I don't really care about the rewards, but I did roll my eyes at the email.
I just got back from a year in Austria, where I was paying €9,90 a month (with the first 3 months free!) for unlimited calling and 60GB of data with Europe-wide roaming, and Public seemed like the best deal at ~3x the cost for less.
Chatr and Freedom have annual prepaid plans that work out to less than $25/month, if you don't mind the risk of using up your data too early in the year. Koodo has similar plans except they're for 360 days instead of a full year.
(If the link doesn't work, it's the Mobile Virtual Network Operators)
Most country mobile networks have like 3 or 4 major operators who actually own their towers and networks, and then operate a bunch of lower cost "virtual" network operators either wholly owned by the major operator or renting a subset of network usage.
Generally the major operators don't have super low cost plans, but the Virtual Networks do

Canadian phone plans really do suck.
I also use them, but my phone bill is only $25/month.
Where can one go to get something close to the same price?
Public Mobile is Canadian. Owned by Telus

Your best bet would likely be to try one of these

I'm guessing they pass the server cost savings to you? 😅
