Another offer for 6GB for $40

Received this text:

For me

Pro: Fall Promo will not increase any time soon, pre-paid so i have control over the bill and data rollover. Extra 2GB does not help much or makes no difference since I am on wifi most of the time.

Cons: Post-paid, unwanted extra bill, no data rollover and might increase price. Getting a phone on TAB is virtually signing up for a contract. Koodo does a hard check on your credit line which stays as open credit!

I just got it and gave in. I liked what PM offered but 6 GB and unlimited national calling for $45.20 a month, that's too good to pass up. Thank you to the mods and those of you who have asked and answered questions on here. Hope you all are able to keep you plans and TELUS doesn't do anything drastic to the PM community and users.

Thanks for posting the image.

It's a real code/ offer as I saw the other thread & tried it out on my wife's account which is still here.

Now if there was good customer service they would just switch all of us that move some of our accounts over rather than having us all call in & hope the rep will be able to switch.

I don't think they'll be any offers below $40 but hey things are going crazy.

I might just leave one account here & see what happens as I already moved my account over to Kood & obviously that wasn't the best deal. ANyway, what's up with these offers & secret BPO codes.

Today I learned my home internet service provider has a new promo where they are giving 3 months bill credit for new customers only. I signed up with them a week before they introduced the promo. So i called them and asked if they would credit my account. They said no we can't do that, its only for new customers. Then I asked them to cancel my current account and set up a new account. Now i am a "new" customer to them.

I am just surprised that instead of giving me a credit they are willing pay for old modem return postage, have a service tech come in and do installation with another new modem. Funny!

For PM its the oposite (normal) if you are an old customer you get more benefit.

So I will wait till they offer 10GB for $40 to switch Koodo.

@MartianmasterNo you shouldn't be worried unless you want to switch.

One question still remains...why Does TELUS want us to move to KOODO?

Re: Another offer for 6GB for $40

kav2001c — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 20:19:42 GMT

More potential value for overages, hardware (they call it a tab but its still a contract)

Plus I think they want to cut down over here (eg hire less mods)

Before Fall Promo it was very quiet in terms of service requests etc

Now many users (incl yours truly) require manual monthly intervention

Takes time and money

Considering Koodo just increased the plans price by $5, I would not be surprised if this $40/6G will become $45/6G soon.

Call me crazy, I'll switch when they drop to $35/4G or even better $30/3G since I never use up the 12G.

@kav2001c, spot on!

I've got love for the Fall 2016 promo customers, but boy did things change around here after that wave of subscriptions...way beyond the capacity of PM. Arguably, things have calmed down since, but I imagine that the powers-that-be would prefer to keep PM a small niche low data usage segment.

@fathom

IMO with wifi easily accessible everywhere nowdays you don't really need all that extra gigs

Exactly the same for me, and probably the majority of PM users. The attraction for me was a simple phone service with sufficient data for basic usage. I get the sense that Telus would prefer to keep PM as the lower-data options service provider, while migrating the higher usage customers to Koodo and Telus in the future...but who knows what they're actually thinking other than $$$$$$$

Yeah im looking to switch. I went with my friend who switched and koodo said i wasnt in their system. Is there anyone i can contact

Re: Another offer for 6GB for $40

mr2115 — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 20:34:29 GMT

Honestly, I think it's just streamlining what they have. A prepaid service is not something they can make money off as well as a post paid model. For me, PM was really good becasue it's a no frills brand and I'm a no frills phone user.My only turning point to leave and I hope I'm not given any schtick about it, I need a statement at the end of the month as my employer has a byod policy and I can expense my bill. I didn't like the fact that you have to request a bill/statement and it needs to be generated and takes 30 days. I have this option now with Koodo. My bill will be in total $2.37 a month/$7 every three months more (was on the $120/90 plan) but not having to wait on for the bill 30 days after I've paid and being able to expense it EOM is worth that.

I think it's personally a shame for those who rely on the effective pricepoint of the service; they don't need all the bells and whistles just for their phone to work. Some can't afford or choose not to pay the ridiculous rates that mobile carriers charge. I hope those on here who rely on PM and their plans are able to keep going and it isn't something that is taken away from the users anytime soon or the monthly rate goes up to the point it becomes unaffordable.

@youbme its quieter over here but the issue is lots of what broke could not be fixed

I mentioned above, I need to email mods constantly for monthly manual intervention these days

I am sure many people are in same boat with me and have secret backroom deal plans going on

Too much happened during Fall Promo days

I also got this text (along with another last month). My biggest concern is that today I also received a voicemail from my local 'koodo' saying that they know I received a text from PM about a promotion and that I should come in and take advantage of it before March 15 because as I "may have heard" PM will be raising prices.

I never got a text saying that PM was raising prices... so this is a huge red flag for me? What is going on?
