Is it just me or does it seem like most respondents on here are biased toward Public Mobile.

Especially when referencing other cell carriers.

As we're PM customers...of course we're going to be biased. We're all "invested" in our plans...otherwise we'd be customers of the dog or some other network.

FWIW...I'm content with my PM plan...not really needing 4G or 5G. I can talk to any of my friends or relatives in Canada. PM just gave me 500 minutes of International calling to many countries. I can send / receive texts anywhere on the planet. I'm not a big data user so I still have data that was gifted to me from 2 years ago....for free. All that and I pay less than $15 for 30 days of service. I will agree that there is room for improvement...but am I biased toward PM ?....yup.

@allagelman : You betcha. This place suits my needs. Particularly add-ons that only Koodo has the same arrangement...buy once, consume over time. Nobody else does that. There's my reference to other providers.

My needs changed a couple years ago. I had a bucket of data for hotspotting. Then I didn't need to hotspot so much anymore. I had my first experience outside of post-paid with a pay as you go service in the states. Went through the unlocking process too.

Looked around for other providers and stumbled across this place as I learned they belonged to Telus. Being a Telus lifer from the west it was a no brainer.

Started with a 500mb plan for $35 and then figured out more how the place worked and my newer usage pattern and went down to the $10 plan.

I won't be paying in any new money for that account for quite some time.

I have two other accounts here too.

So yeah sure biased. Particularly around my needs and preferred service delivery.

Just try to recommend Public Mobile on the Koodo or Lucky mobile forums. 😉

@Nezgar Yeah you seem very right about that. I wish Freedom had a forum. Public Mobile Community is probably the best so far I've used.

The closest to one is the subreddit

@allagelman I'm not sure I understand the point. Given this is a PM community, why wouldn't it have a PM bias?

Am I misunderstanding you point?

@rossputin I did post this in "The Lounge". Perfect place for such a subject lol

rossputin — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 18:17:18 GMT

@allagelman but I am not sure why you think there wouldn't be a PM bias in the PM community? What am I missing?

@rossputin I never said "there wouldn't be a PM bias".

@allagelman the fact you asked connotes a surprise.

@rossputin Nothing wrong with the question. I can see the question concerns you but why would it; general question about the community I had.

@rossputin

Your first reply to this topic you stated, “I’m not sure I understand the point”.

•The point to this topic was to address why ‘most’ respondents are generally more biased toward Public Mobile when it comes to debate about other national carriers.

Everyone gave their own fair reply to how they perceived the question.

Another general concern I have about the community is that ‘most’ respondents don’t take kindly to accepting multiple solutions. (Not applicable in every scenario).

Another concern I found interesting ‘most’ respondents won’t concur that maybe another carrier is better when it comes to ‘X’ subject. (Not applicable in every scenario).

With all the negative I almost forgot to mention the positive: The positive is that the negative points are not applicable in most topics. Most respondents are great and very helpful and friendly. For example, @darlicious is great in every way and knows what to say every time. The response is so well written each reply I’d consider an acceptable solution! 😀

Getting back to topic, CSA are only helpful for certain inquiries. Most resolutions on PM are best resolved through the Community.

It is what it is. PM is okay in my opinion but I think it could use some improvement sure but it still has a lot of great benefits and rewards that make it competitive. Idk maybe I could be over thinking it but that’s my take on it to end this discussion.

🙂

OK. It's just a confusing question given this is a PM forum.

I wouldn't ask in a Koodo forum and wonder why there is a Koodo bias.

Aw....shucks!😀 But thank you....you made my day!

@rossputin

Just because it’s a PM Community doesn’t mean your not allowed to ask questions about the community or to reference other mobile carriers. Tbh my initial post never had a question mark. If you didn’t understand preferably don’t engage in the topic.

@darlicious

I’m glad I was able to do that! 😃

@allagelman

No one has said you can't ask a question. An odd remark. In fact no one can stop you.

But if you're going to post an odd question or statement, it's very reasonable to ask for clarification. This is a discussion board after all.

Tbh my initial post never had a question mark.

I never correct grammar but since you brought it up. I figured a small grammatical error, similar to the wrong "your" instead of "you're"

If you didn’t understand preferably don’t engage in the topic.

So now you're saying if someone doesn't understand a question/statement, they can't ask for clarification? 🤔
