User Reviews

Public Mobile is praised for value and ease of use with generally good coverage. However, multiple reviews highlight recurring issues with customer support and contacting help, app reliability due to updates/bugs, and cumbersome in-app payment management. Overall, users like the pricing and usability, but complaint density is highest around support and payment/app friction.

Pros

Great value plans and competitive pricing
Easy to use and quick to sign up
Good coverage and generally reliable service
Budget-friendly, low-cost and contract-free

Cons

Poor customer support and difficulty contacting help (bot responses, dropped chats)
App reliability issues and forced/buggy updates
In-app payment management is cumbersome (can't change payment details; manual payment process not easy)

Recent reviews

It's got to be quite possibly one of the worst apps you can get yourself associated with. I'm rolling on three days now trying to disconnect my number and there's nobody to be found anywhere. anybody that CAN be found seems to be too dumb to understand what I'm trying to DO, which is simply Port my number to a different company. I have written numerous service tickets and chatted with the bots many handful of times and there's nobody there competent enough to get this simple job done.Telus ownd
