Will it work with PM ?

The phone has arrived, everything is working fine.  I also put in a Rogres SIM card and it passed the test.

Incredible all they pack in 100$ in China.

I ordered the phone, will let you know how it goes.

I have xiaomi mi max 3 global version that wasn't on the list either. Gambled and it worked fine.

Ordered there once, had no problems whatsoever.

I'm just not sure about the phone itself and networks...

I too am interested at this price. My parents have my Lumia 650 and its starting to die (Screen goes black, needs the power button held to hard reset then stays alive for a few hours to a day then needs it done again. Factory reset did not fix). For $94 it would be great for them.

Where is this phone selling for C$95?

For $100, I may try a dual SIM phone.

It's too new for it to have gotten included in the list of phones on the PM list (https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-started), but PM also states that

Public Mobile uses the following frequency bands:

• 4G LTE and LTE Advanced: 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz downlink and 1700 MHz uplink (AWS).
• HSPA: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz (UMTS).

and the phone model you stated corresponds to the specs, so it should work.

It will work with PM.  It does not support all the frequecies band used for LTE.  But the main 

band 4 is supported.  You may not get LTE in some locations. This phone has the 3G to fall back on.  PM use 3G for voice call only.  Since text message is piggy backed on the voice packets, text messages will be fine too with the 3G signal.
