Avoid at all cost!

When it comes to customer service, I have yet to find a worst company (along with Rogers).Haven't not yet received my regular monthly billing, I figured I'd check it with the app. "account suspended"Wait! What? Obviously my account is not suspended as I'm still using all my phones and all their features. After a lot of digging (a couple of hours, including reaching out to the venue I purchased the More

New call system. You have to make an appointment to speak to an agent, I find that ridiculous. But still, I made the appointment to discuss the $5 increase in my plan. I've been with Fido for 17 years. The agent told me I'm transferring you to the credit department. An agent who I think just woke up who is talking More

Customer retention is completely zero

I have been a Fido customer for 10 years. Comparing my current bill, given the $4/month rate increase, I looked at the exclusive offers with more data, which ultimately cost more. A new customer is offered plans for $20 less, for a reasonable amount of data More

Cheapest cell phone plan

Good mobile network provider. Much cheaper than the competition. No network issues so far. Use promo code 0ENLPY to get $10 off. The only downside is that communication with the provider is only via chat.

So much cheaper!

So much cheaper! You can't beat the prices. They use the same network as Telus, so you don't have to worry about coverage. I've never had an issue. The point system is great. You gradually acquire points which can be redeemed for money off your bill. You pay per month and are not locked into a contract, so you can switch any time. Some people won't like that they don't have proper customer More

A good price package

The primary reason I switched to Public Mobile was to save money on my monthly bill. I achieved this goal, and I have no more hassle than with my previous provider. I even have the opportunity to further reduce my bill thanks to a rewards system. Here's an example: if you sign up using my promo code (36VE3V), we'll both get a discount.

NO EMAIL don't use this company

These people took over my server account Odynet. They switched me over to their account charged me double than what I was paying and lost all my previous emails and told me it was was not their problem. Now I have no email and when I asked why I was told they are working on it. I called later that day and was told to call back tomorrow. This is unsatisfactory and i will not be renewing my account with them!!!!!!!
