The competition got rid of their $10 plans (ie. Lucky mobile), so PM followed their lead.

$10 plan means some members will take that instead of a higher priced plan. The counters decided the numbers are better without a $10 plan.

Would be great if PM brought back the $10 plan. I have someone in the family who I'm getting them a cell phone and need a plan to go with it. Since they aren't dialing much, wanted to get them the $10 plan but I guess I have to look elsewhere unless they bring it back.

Would be awesome if they did bring it back, like during the holidays or something like that, as $10 plan -$2 autopay = $8/mo and I just add the $5 500 minute to never worry about running out of minutes.

@SomeFriend There has been a lot of interest within the community to bring back the $10 plan but it's unlikely that this will happen. However the $15 plan w/autopay at $13 is still a great deal with unlimited incoming calls and texts, 100 outgoing calls and 250mb of data it fits many peoples needs for only $5 more per month. It was common advice for many to bump up to this plan because they would run out of calling and outgoing text features when using it as their main phone. The $10 plan only worked well as a way of maintaining of phone number or as an emergency or back up phone. Really whats an extra $5 one less starbucks coffee a month....

$5 is $60 a year, $600 over ten years. I have the $10 plan, it's more than I need, PM should reinstate it as they are throwing away business by not offering it.

Offering it might be throwing away money if those customer would have signed up to $15 plan. Having more business is not always the best thing for Public Mobile's bottom line.

Some would some wouldn't- I can get free calling and texting on WiFi so $10 and under is worth it, over $10 I'll pass.

I know someone else who just signed up for $10 on another carrier, same thing, won't even use the entry level minutes, will opt for the cheapest plan going.

There's 2 examples X $100/year which would reflect at least a few thousand potential customers. Dumb move by PM in my estimation.
