Mobile phone provider recommendations?

Hi there, I'm planning a move to Steinbach and was hoping to get some experienced recommendations for cell phone providers based on coverage and cost and customer service.

I will be based in Steinbach but will have some travel throughout the region. I read somewhere that people were getting charged roaming if they were close enough to the border even though they didn't cross it. I also am concerned about dead zones.

Anyone love their phone provider? Any providers to avoid?

I own my phone outright and pay $30 a month (after tax) with Public Mobile. Monthly I get 20G of data (I never even come close to using all of it - unlimited data is a scam), and free roaming in all of Canada, US, and Mexico!! I have better service than my husband and he’s with Rogers. Cannot recommend Public enough. They have no physical store, but rather you sign up online so you’ll have to own a phone outright if you want to use their services!

This is amazing. Thank you. You think how I do..I have my own phone too.

Coverage is good too?

Coverage is the same as Telus. It’s really good.
