FAQs

Question	Answer
How long will this plan be in market?	This is a limited time offer and is subject to change without notice. Please refer to Public Mobile’s Service Terms. Please note that the promotion will not be honoured after it has ended. This includes SIM cards that have been purchased online, are in-transit and not yet activated.
Will I keep the same plan forever? Will my plan change?	Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information about our plans.
I am an existing customer. What is the difference between changing my plan immediately and changing my plan on the next renewal date?	When changing your plan, you have 2 options: (1) change your plan immediately or (2) change on your next renewal date. Here is the difference: Changing your plan immediately... You may choose to change your plan immediately if you have used all or most of your services, if your account is suspended and you would like a different plan, or if you would like to get started right away on the new plan. Here are some things you should know about this option: ● There must be enough funds in your account to cover the full amount of the new plan. ● A new payment cycle starts when you activate your new plan. ● Your plan will not be prorated, which means that any days remaining in your current payment cycle will not be credited to your new plan. ● Due to system limitations, if your account is suspended, you will need to send a private message to our Moderator Team here to change your plan immediately. You will need to be signed in to the Community for the link to work. ● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change. Changing your plan at the next renewal date… On the other hand, you may choose to change your plan on your next renewal date because it allows you to use the services you have already paid for. We recommend this option so your money can go further. Here are some things you should know about this option: ● If you choose to change your plan on your next plan renewal date, the amount owed will be automatically updated. ● If you have AutoPay set up, the amount of your new plan will be charged on your payment due date. ● You can cancel a future-dated plan change at any time by clicking on the ‘Plans and Add-Ons’ tab and selecting ‘Cancel Order’. ● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change.
What happens if the “$45 for 5.5 GB at 3G speed” plan becomes unavailable before my next plan renewal date?	If you chose to change your plan to “$45 for 5.5 GB of data at 3G speed” on the next renewal date and the request has been submitted successfully, you will still switch to “$45 for 5.5 GB of data at 3G speed” even if the promotion ends before your renewal date occurs.

So many promo going at the same time. Soon I won't be able to count them on one hand, lol. Not complaining, keep them coming. Better yet, turn these prices into the every day low price.

Would love this as a 90-day package. With the issues around switching between 90 and 30-day plans with rewards, I as a 2-year subscriber can't faithfully switch between cycle lengths.

Come on Public Mobile, make offers for both 30 and 90-day cycles.

Yes, I'm losing track of promos as well - but certainly not complaining, the more promos the better!

I'm curious what the next direction will be for Public Mobile - maybe targetting low-data users next? At this point, the $35 plan for 1GB is a poor antiquated option compared to $40 at 4.5gb, $45 at 5.5gb, or $50 at 6.5gb...

A bump up in the data for $30 or $35 a month would go a long way for those who prefer that price point.

This is great for the people that missed out. Hopefully, we will get more referrals.

More good plans. Many are waiting for it.

brent_liza — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 20:23:51 GMT

@MoreYummy yes or even if they made unlimited after the threshold and slowed the speeds down would still be nice.

Too many promos, it seems that PM doesn't have a clear vision of what plans they should offer now. Right now, it looks like Chatr, Lucky Mobile and PN are looking at each others trying to figure out how to gain more customers, without losing anyone and without spending too much money.

3G plans are becoming more and more popular, I don't know if it's a good thing, but I know that PM having their 3G plans on their LTE, they could crash the compeition by just increasing a tiny bit the speed of their plans (like 4 or 5 Mbps). Suddenly, they would become the most attractive company in the market for many who don't need to stream HD videos...

thanks for the discount:)

Re: Get 5.5 GB at 3G speeds for $45!

MoreYummy — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 00:24:14 GMT

@brent_lizaYea. Even slower speed is ok, like 10kbps.

dna2016 — Fri, 27 Jul 2018 13:50:20 GMT

@Alan_K this was a very popular promo, nice to see PM is bringing it back. Smart move, and couple this with the $25 referral credit, great way to see if an influx of new customers start to join. With that said, gotta make sure we don't have any system crashes with all the new and existing customers looking to make changes and activating. MODS might have a pretty busy few weeks ahead of them.

Internet in Canada is slow already, I think this is a good deal even it's 3G network lol

Such plans I think will be coming in the near future as the public mobile is quickly growing up.

That is what I was just wondering about, I am a new customer as of less than a month ago but, I am on a 90 day plan with : - 3GB at 4G LTE Speed /90 Days- Unlimited Canada-wide Talk- Unlimited International Text

I want to change over to the current special with the 3g speeds but I was worried it would cause an issue because I would go from a 90 to a 30 day plan.

Any idea how much difference there is between the 3g and 4g/LTE in regards to speed and connectivity?

Re: Get 5.5 GB at 3G speeds for $45!

Th3Heather — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 16:22:41 GMT

Do you use 3g currently? If so, have you used the 4g/LTE in the past and have you found a difference?
