Thanks for that info guys, I think it's unfortunate that you need more than one band for 4g, and that this phone doesn't support that.
I also messaged an agent.
edit: thanks for all the replies

@publicuser1234 I wouldn't get that phone. If the specs are accurate, it only has LTE B7 that is compatible with PM. Your reception will be terrible and there's a good chance voice calls will not work at all.
Network:
FDD:B1/B3/B7/B8/B19/B20/B28A/B28B/B40
WCDMA:B1/B8

To add, if you're looking for an affordable phone, Moto has some on sale.

Costco has them on cheaper.

@publicuser1234 - I believe it will work with Public Mobile. If you are unsure, click the link:

according to the spec, it has the necessary 3G network for voice but not enough 4G bands for stable data connection
Also, spec on those phones are not reliable, I would not suggest using it on On, especially if you need to buy it new now
Add: these are the bands needed for PM network

Hey @publicuser1234
Several users report that purchasing phones from different countries don't work on PM. Might want pick something up local.
Here is a link from PM which freqs they use. According to @computergeek541 this may not be up to date.
