PM should have 4GB / $40 promo plan more often to attract more customers

I hope PM should have this promo plan more often to attract more customers. I have a few friends and relatives asking about PM service and they are waiting for the promo to join.

per what? 30 days? 90 days?

I am pretty sure PM has a huge client base since the last promo... There default plans are much lower than any Big three I know and your friends/family can ALWAYS swap to a new promo once a new promo arrives. Not sure why they are waiting.

@mikga, I would still have your friends join now and get the savings early and then if/when the next promo comes out they can jump to it then

I would hope and am pretty sure that PM will be making sure that their system has had the upgrades required to handle the large influx of demand that was put on the system during the last Promo before they startup a new offer.

@mikga.... sorry I don't agree.

The backlog in service was just recently cleared up. I would give PM some time to get ready for another influx of customers rather than blowing the roof off like last time.

Besides, I would guess that they are okay with their numbers right now....

It's clear after the last promo that there were many tehcnical gltiches and ven still there are many glitches popping up. It's great ot expand customer base but at what expense. With all the maintenance laterly im sure they are addressing htis, but until then i don think any more promos coming.

Plus the regular plans are still great for most people.

They would love to offer it again, but not if the system has lots of problems that need to be fixed. The current $120/6gb is still a good deal so they can stay on it till new promo release.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I came because I could get a fantastic deal compared to the all the others. I started looking in Dec 2015, and was going to get the $90/90 Day plan if I determined the service was going to be better than what I had with WIND.

When I finally decided to flip, I missed out on that plan, but the 6GB - 90 Day - Prov Wide and texting was $120 (same as promo when it came available), and that was $30 cheaper than WIND, and at least $70 cheaper than my previous plan with Rogers. And that's without factoring in subsidies.

I think the 3GB - 90day $111 plan is a waste, and the regular "wants some data, but doesn't binge" can get by on the $120 or $135 (Canada Wide) without issue. The packages are both good, and worth every penny.

I'm going into my third 90-day cycle, I've already covered the cost of paying off my subsidy, and I'm about $120 in savings ahead of the game. Next cycle wil be $71 🙂

Tell them to switch now.

@mikga Couldn't agree more!

I initially joined PM so I can have instant savings, and was optimistic that I will be able to join the next promo soon, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I find that I'm just struggling with the 6GB per 90 days. I need more data but the data add-on is just too expensive. So I understand why your friends or relatives decide to stick to the bigger carriers until another promo. Sometimes 2GB per month just isn't going to cut it. I also notice that most people that don't agree are those that are already on the 4GB promo (just a funny observation).

@TheOldVR Are you currently on the 4GB promo?

Re: PM should have 4GB / $40 promo plan more often to attract more customers

mikga — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 19:37:26 GMT

yes, I agree.

Hey @CalvinW... I am on the promo plan and love it.

I am a little jaded here as I had three friends including my GF jump over with me and my port was the only one that went smoothly - which meant that I heard about it EVERY DAY until things were finally resolved.

SO - at the time I was pretty vocal in the forums because I felt like Non-PM employees were drawing a picture of everything being okay when it wasn't.... not to mention that there are somethings that only the MODs can answer.

That's all in the past though. I know that the only reason PM survived the promo is because their MODs are so dedicated to them (and us)... and I also know that PM owes it to their peeps to invest and make sure that they don't cause undue stress for their loyal peeps with new promos unless their systems are ready for another huge influx of customers.

In summary:

- Yay PM

- Yay MODs

- Yay PM Community

- Bosses: take care of your MODs please!

@TheOldVR Nice to hear that everything worked out fine!

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Signup was as smooth as it can get, but I'm not on the promo and I'm barely surviving with just 2GB of data.

Re: PM should have 4GB / $40 promo plan more often to attract more customers

TheOldVR — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 19:51:04 GMT

@CalvinW.... Now I feel your pain! 2GB is tight man... I would blow through that.

Let's hope things get fixed up and that you have a shot at the promo soon.

Until then, there are a couple of apps out there that will help limit your data usage that kinda help depending on what u are using your data for.

If I may speak honestly I don't think that there will be a one in the close future . The last promo was just huge and disturbed the market as I am sure every phone company did lose a bunch of people no matter how good their plan was (unless maybe you are with the gouvernement). They might have some small promotions but not as big as the last one. Also considering the fact that there wasn't a lot (if nothing) of marketing at all for it it just was crazy. Some of the current plans are still way better then what other offers so ... Take your time and keep looking

I have to admit I was hesitant to switch at first but with my rogers plan going to $60 I took the plunge. Glad I did.

It also helped that I switched over early during the promo before everyone was having issues. I dont think I would have made the switch once everyone starting posting problems and weeks of delays to get resolution.

@mikga as others have mentioned, the 2016 Fall Promo plan caused a lot of technical issues and support process issues to bubble to the surface. It would be foolish of PM to run another promo like that until a lot of changes are made behind the scenes. I sincerely hope they take their time in starting another promo plan with that kind of appeal.

I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Since there are many issue to be solved, plus the promotion is very good if you like the service style here. Even the competition copied it as well. 😄

Same here, was with Rogers for 8 years but it killed me paying $100 every month for 5 Gigs of data. Now i get 4 GB with half that amount. Glad i ditched Rogers

- another happy PM customer
