Awesome. Now this is the cheapest talk and text plan available in the market.

When they launched 12GB promo, we all thought that PM are targeting high data users but thats not true as they have launched this for those who only want talk and text.

Thanks Public Mobile.

No; data just as currently offered.

kav2001c — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:33:16 GMT

BTW all those people interested in minimal data (remember the $90 plans) could easily use this new promo with a data add on

I know some people the 1GB can last a year

@Jeremy_M If a Legacy customer transfers to this plan, is their Loyalty Reward calculated from the date of joining Public Mobile?

Re: NEW: Talk and Text Promo Plan

Shazia_K — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:58:54 GMT

Yes,yes... yesss! 🙂 @Luddite

Say for example a customer is with Public Mobile for 3 years now, they would get the autopay reward $6 + 9$ in loyalty rewards as it's 1$ per month/year.

They would pay $66 per 90 days 😄 awesome eh?

That sound like a great plan. Hopefully we see more of these promos showing up. I am assuming there wont be so much congestion as the last promo, so this will be interesting

Re: NEW: Talk and Text Promo Plan

zhadj030 — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 19:00:49 GMT

It is still a good promo considering the current market.

Interesting offer. Looks like PM has realized that legacy customers on the $25 Canada-Wide Talk + Text did not have enough incentive to switch to a new plan, so they introduced this offer to help plug the "gap."

So, after the scheduled April 1 price increases for legacy plans, here's an updated price comparison of Koodo vs. PM Legacy vs. PM current 90-day plan monthly rates:
$19 Province-Wide Talk (K $19 / PML $22 / PMC $21.33*)
$25 Canada-Wide Talk + Text (K $25 / PML $28 / PMC $36.33* or Prov.Talk+Text PMC $23*)
$40 Canada-Wide Talk + Text + 1GB Data (K $40 / PML $43 / PMC $38*)
$45 Canadian & U.S. Talk + Text + 1GB Data (K $45 / PML $48 / PMC $43*)
$60 Canadian & U.S. Talk + Text + 2GB Data (K $60 / PML $63 / PMC $46*)
*PM Current monthly rates include $2 autopay and $2 loyalty rewards for switched legacy customers

This narrows the price gap considerably, especially for those who don't call out of province, but do text. Had they offered Canada-wide instead of province-wide talk, it would be a no-brainer to switch.

@zhadj030 I hate the promos. Let's just get great pricing all the time for every combination: calling, texting, data, calling + texting, calling + texting + data.

Hmm when will this plan be available? I currently don't see it under plans when I select the options, I know some people that will be interested...

pratchak — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 19:18:42 GMT

This is a great plan. Awesome

Excellent news to those who dont care about data. Great. Keep it up PM.

Re: NEW: Talk and Text Promo Plan

monocycliste — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 19:20:29 GMT

@tod it's already available. Just go to change plan and you select 90 day pass, unlimited provincial talk, unlimited international text, but no data and it will show 81$ for 90 days. That's 27$ per month and 25$ per month with auto-pay enable as stated in the original post.

Looks like a great plan will ask my wife to switch her carrier

@monocyclisteI didn't try that, I'm not planning on switching to this plan but I'd like to refer other people and it doesn't show up like that on the main page when I build a plan. I'm guessing it's still being updated

Looks pretty amazing
