Add on price

brettster99 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:47:29 GMT

I read somewhere on the community by a fellow member that the add ons are all on sale.

I don’t think that is true. From what I know only the 1GB add on is for a limited time sale.

Is this correct? Just wanted to make sure

@brettster99 and @RossN, the $5 add on for 500 minutes I believed was discounted as well the as the $15 for 1 gig was also discounted. But, I could be wrong. @darlicious, may know for sure, she is on top of things like that!

As far as I know the 500 minute add on was always $5 from when I joined on December 29th. That's wat I paid when I bought one in January. Stay safe.

@brettster99, I know the $15 for the 1 gig is a good deal. darlicious had mentioned both add-ons as I was debating in going down a few plans to save a few bucks during this pandemic.

The 500 Canada-wide Long Distance minutes $5

Is the regular price but the 1GB data add-on is discounted to $15 for a limited time.

@mpcdesign Actually that's not correct, the 500 mins was introduced sometime last summer and has always been $5. The only add-on that has been reduced recently is the 1GB from $30 to $15 and that is limited time pricing during this pandemic and may go back to $30 anytime PM decides.

@dabr @Triguy

Thanks for the help

@dabr,Good to know about the $5 add-on. there is still the $30 for the 1 gig add-on too (4G LTE) versus the 3G which can be carried over if not used up.

I never needed the $5 for 500 minutes, as I always had unlimited calls, and I was debating on changing my plan since February.

@mpcdesign Yes the 1GB add-on data is currently at half price ($15), but the speed will be defaulted to your plan speed, so if you have the $10 plan (no longer offered), then you will get the 4G speed, but all the other plans are 3G speeds barring the $30 data only plan and any prior grandfathered in plans of course. Edit: Yes all domestic add-ons don't expire until used up.

@shoops The 1GB data is on sale for now, but yes that's a good investment as both add-ons will stay on your account until depleted. 😊

@shoops I'm on the same $15 plan as you. To save more, add the TextNow voip app and use it via Wifi to make / receive / send calls and texts in Canada and to the United States for free. You can also use it as I do to check my voicemail from my own phone without using the minutes from the PM plan. Simply dial your PM phone number - reject the call when it rings (this sends the call to voicemail) - press the * key to allow you to enter your password. - enter it followed by # - and you are in your voicemail account - Hang up when you are finished. No minutes used.

@mpcdesign

It looks like I'm late to the party....seems eeverything has been clarified. The 1gb data add on is currently half price at $15 and is 4G LTE throttled to 3mbps. The data only plan , grandfathered plans that were originally 4G and the grandfathered $10 50/50 no included data plan all recieve full speed 4G data.

The $5/500min add on has been that price since its introduction as @dabr has kindly mentioned. I suggested to @mpcdesign when he was considering downgrading his plan because the shelter in place directive had dropped his usage that the $25 plans features seemed to be more than needed at that time. @shoops purchasing the calling and data add ons means you have mire control over your usage/money spent thru several months of likely low usage....but if heavier use is needed they are on your account for those situations. Otherwise plan data and unlimited calling just renew used or not. If you only need an extra 100 min of outgoing calling and 200mb of data each month that adds $4 to your monthly plan cost of $15.

Anytime in the future that your monthly usage is anticipated to increase you can schedule or do an immediate plan change to a plan with unlimited calling and more plan data. The balance left on the add ons will remain on your account until needed....if you run out of plan data or you downgrade again. Maximum flexibility in controlling the cost of your mobile services to suit your monthly needs.

I think there is also a 200 Mb data add-on that is on sale for $10.

The Reference to the 1Gb 4G add-on is likely MORE confusion about the 1Gb DATA ONLY PLAN which is NOT an add-on.

For as long as I know the 200MB has always been $10. It's not the one on special.

Will have to go back and find the announcement as I distinctly recall Allan saying that both the 1Gb and the smaller (200Mb?) add-on were on sale, 1Gb at half price and smaller one for $10 but I never looked to see if it was lower price or half price. I sort of think it was $20 normally or $30 for 1Gb.

Okay, that’s enough time wasted looking for it! Allan K made the announcement in an existing topic, I thought to one where they announced to free US roaming add-ons to get people home late March. But I can’t find it in there. I thought both add-ons were mentioned As being cut in price but maybe just the 1Gb dropped in price. paid no attention because who would get a 200 rather than 1000 Mb add on for only slightly less $.
