Question 1

What is the PUBLIC MOBILE charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

This charge is a prepaid plan payment from Public Mobile, a Canadian wireless carrier. Public Mobile operates on a prepaid model, meaning your account is billed in advance for your monthly plan. The amount will vary depending on which plan you selected, such as data-only or talk, text and data bundles. If you signed up for AutoPay, these charges will appear automatically each month.

Question 2

I don't remember signing up for Public Mobile — is this charge legitimate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PUBLIC MOBILE is a legitimate charge from Public Mobile Canada, a well-known prepaid wireless provider owned by Telus. If someone in your household set up a prepaid plan, or if you previously signed up and forgot, this would explain the charge. To verify your account activity and payment history, log in at myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/payment-history where you can see all past transactions tied to your account.

Question 3

How do I stop future PUBLIC MOBILE charges from appearing on my account?

Accepted Answer

To stop future charges from Public Mobile, you need to disable AutoPay or let your prepaid plan expire without renewal. Log in to your account at myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/payment-history to review your payment settings. Since Public Mobile is prepaid, simply not renewing your plan will prevent further charges, but you should confirm AutoPay is turned off to avoid automatic billing at the next cycle.

Question 4

Why is the PUBLIC MOBILE charge a different amount than last month?

Accepted Answer

Public Mobile prepaid plan payments are variable because the charge depends on which plan is active on your account at the time of renewal. If you recently changed your plan, added a data add-on, or switched to a higher or lower tier, the charge will reflect that updated amount. You can review your full payment history and see a breakdown of each transaction by visiting myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/payment/payment-history and logging in with your Public Mobile credentials.
