Public Mobile Quietly Tests $34 60GB 5G Plan With 512 Kbps Data After Cap

The prepaid brand is surfacing the offer to select subscribers within account Change Subscription menus only.

Overview

  • The $34 option provides 60GB of 5G data with nationwide unlimited talk and text, then continues data at up to 512 Kbps instead of stopping service.
  • iPhone in Canada reports the plan is not listed on Public Mobile’s website and is appearing only to some existing customers after they sign in to change subscriptions.
  • Public Mobile advertises speeds up to 250 Mbps on 5G for these plans and notes that actual performance may vary based on device and network conditions.
  • The 512 Kbps throttle is faster than rival discount brands that typically slow to about 128 Kbps, such as Chatr and Lucky Mobile.
  • A separate targeted offer gives existing users a $45 plan with 80GB usable in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, plus unlimited calling and messaging in those regions and 1,000 monthly long-distance minutes to select countries.
