PC Telecom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PC mobile is a Canadian brand which sells long distance service as well as mobile telephony products and services.

History

PC mobile started in the summer of 2005[1] as another President's Choice product of Loblaws Inc., although the domain name PCmobile.ca was registered on January 17, 2005. It offered prepaid products and services as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) reselling Bell Mobility services in Canada. There are also PC long distance cards sold with competitive international rates. The company originally only sold CDMA feature phones. Various HSPA+ feature phones as well as Android smartphones were added throughout the early 2010s. In 2013, PC mobile announced the sale of postpaid phones and monthly services at its full-service The Mobile Shop kiosks.[2] According to the PC mobile privacy policy for the postpaid services only, "PC mobile is a business name of Loblaws Inc. used under license by TELUS Communications Company for the operation of the [postpaid] PC mobile voice and data Monthly services." [3] Loblaws continues to operate the prepaid services as a Bell MNVO, as previously.
