$37 5GB 4G plan

tzliu — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:37:26 GMT

Has anyone noticed there is an option for $37 5GB plan when you elect to change your plan? Wish PM could have a $35 4GB 4G plan. Never came close to 3GB in data usage, but one extra GB offers a peace of mind.

@Milk When you ask 5G option if you mean service PM does not offer that just the big 3 do how ever if your 5G of data that plan used to. Be $40 but now Instead that same $40 can get you 15 GB of data so that would be the best option for you if data is what you mean

In my opinion, I see all of these new plans as confusing and unnecessary. I see very few people signing up to any of the 4G price plans that are lower than $40. While I appriecate that everyone has different data usage patterns, I believe that Public Mobile needs less price plans instead of more. The only way that I can picture more pricing options available with varrying data amounts would be if Public Mobile offered some type of plan without data but has a pay-per-use model. As we all know, that goes contrary to Public Mobile's pricing model.

I tend to agree that it is a bit much to inch rate plans by 1GB and a couple of bucks at a time. Right now, the $40/15GB is a great offering.

Deserving full credit, PM has slimmed down offerings to new users and the options for existing users.

It is a great improvement and so many confusing and making-no-sense options are gone.

4G plans switching options, which make sense except $40-12GB one

$35 - 3GB

$37 - 5GB

$40 - 12GB (should be removed?)

$40 - 15GB

$45 - 20GB
