Public Mobile launched their new site today. With it comes information on their plans, devices and coverage. BMV Holdings, the company behind Public Mobile, spent about CA$52 million to win the “G-block” spectrum auction covering the Windsor to Quebec City corridor in Ontario and Quebec, giving it access to about 19 million potential customers.
When it launched its new brand, it promised an unlimited flat-rate talk and text package, with no term commitment, no credit checks, no fine print and no surprises. Its one and only plan delivers on that promise. For CA$40 per month, customers will get unlimited voice and text. There will be no contracts and no credit checks.
So far, it has also unveiled one phone. The ZTE C78 is a candybar feature phone with basic functionality such as a 2-inch display, stereo Bluetooth, and VGA camera.
Public Mobile plans to launch in late 2009 in Toronto and Montreal. Additional cities in the Windsor to Quebec City corridor will be added in 2010.
