BYE BYE ROGERS

Thank you so much Public Mobile for the fantastic plan. I am so happy to leave Rogers after 15+ years and finally get a good mobile plan. I ordered my sim during the 12G promotion and could not be happier. My iPhone is so much faster on LTE with Public Mobile and I get service in places where I did not with Rogers. Once again thanks 🙂

Welcome @Kimber1

In fairness, every carrier has spots of good coverage and bad coverage.

For me (20+ years with Rogers) - my signal levels at home with PM are slightly worse than Rogers (but still good enough for rock solid service) since the cell site is half a kilometre further away.

But the switch was worth it since my wife and I are saving over $960 a year! (yes, you read that right!).

Welcome and keep saving with PM.

Best Regards

Welcome to PublicMobile !

I dumped Rogers 10 years ago. Best thing I did ! Went to Fido (even worse mistake) and then Mobilicity and then Wind. The last two were actually pretty decent with "unlimited" plans for reasonable prices. The latest offering from Wind/Freedom made me switch to PublicMobile. To get LTE with Freedom I was looking at having to purchase new phone that has the Band 66 frequency. Was not ready to drop $500+ for a new phone and then also pay higher monthly price for LTE.

PublicMobile was the best deal going with the promo so activated the SIM with a seperate number and then made the switch on Christmas Eve before my billing cycle with Freedom. Porting took about an hour (via self-serve) and all has been working perfectly. Purchased the Long Distance Addon since it rolls over until used just in case I need to make any out of province calls. Also phone/texting/data worked well when I was out of the GTA for new years (was north of Cobourg).

Really cannot go wrong for $38/month. 🙂 I've talked to friends and they are ready to switch too. Need to wait for another promo so they can make the change.

Save some time and order a SIM card while you wait.

(Order a spare too to keep on hand (just-in-case)).

Welcome to Public Mobile. The competition needs to take notice that many customers want good value, no nonsense service.

That is awesome!! I was very happy with our yearly savings of $360 but we were on a share everything with only 2.5gb of data so having 12gb each over 90 days is amazing and we won't use it all but nice to have. @hopetindall remember that is a minimum savings participate in the forum a bit get some community rewards and I bet you will easily save over $1000 for the year!!!

Hi I moved from mobilicity which was moved to chatr. I was paying 25$ for unlimited province wide talk, unlimited north America text/mms and unlimited data(6 gb 3g speed then unlimited at 2g speed) but it has zone restrictions.
For that reason I move both my and my wife's line to pm 40$ for 4 gb promotional plan and we are very happy. Paying more but enjoying the awesome service and great coverage.
I got 2$ referral and 2$ auto pay reward so paying 36$ for me and 38$ for my wife.
Happy New year and all the best.

Congrats!!

I'm actually sad to say that I ported my number over from Rogers considering that our family has been a loyal group of customers since 1988 - yes, 1988 when my Dad bought a bag phone for the car.

We stayed with Rogers while bills for our cable, internet, and wireless skyrocketed over the past several years - this ends soon as our last accounts will be off Rogers by the end of Jan 2017.

Looking forward to seeing where all of this goes!

Welcome abraod. Wondering what plan you on with rogers that save you so much, you must have some very bad plan and you dding bother to switch. 🙂

Btw to be fair, Telus and Bell are using the same old trick as rogers.

Happy holiday!

@paulie

I'm just catching up on the threads, so this may be already suggested, the regular plan for about $40/month with 6GB is a great deal on it's own, and as Public Mobile doesn't discriminate against existing members, if another promo happens, a future dated plan change will be accepted if need be.

Tell your friends to come now... it is certainly worth it.

Re: BYE BYE ROGERS

Rockdaddy22 — Tue, 03 Jan 2017 17:09:57 GMT

I still think that's an amazing plan 🙂

I was stuck with Virgin for some time (about 2 or so years). Went from $39/month (300 mins, 300MB, Unl. Text) to the Promo $120/90 day (or $35/month after my discounts here) (Unl. Prov. Talk, Unl. Text, 12GB/3 months) and I am so much happier now. If I wanted the same equivalent plan without changing my grandfathered plan with Virgin, it would've cost something like $39/month for the plan + $190/month to get to 4GB (NO ADDONS FOR DATA, just overage charges to get there) + $25/month (Unl. Talk, albeit Canada wide, never used it, only called Province) = $287.02/month (taxed)

That's a savings of $2,969.64 per year for me!!! (Well... My parents still pay my phone bill, but they're much happier now that it's gone down in price instead of up!!)

To be fair, that was a terrible plan and you could've changed it.

That's exaggerating a little too much, 4gb plan from the big 3 around $80-$100

I agree that the 4GB fall promo was an awesome deal. Adding the $15 LD add on basically covers all my needs

I was with Rogers for almost 16 years... finally glad to be rid of them too. Their mobile plans were not good. I'm glad I saw the light! Switching to PM will save me approximately $804/year... enough to go on a vacation!
