History
After being announced on December 1, 2017, Lucky Mobile launched on December 4. At launch, the network is available for users in 17 metro areas in Canada. The launch was viewed as a way for BCE to compete with the discount mobile brands Chatr and Public Mobile operated by its competitors Rogers Communications and Telus, respectively. Like Chatr but unlike Public Mobile, Lucky Mobile offers a limited selection of low end smartphones for sale outright. In March 2018, the carrier's service area expanded to include Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Network
Lucky Mobile operates as a mobile virtual network operator offering pre-paid calling, texting, and "3G-like" throttled speed data running on Bell Mobility's 4G network with pre-paid plans in select Canadian markets. In independent speed tests conducted in April 2018, although the Lucky Mobile network shows as 4G on users' mobile phones, speed tests show maximum download speeds around 3 Mbps which would indicate that speeds on the Lucky Mobile network are indeed throttled.
Phones
Lucky Mobile carries three budget Android smartphones and one flip phone.
Retail presence
Lucky Mobile SIM cards are sold in Walmart, Glentel and The Source locations. In addition, customers can also order these by phone or on the company's website. At launch, the company does not operate any stand-alone locations.
