New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

dabr — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 21:13:31 GMT

Hey Community, not sure if someone has already posted about this but PM is offering two new (sorta) 3G plans in self serve for $30/3GB and $35/4.5GB. I didn't log in yesterday, so not sure if they were there then too or not.

Updated to add that these new plans and prices appear on the Plans page now unlike the 4G $40/45/55 plans. The self serve account also shows the old $35/3GB plan but not on the Plans page. Update 2: forgot to update earlier that the old $35/3GB was removed from self serve account.

Good catch @dabr

I'm guessing the $30.00 for 3GB might catch on with some... as far as the $35, I'm guessing PM would like if that catches on for others.

The 'sale price' on the 4G plans were very good when they lasted. I'm sure Boxing and New Years will bring em out again in some fashion, but likely only for new activations....

@HALIMACS The 4G offers are all still available too. I'll admit to being surprised and impressed with PM's discounted prices for more data this year. Alas, still waiting for something in the $20 price range, but the $30/3GB is pretty good with rewards discounts.

This one is very new. I lost track of what was happening at the competition, so not sure if this was a competitive response or a pioneer move. Anyway Chatr does have a $30/3GB option.

@dabr $30/3GB is attempting and may downgrade from $40/15GB (data is being wasted)

Interesting, thanks for this OP. I don't check the plans page when I log into my account so I wouldn't know about these new plans. Too bad they are not that great...

I wonder if PM will release 360 day plans like Koodo prepaid did a few months ago. (I also found out about these just recently lol)

HI @dabr

it's nice they bring the $30 plan back (they had it before right?). There have been demand for something between $25 and $35 plan. Also, nice to see $35 plan get a bit more data now

Would be perfect if they bring up $25 with 2GB and $15 with 500Mb or 1GB.

@will13am Could be a competitve response, but seems like PM has added these plans to the Plans page, so maybe a more permanent offer for now.

@tzliu Makes sense to save money if the data is just being wasted. You might miss the 4G speed perhaps.

Yes, Chat has pretty much the same lineup (with Autopay)

Lucky is still behind, they don't have the $30 plan but they have the same $35 plan

I am surprise PM is giving it all without Autopay (but they are smart, they put the credit card to Pre-auth by default and make it hard to remove, kind of forcing you with Autopay)

@hTideGnow I'm not completely certain if it was 3GB or 2GB offered for $30 a couple of years ago.

Edit: I like your suggested plans/prices. 👍

This plan could be as permanent as tomorrow depending on whether the competition pulls it or not. Right now only 2 of 3 brands offer it.

It was $30/2GB as a limited time offer. Previous to that, I think there was an RBC deal for $35/3GB or something like that.

@kellyrichard was asking about switching to the new $30 plan a few posts back.

It's interesting to see how marginal the cost difference is between the plans. I agree that the $25 pricing needs to be reviewed.

@dabr As a light data user (mostly on WIFI), $10 savings (1/4 of the current 4G plan) for the "inconvenience" of lower speed is very very attempting.

Re: New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

dabr — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 19:48:49 GMT

@tzliu Have you scheduled the change then? Since you are a light user of data it might be a good idea since PM has been introducing plans without notice and can also remove them without prior announcement.

Re: New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

dabr — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 22:12:17 GMT

@mitchnet12 Yes, I actually did tag that user in their thread as the screenshot they had posted showed the $35/3GB plan change being considered. Yesterday that plan, along with the two newer ones, were all available when I checked but has been removed from available plans in self serve today.

edit: just re-read the other thread and OP there had the correct plan change in mind.

@dabr You forgot the Incognito mode 🙂

I just checked, still see the $30 and the new $35/4.5GB plans there on my My Account,

Re: New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

dabr — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 20:03:54 GMT

@softech I just logged in again and only see the two newer plans/prices in addition to $25 plan? Also, I always use incognito mode, so maybe you're seeing older info? 😊

edit: the $30 plan is the newer one with 3GB data, maybe that's what you see?

Re: New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

softech — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 20:11:10 GMT

@dabr

yes, I see on 3G plans sections:

$25 - old one

$30 with 3GB

$35 with 4.5GB

Re: New 3G Plans in Self Serve Account

mitchnet12 — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 21:49:56 GMT

I still see two 3G plans, $30 3GB, and $35 4.5GB plans available in self-serve for my account at the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing what might be next.
