This is one of the better cellular deals I've seen in a while. It's very very close to American cell pricing. Activated two of my family members and we're saving $30 a month now.

If anyone wants an additional $10 off their bill, PM me for a referral code.

FYI, this post has been reported because OP pushed for his referral. While I’m also uncomfortable with it, I’ve decided not to remove it, as the community isn't high volume at the moment, and OP didn’t hide their referral in the posted URL but said they could be contacted to get a referral. If these posts become more common, I’ll apply more stringent rules.

If you have any opinion, please don't hesitate to voice it by replying to me here or by PMing me.

It looks like it's 30GB for every 90 days...10GB per month. Or am I reading the terms wrong?

Hmm...it also says at the bottom Quebec residents only

No, shouldn't be like that.

You're probably right, but this part confused me: "⁴Total data allotment is provided upfront for the 90-day subscription plan at time of purchase. Data usage resets every 90 days upon auto-renewal of your subscription. "

So are you given 90GB of data every 3 months?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Correct if you select that option.

Is this one of those deals that you get to keep forever, or the kind where they hike up the price after a while and you have to call every year and threaten to cancel?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

No, they don't touch your price. You will get grandfathered with the chance to upgrade to new plans for cheaper or free.

Do they also have call control like other Telus brands?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn't look like it as of last year: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Get-Support/Call-Control/m-p/771729#M511754.
