[Price Change]: 200MB Data Add-on Now $5

Catherine_T — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 11:59:56 GMT

Hi Community,

We have some exciting news to announce today! Effective July 22, 2020 the 200MB Data Add-On will be priced at $5, down from $10.

In May, we lowered our 1GB Data Add-On price, and with all the positive feedback received, we’ve made the decision to change the price of our 200MB Add-On as well. At Public, we are constantly looking for ways that we can make our services more valuable for our customers.

To get your $5 200MB Data Add-On, follow these steps:

Log in on Self Serve
Ensure you have sufficient funds in your account. If not, make sure to top up.
Go to “Plan and Add-Ons”
Select “My Add-Ons”
Select the 200MB Add-On under ‘Data’
Click ‘Buy Add-Ons

Welcome to the community @Catherine_T . I propose getting rid of it and instead adding a 500 mb one for $8.

@Catherine_T Thanks for the price change. That addon always looked overpriced ever since the 1GB 15$ change. Now its priced a bit better.

8$ for 500MB would be nice but I'm not complaining 🙂

@Catherine_T

Yeah I woulda just dropped it. At $15 for a bucket o' data that just hangs around until finished...why bother with smaller amounts.

The $30 was too much of an investment.

The $10 meh ok even though less value but less investment.

$15...just have that and leave the lesser amount behind.

Oh...and a texting only add-on.

Thanks for seeing things to adjust...making your mark 🙂

Now, if you can make the payment card processing system bulletproof on your side...

(there should never be a problem caused by your system)

Fair.

This is ok - I don't think I would ever get it or suggest it, as I would recommend the 1GB add-on.

What would be very cool is a 1yr (or 360 day) plan of unlimited talk/text for somewhere between $100-$125

Always nice to see a price reduction instead of increase. As greedy customers, we want further reductions.

@Catherine_T Thank you for such a positive change! Customers will appreciate. Also, please consider adding a 500mb addon.

A price drop is certainly better than a price increase, but I think I'm not too excited about this. $5 per 200MB is still about roughly the same as $25 per gigabyte. Bandwidth is inexpensive to provide per gigabyte. The carriers can do better than this.

@Catherine_Twelcome to this neck of the woods.

I like the direction PM is going in. I agree what is still really needed now is a texting add-on. How about it?

For those interested, please add your count and voice your interest at this thread:

How about a Texting Add-On

It would be great if Public Mobile also offered larger data buckets at an affordable price!

Maybe $30 for 3GB? 🙂

@Catherine_T

Welcome to public mobile.

Its good to see a price reduction for the 200mb data add on. It gives an option to add some data if needed if funds are limited and the customer cant afford to get the better valued $15/1gb.

Excellent, the price of a coffee at some places!

@Catherine_T maybe now's a good time to change that extra $35 plan to $30/2gb and upgrade the $35/2gb to $35/3gb like we talked about 👉👉👉👍😉
