No changes for 3G plans but more options added for 4G, AGAIN!

dabr — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:29:18 GMT

Hey all, I was responding to another thread about current plan offers and decided to check self serve before posting in case the plan I was going to recommend had been removed and notice PM has added two more 4G plans and removed one. Alas, nothing new for 3G... Here's the latest line-up for 4G plans:

$35 - 3GB

$37 - 5GB

$40 - 15GB

$45 - 20GB

$50 - 23GB

$65 - 35GB

hi @dabr ,

@dabr that's weird, I only see 2 4G plans and 3 3G plans.

$35/3GB

$40/15GB

$15/250MB

$25/1GB

$30/3GB

edit: duh, this is from the front page. You prob see those in the account portal.

@hTideGnow Yes, seems like an odd amount of data. Should have been 25GB IMO and the $35 and $37 plans makes no sense considering what can be had for $40+

dabr — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:39:48 GMT

@pmbc Well that's weird if you see something different from what I see in self serve. I assume you've refreshed the page?

edit: okay, yeah the official Plans page doesn't keep up with PM's self serve offers for a long time now.

updated my post. I was only looking from the public plans page. Odd they show diff for account and to the public.

@dabr I agree with you about the $50 for 23 GB I laughed because virgin just sent me a email for 25GB for $50 today … definitely would even look cleaner for it to be 25GB on PM and to make the 5GB for $35

dabr — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:49:21 GMT

@Handy1 Ahh...maybe these changes are a competitive response then?

$50 23 is weird but hey, not bad plans.

Glad we’ve got larger data buckets now. I myself have been burning through data and that 15GB plan is pretty sweet.

Handy1 — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:50:56 GMT

@dabr My thoughts exactly

Re: No changes for 3G plans but more options added for 4G, AGAIN!

smp99 — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:51:38 GMT

$37 plan? When there is also plans for $35 and $40.

Re: No changes for 3G plans but more options added for 4G, AGAIN!

BearFBI — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:53:35 GMT

@dabr possibly.

however, $50+ plans still aren’t very competitive considering some deals people are able to get with the big guys.

Seems like PM is focusing on the middle ground between low and high priced plans for value.

@smp99 Yep, makes no sense for the data allotment on the $35/37 plans now..

dabr — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:56:05 GMT

@BearFBI Yeah, you could be right and they certainly don't seem interested in offering anything new for the lower end, even if only for 3G speeds.

Re: No changes for 3G plans but more options added for 4G, AGAIN!

BearFBI — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:00:24 GMT

@dabr i feel like they are in Koodo’s territory. The middle stuff

PM’s always had stellar lower end plans, but they haven’t been touched in years. Surely they could bump the data up a gig or two on the $25 plan, or offer more on the $30. Data prices aren’t like 2016 anymore.

dabr — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:03:30 GMT

@BearFBI Yeah, you'd think. Hard to fathom except that they're really trying to entice customers with lots of data on the 4G offers. I'm sure lots of customers have upgraded to these new offers but probably $40/15GB is the most popular one for those wanting extra data for a decent price.

hi @dabr

a $5 from $ 40 to $45 give you 5 GB extra, but another $5 give you only 3Gb. Then another $15 give you only 12Gb extra.

both $50 and $65 can both do better than that

and wish they will do something with $15 and $25 plans

$10. 100 minutes total. 100 texts. No data. Nice, round, easy numbers. Sign me up.

Handy1 — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:21:30 GMT

@hTideGnow I agree I think the $15 plan should get 3GB and the $25 plan come with 5GB

Re: No changes for 3G plans but more options added for 4G, AGAIN!

hTideGnow — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:29:34 GMT

hey @Handy1 no greedy. Would be happy to see qGB for $15 and 2 for $25 LoL
