[kwlug-disc] cell phone plans

[Ron Singh]

My clan of 4 used to be on Public Mobile, Fido, Bell and Rogers.
No more, we are all on Public Mobile for the last 5 years and are very
happy.
Their webpage for logging into your account is onerous, requiring TFA via
texted numeric code unless one agrees to yet another cookie on your PC.

Overall though, very happy with their service(they are owned by Telus, a
hugely discounted stock right now due to high debt costs, cost overruns
rolling out 5G and increased competition) as we've never experienced
service disruptions and rarely have a dropped call.

I am living in Saskatchewan and Ontario and man, it's nice having many Gigs
for hotspotting while killing time in airports every 4-5 weeks!
The Telus service out there is perfect too.
Cheap SIMs too, 5 bucks get you one mailed to you.
