Here at Public Mobile, you bring your own phone and activate it using a Public Mobile SIM card. While we don’t sell phones, there are a number of ways you can get a phone that suits your needs. You just need to make sure that your phone is unlocked and compatible with our Canada-wide 4G LTE network.
Your phone should work on our network, if your phone specifications match the following bands:
- For 3G use (UMTS/HSPA): 850MHz/1900MHz bands
- For 4G/LTE use: 1700MHz/2100MHz bands
- For 4G/LTE use: 700 MHz band
You can check whether your phone will work on our network by entering your IMEI numberhere Instructions on how to obtain your IMEI number are also provided in the link.
Before you do that, we want you to know that the IMEI Checker is meant as a reference only – it isn’t 100% accurate due to the wide variety of phones on the market, and Public Mobile cannot guarantee service on a particular phone. Feel free to let us know if you find a discrepancy with the IMEI checker.
Note: If the IMEI checker reports your phone as lost or stolen, contact the source that you got the phone from, to determine why this is happening. A phone that is reported as lost or stolen can't be activated on the Public Mobile network.
