Please match $34 for 50gb

mrsblondee — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 19:02:57 GMT

I'm creating a thread for us to "petition" PM to match the $34 for 50gb plans that the other carriers are offering.

Community please share your feedback in the comments! Public Mobile please take notice @J_PM. It's not too late to add a real cyber Monday deal (instead of what you are currently offering). Considering the terrible rollout with the Black Friday deals, this would be a nice move from PM.

Thanks!

I agree they should match, but keep in mind Freedom is discounted $5 for 24 months only, then the price goes up. Also there is no points system, and a terrible network. Yes they have extended network now, but I'm assuming there's still the issue of handoff when transferring between native and partner networks.

Finally, are you guys actually using anywhere near 40GB a month, let alone 50GB? Serious question.

@DennyCrane True but Fido and Koodo both offer $34 for 50gb (permanent pricing...subject to them not raising the cost that is).

Getting a plan with more data will help future proof for higher consumption needs later on.

@mrsblondee My guess is PM will match, eventually. But many PM customers on legacy rewards are still paying less with discounts anyway; that needs to be factored into the sticker price.

@DennyCrane Crossing fingers they match!

They have it, it's just not switchable for us....

Thanks for sharing @ron_ron. I can't believe they actually won't offer this new promotional plan to existing subscribers. I only signed up yesterday (after encountering so many issues since Friday trying to sign up). And I'm still having number porting issues (currently on hold with the porting time for a 2nd time). If I had known this is how they treat their customers I wouldn't have signed up.

HI @mrsblondee

did you just joined PM couple days ago? which provider you switch from?

Re: Please match $34 for 50gb

mrsblondee — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:02:33 GMT

@hTideGnow Just joined yesterday...switched from Fido. Porting still a mess >.<

HI @mrsblondee

of course I don't want to see you go, but you can still get the good deals out there (of course, you will loss your current plan $ with PM)

Thanks for this request, just switched a few hours ago from Videotron to learn that they already took away the landing page to the plan. Is it legal since they clearly mentioned it was a Cyber Monday deal?

O4Ever — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:26:37 GMT

Seems like they deactivated the link... Is that fair?!

Re: Please match $34 for 50gb

mrsblondee — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:28:54 GMT

@O4Ever They seem to be messing with us now. I hope they deactivated it in order to work on the offering and make it available to everyone.

Re: Please match $34 for 50gb

O4Ever — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:31:36 GMT

Absolutely! This should be the right thing to do since so many people are switching in order to get the best discount. I really thought Public Mobile (alias Telus) didn't hsve those dubious practices you find on other networks but I was definitely wrong I guess...

Re: Please match $34 for 50gb

mrsblondee — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:37:31 GMT

@O4Ever I agree. I switched to PM because I thought they were more customer-friendly when it came to their plans/offerings. Super disappointed.

ron_ron — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:50:08 GMT

I suspect PM is trying to justify this plan as Koodo is offering the same plan as well.

Staff: Boss, we need to match the other competitors.

Boss: OK, let's do it.

Staff: On it!

Boss: Wait! Take it offline

Staff: Why?

Boss: I meant to say OK to $34 with 4G 50GB.

@ron_ron You really made my day 🤣🤣🤣

But you know what is beautiful with tech today?! Everything is being recorded. I mean...Everything so the small prints won't lie this time!

ron_ron — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 23:07:26 GMT

I know... I have a feeling they will add the plan back this week and call it "Cyberweek Promotion" with 50GB @ 4G speed. Or if they see the petition on the other thread, maybe they will change it to 5G. It's all depending on the community...
