@0PX9O4

I have 3 extra sims still when CCS were selling them for 49 cents a few years ago. So I'll be activating them.

Never thought of this. On an ethical position, I'm not so sure. I know I was going to switch my wife over to PM once her plan contract was done, but won't be now. I am not for this point system as it seems that I have to do "extra" work each month to claim dollar value for auto pay. That, and the fact that more and more LTE only cell sites are popping up thus PM voice calling is a no go.

@Bandsaw Get a sim and sign up an account for your wife on a $15 plan. Then suspend the account just before renewal date. You can suspend for 90 days (make sure to reactivate around 85 day mark). When you're wifes contract is over just port here number in. The $15 upfront you pay will be worth it in long run. Besides with referral bonus you get $10 back.

Thanks @BeachNBeer I do have two SIM cards laying around (unused). I am just not sure about the ethical question of doing this as far as PM is concerned.

@Bandsaw : Who's ethics? Yours? Or the company? The company wants your money. The new system isn't live so that doesn't enter into it.

honestly when you activate a account you have to put money into it to maintain its active status. it's probably not worth it in the long run. just my opinion

@Bandsaw Only thing unethical is PM selling sim cards for $10 🤣
