Great to see another promo. Wel done pm. No doubt it is a Canada best cell network.

It is a promo, but it is another targeted promo in a way

Yeah.. I wonder how one would go about getting it if they are already a PM customer and are tied to their number...

For someone with another provider, anyone can get it (even if not currently a FM customer)

I wish it wasn't targeted, but I'm very happy nonetheless 🙂 Thank you @Jeremy_M

I would think it is targetted as to not have a neutral market share increase (e.g. people coming from Koodo or Telus).

I would have hoped that if that was the case, it would be open to anyone coming from a list of competitors, and not just 1.

Re: Competitive Response: Limited Time Offer for Freedom Mobile Customers

Rockdaddy22 — Wed, 16 Aug 2017 16:43:11 GMT

Just exclude Telus or Koodo customers then.

This is much more the kind of plan people expect from PM. I just wish it were open to all customers, not targeted. Still, it'll probably be popular enough to cause some assistance backlog, like the last Freedom-targeted promo.

Really wish I could get in on this, as I pay $165 for the exact same thing.. 😞

At the very least, I can get my wife on board who's paying about the same amount on Freedom.

@RLBL You MUST have a Freeedom account to access this promo; it can be any account type. The promo end date will be announced a few days before the drop dead date.

Previously, folks not on Freedom got an account there, and then activated a new PM account porting in the FM number. Once done, they port-in their preferred number from whichever carrier has it.

I assume that we will loose any referal bonuses, since we are essentially dropping our old PM account for a new one, correct?

@SD08 As with many things at PM there is a workaround. See my post.

PM May honor the promo to you. Just PM one of the mods. If it was like a month ago you'd probably SOL, but if it was only a few days ago you'll probably be safe.

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, current PM customers shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get it, just like last time.

Hoops are the fun part of PM's approach to garnering business!
