NoName Mobile just started to offer $15 cell phone plan. For $15 you'll get up to 2GB of data, unlimited Canada-wide and to the US phone calls.
This is the best offer I can find today (March 2026) for budget cell phone plan which includes unlimited calls, SMS, and small amount of data.
NoName mobile runs on PC Mobile which in turn runs on Bell. Anywhere there is Bell Canada coverage you should have good NoName Mobile coverage.

Not bad, but of course, any new player does that to attract new customers. Their rates will creep up overtime.

Koodo PREPAID (running on Telus/Bell network) also offers a 360day plan for $149 upfront for 360 days, giving you unlimited Canada calling and International texting in Canada, and a total of 30GB upfront. This is equivalent to $12.42 with 2.5GB/30 days. Equivalent to a $15/mon plan with 2 months free/yr.
So you can use your data as you need. Just be careful not to use it all up at once.

P.S. Koodo PREPAID also has a referral system to get $25 credit by using a referral code, and $25/referral if someone uses your referral code (max $75 per rolling 12 months, based on anniversary date).

Hopefully it will start some type of better offers or improvements to some of the economy plans.
Here is Freedoms plans. Public Mobile (owned by Telus) $20 plan and current $18 Public Mobile, for existing customers only.

Nope. These have been in place for some time now and there has been no movement in the economy plans for a while. I doubt this new one from No Frills will have any impact.

I have the $18/month plan with Public Mobile which works fine for me.

Noname Mobile plan includes calls to the US. This is rarity among Canadian under $20 cell phone plans. This is the option that I do use.
Worth to mention that just last week that same cell phone plan used to be $19, in line with cheapest monthly prepaid cell phone plans from others. It is now $15. They also currently offer SIM card for half its regular price. Maybe No Frills wants to undercut competition.
This is also deviation from PC Mobile set of cell phone plans, which were in line with Noname Mobile. PC mobile does not offer $15 cell phone plan, as of today.

How much Loblaws steals from customers they could offer mobile plan for $0.

This NoFrills thing has been around for a few years, I know someone who's used it since it came out.
When Rogers shut down its prepaid plans near the end of 2024 to keep me they gave me unlimited anywhere text and Canada talk for $5/month and said it wouldn't increase. So far they've been good on their word. I don't use data, barely use a phone at all so for now I'm keeping that. I believe I have the best deal of any human.

Hello fellow frugalites
I had the public mobile $15 a month plan for my son and it recently creeped up to $18 a month and it basically gave him zero data and limited outgoing call minutes.
I switched both my sons over to the freedom $159 annual plan which now gives them 3 GB/mth of data (40GB for yr for you to manage) and as long as we stay with this plan, they have a price freeze promise this plan locks in at $15 a month. It was a no-brainer much better value than public mobile and three months in we have had zero issues and there is also a lot of freedom online support through direct chat, which I was not able to get any support through public.

This is not true.
At the time of price increase PM was offering $18 plan with unlimited calls/sms and 1GB data.
For those who did not pay attention $18 was just 'plain' price increase with whatever your $15 had. Very old $15 plan did have 100 min outgoing minutes and 250MB data.
Let's see how long this 'price promise' will be kept. I do NOT trust ANY telco with their 'price freeze'...

@CAD you are 100% correct. When my PM plan went from $15 to $18, PM advised to check new subscriptions and the better $18 plan was offered.

There are several options to investigate for better priced plans.
The 3rd tier flanker brands, Public from Telus, Chatr from Rogers, Lucky from Bell and the 2nd/3rd tier Fizz from Freedom/Videotron. No Name and PC Mobile as mentioned. The 2nd tier often have good sale prices, Koodo from Telus, Fido from Rogers and Virgin from Bell. Freedom mobile also has good sale and/or regular pricing. Across those couple there are also prepaid plans which can be a good value. Some of the big 3 offer some low cost prepaid plans as well.
There are some additional benefits to these other providers at times, like rewards programs, there are also some downsides, like missing features. But there are some options available to look for something different that better suits your needs.

Other benefits to consider are referral credits. Telus/Koodo/Public Mobile all offer this. Do not know about other providers.
Telus is standard $50 for both referrer and referee, max $300/yr, with annual promos typically in Feb/Mar time frame that doubles both.
Koodo is standard $25 for both referrer and referee, max $75/yr, with promos that doubles that but do not know any patterns.
Public is standard $10/referral + $1/month as long as referee stays, no max but no promos in a long time.
Fizz also has some plan.

A warning: All my friends who tried anything running on the Freedom Mobile network never renewed, and two paid hefty fees to finish off their contracts. The service is unreliable, with strange noises on the line all the time and frequent dropped calls. Coverage is spotty, too.
