$50 plan above makes no sense when you have the better $45 plan. 🤔

softech — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 15:01:33 GMT

@Hollister I agree that. Still cannot tell why there is a the $50 for 20 GB. Pricier and the data only last 12 months while $45 - 20GB is a "forever" plan.

@J_PM- Can you please state for the record (for this promo) that if one activates on one of those 3 2 plans and gets the 12 gigs that...they can change the plan between those 3 2 plans (assuming the 3 2 plans remain unchanged) and continue to receive the 12 gigs? Or are they stuck with the plan they chose at activation for the entire year of the promo?

It has never made any sense to me to disallow changing plans within the promo plans. But that's the boilerplate wording used in the promo. But we have heard in the past that changing is possible. I'd just like that option clarified...for the record.

Thanks

@Hollister- Poof...updated. 🙂

Please bring support for e-sim. It is high time. You can charge the same $5 for the activation/transfer from physical sim to e-sim or a new purchase, but e-sim support is very important with more and more phones moving away from physical sim support

Re: Boxing Week Deals on Now!

softech — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 18:27:19 GMT

@anandmarar it is true that more phones have eSIM as an option, but I don't think more phones are moving away from physical sim at the moment.

So, far, only iPhone in US has moved away from physical sim card completely. All other phones on the market now still have physical sim as an option

I think VoLTE is more pressing needs for PM

dabr — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 20:05:00 GMT

@softech I don't see the $50/20GB and I think it was $55/20GB with $20 off for 14months before? I know PM removed the $55/20GB plan a few days ago along with most of the other higher priced plans. However, PM has added back $55 plan but it only has 8GB data. An odd decision to include the $55/8GB and $40/5GB in the available plans since other promos/plans offer so much better value currently.

@dabr you missed the fun.

PM posted a $50 8 Gb plan and 12GB bonus for 12 months deal earlier this morning. It didn't make sense given there is a better$45 plans now. So, PM accepted our advise and took it down quickly

@softech Ahh, I see...lol

@softech

Thats probably because of the lack of competition in the rest of Canada because those with a Quebec phone number benefit with a data bonus of 42GB on the $50/8gb plan which is $50/50GB A whopping 30GB more than what is being offered to the rest of Canada due to the utter lack of competition in those markets. If anyone wants to wonder why the Competition Bureau of Canada is killing the Rogers-Shaw deal this is why?! Viva Videotron!!

Yeah it would good to allow existing customers in on these dreams...

Sweet deals, I want one!
Just wondering, my plan was renewed on the 17th, can I set it to "change at my renewal date" or, since this is a "limited time offer", it won't be available? I think that's what happened to me for the black Friday special I tried to switch to (at renewal date, NOT immediately).

Thanks for your help everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Better change, quick! 😉

Re: Boxing Week Deals on Now!

darlicious — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 21:09:06 GMT

@Da6s

You can schedule a change plan on next renewal to one of the current "4G" plans in your self serve with similar plan data amounts. Either the $40/15gb or the $45/20gb. If these plans are pulled from "in market" offers pm will honour any scheduled plan changes after they have been pulled but you should take a screenshot of the scheduled plan change just in case there is an issue at renewal.

Right on thanks! I thought I changed to a "new plan" for the cyber Monday deal but it didn't change, are you (or anyone reading this) aware of where I can see if there are "upcoming changes" that I've made? Nothing shows on the "plans & add-ons" screen as I'd expect.

HI @Da6s

if you login to My Account using Private/Incognito/secret mode , go to Plan & add-on page, click Change My Plan. If you see a big note saying you have a scheduled plan change, then yes, there is one upcoming. If not, then No, you don't have any plan change scheduled

They're killing it? That's surprising. Since the competition bureau is in the pockets of the telecoms.
