When checking for phone compatibility, the simplest check is to look for B4 FDD-LTE.  If that is available, it means the phone is design for the North American market.

@Ed @Luddite has given you the correct info.  3G data speeds (regardless of whether you choose a "3G" or "4G" Public Mobile data plan) is all you will be able to get in most of the country.  Which phone is that?

The frequencies supported by PM are found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telus_Mobility.

Try looking up your phone here: willmyphonework.net

GSM: PM does not support GSM at all

WCDMA (aka 3G I believe): B2 & B5 so you should be ok for 3G

LTE: B4 provides broadest coverage so it will be hit & miss if at all

In summary: looks fine for calling, texting, 3G data but not LTE. Please use the links to do your own research.
