I guess this raises the price to $40 for all those on grandfathered mobilicity plans.

Its great that PM just launched lower prices. I see an opportunity to get people we know to switch from Chatr to PM!

Everyone in PM should be happy with their plans because they give the cheapest for best service. PM is under telus coverage and they were seen to be the largest service and fasted lte. WOOOH for PM and TELUS

I definitely like the Telus network. 🙂

Well the Public Mobile 2017 fall promo price went up $7 over 2016. Each carrier brand is maintaining the same pricing levels.

I don't understand Chatr. I just can't see myself ever wanting to pay for 3G speed data again now that I've had LTE for a couple years.

I just hope PM won't up my price.

Many already knows rogers will increase their grandfather plans very soon. They did it often if you know rogers' ethic.

Not just 3G, but 2 mbps 3G. I would have been happy with actual full 3G speeds, but throttled to 2 mbps with a price increase? Even with my $25 unlimited talk/data/text Back To School grandfathered plan, it was time to switch. Hello, LTE.

I was expecting the price increase, that's why I switched to PM. I hope it won't be the trend.

@MEU_21,

Very smart. 🙂

Past PM practice has shown, when the up the price of a plan held by anyone, there is a 30 day notice provided.

I believe, the only increase that has been applied via this practice, was earlier this year for Legacy and Pioneer members, on their very 'grandfathered' plans, prior to a date early Jan 2015 (someone can correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm still on my Promo 2016... I do not see a price change coming - nor do I think one will happen, as the recent Freedom Promo was the same offer.

I was with Chatr for a few years then what bothers me the most was the lack of inbound and outbound calls regardless of where we are in Quebec or Canada

With Public Mobile, the option is listed on the terms and conditions, but at least it is there

Chatr is one of those sub-brands that sounds like it's still stuck in 2010. Zoned plans are so weird.

I got my friend using Chatr to switch to PM because of this. She was definitely very happy with the improved coverage over Rogers networks

I got this PM chat ID a while ago when I was considering changing but found that PM prices were much higher for the same features. My plan is only $30/mth and going to $35 and I get 30 minutes US roaming, unlimited calling Canada and US calling, and 6gb data which is more than enough for my needs, and fast enough too for videos. I also got an $80 bonus for auto payments. The other nice thing was that they significanly expanded their unlimited zone coverage and now I can use it much further out than Toronto as far as Niagara Falls and more.

Though I'm pizt at Chatr increasing my rate almost 20%, way more than inflation and what's from stopping them doing it again every year. I'll need a new phone soon so the low price will be irrelevant. I haven't checked PM prices and features in a while but I will be checking now and see how they compare.
