Sad to Leave but there is a great offer outthere for same money!

EltonB — Thu, 20 May 2021 18:48:15 GMT

Hello guys,

I wanted to thank the community and PM. I was one of those Fall Promo plans 40$ 4gb LTE a few years ago. While for that time the PM offer was the best value for the money, it saddens me to say that at present time, it has fallen behind alot and its too expensive for what the offer was.

I ported out today to Phonebox for 40$ 10gb LTE plan of their offering. 6gb monthly more is a huge deal for me.

Anyways, I want to thank all the @CS_Agent for the quick and thorough responses they have provided to me privately.

I want to thank the community too, even though I have not posted much.

Thanks guys!

@EltonB Sorry to hear you've decided to leave, but totally understandable if you're getting better value/features elsewhere.

Also thanks for sharing where you're going, although must admit I'd never heard of them before, plus they're based in BC? Sounds like some interesting plans too.

Edit: Still for anyone not requiring a lot of data, PM's plans are still the better value, IMO... 😊

Edit 2: Those roaming plans for UK/Australia are very interesting too!

@EltonB Hey, I just noticed that too. I was about to make a post about it in the lounge.

You may have been better off staying with PM but upgrading to the 50$ plan. With your rewards it would've brought it down to the same price.... Just no 4G data.

But if 4G data matters to you, That seems to be the hottest new customer deal you could get right now.

Yes, Phonebox is a small company. You can find there plans on their site. I dont want to write more about it because I don't want to do a promo for their site. Its very easy to find by using google. I first saw about them in an add online. Its a great plan and they seem to be a Light MNO.

Thats all I will say not to promo for them as I dont get paid. 😄

Its sad that the 40$ 4gb LTE has remained the same on PM. At the time, it was great but the offers have evolved.

Yes, but I value LTE over 3G and 6gb more LTE is alot for me.

But I understand your opinion.

Thanks,

All the best 🙂

(hey.. PB Prepaid actually using Telus system. )

@EltonB Valid Point, PM is not the place for 4G LTE speed.

They must be getting a lot of new customers, wow. Even I noticed it !

Never say never! 😄

Sadly, this one is on Rogers. But they have Telus offer as well but its less gb.

Thanks,

And to clarify, I never had any problems with PM service.

I was a few of the lucky ones for the service to work great.

There was a little hiccup in the beginning but never had an issue after.

Just wanted to make that clear.

Thanks,

Rogers seems to be the carrier of choice for these hidden carriers.

Must be cheaper I guess.

@computergeek541 Could this thread get moved to the lounge ?

Thanks,

Yes Dabr,

All plans seem better than ours 😞 even Australia's.

@EltonB

Those are great higher data plans and a pretty good easy to track referral rewards. Of course click on the plans for the UK and Australia and it makes you want to cry! An easy option for US travellers too!

Rogers is getting their hands in everywhere..... I wonder if pm will come up with a competitive response like they did when shaw entered the market?

EltonB — Thu, 20 May 2021 19:20:02 GMT

@darlicious I would stay if they had.

@BearFBI

I was admonishing you but @computergeek541 got me in a double whammy!

Abyssmal.....😭

@EltonB

Too late to find out now......my account(s) might get a ittle bit more crowded with freebies or it might have a few less referrals soon....🤔

EltonB — Thu, 20 May 2021 19:27:30 GMT

Hope you get more not less @darlicious 😄

Not low enough base rates to interest me. And Rogers is not entirely great here in the mountains and valleys of BC. Telus rules out here.

EltonB — Thu, 20 May 2021 19:39:04 GMT

@Anonymous I never suggested anyone should leave PM. For me, the other offer is a much better value than what I had.
