There's no priority between the different tiers of service. A Telus subscriber has the exact same priority as Bell, Koodo, Virgin, PM, or Lucky.

for Telus towers it goes Telus, Bell, Koodo, Virgin, PM, Lucky, etc. If the tower is oversaturated (peak hours) we will simply be kicked off that particular tower and connect to a further/less congested tower.


I'm almost certain that this isn't right.  While customers can be bumped from one cell site to another do to network congestion, I would say that doesn't happen based on the brand that you're subscribed to.  I believe that @sheytoon has inside industry knowledge about this.

@Lester2 generally speaking no.  Bell does not give 2nd  class service to Tekus.  For Telus,  it only limit PM with the LTE speed and other than that, no network priority for Telus  or Koodo.

 

do you only have voice call issue or data as well?

 

Can you try your PM sim on another phone?
