Article Summary
PC Mobile offers extensive Canada-wide coverage for cell phones and plans to suit any budget. Since the plans offered are prepaid, you need to supply your own phone or buy one outright. Low-power but cheap smartphones are available, as well as old-style flip phones. You can pick up a new phone for under $150.
Buying a Smartphone from PC Mobile
The open nature of Android means there are a wide variety of smartphones on the market. The low-end smartphones offered by PC Mobile run recent versions of Android Go or an older version of Android. The hardware inside these phones is adequate, but you may find yourself wanting more. For example, the cameras on low-end smartphones are typically 5-8 megapixels and have poor performance in low-light environments. It's great for getting a quick photo, but not so good for capturing a moment you'll never want to forget.
However, Android smartphones are good at running social media and chat apps like Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. There are no two-year contracts, but PC Mobile has several affordable devices under $200 available to purchase outright.

Buy a Simple Flip Cell Phone
PC Mobile has a wide selection of smartphones, but if you're just looking for a basic talk and text plan or an emergency phone to keep in the glove box then you can save even more. A flip-phone is recognizable for many Canadians who owned a cell phone back before the Age of Smartphones. Even today it's a great choice if you just want a portable device for talk and text, and it costs under $100. There's no full keyboard to type with, but it does support basic internet services like email and browsing. Imagine doing that on your first flip phone!

Can You Use Your Current Phone?
If you have a phone you love, you don't need to buy a new one. PC Mobile is compatible with a wide variety of phones and your old carrier should even unlock your phone for free! You can even keep the phone number you currently have when you switch to another carrier.
