@hTideGnow - Yeah!

@dabr mmm, those 90 days plans are becoming more tempting. 🤔

softech — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:54:42 GMT

A welcome move.

and yes @dabr , i see both 4G plans now have 90 days options. But only bad thing is the $39 plan is now $39 only if 90 days

HI @esjliv yes, and would be nice if they have 90 days option for 3G plans ( i know they won't... LoL)

Re: 3G plans are officially back!!!

dabr — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:58:22 GMT

@softech Actually the previous $39 plan has only 20GB (lol) and newer 90 day plan has 30GB (crazy amount).

@esjliv I know what you mean, very tempting but I don't need unlimited minutes or even one quarter of that data allotment..

Re: 3G plans are officially back!!!

softech — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:08:01 GMT

Yes, @dabr the $39 is now crazily great!! The $39 plan was originally a response to other providers' $39 offer, I guess PM now has a better $39 plan (hope it is not a typo , you know , it is not abnormal here.. 🤣)

While PM has been getting lots of attack with the My Account refresh , but I think PM has done great jobs in terms of plans offer, they are aggressive, almost like a direct competitor to Koodo

@dabr ~~It is cheaper than the 30 day $15 plan!~~ $13 per 30 days is great, but not the case.

~~I do like the the every 30 day plan though...but thinking of jumping to the 90 day one. Is this PM's plan ... For us $15 planners to jump ship? Any downfalls if we do?~~

edit, wishful thinking in my above words esjliv...🤣

Interesting that the $15 still has no mention of unlimited incoming. Maybe that has changed.

@esjliv That's not how it works (wish it did, of course!!). You pay $39/cycle if going to 90 day payment option ($117/90 days) instead of $44/cycle if you choose 30 day cycles. edit: unless I'm missing something..

Re: 3G plans are officially back!!!

softech — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:10:19 GMT

@dabr @esjliv for 90 days plan, you pay the full amount upfront $44 x 3 ($132) and they give you the full 90 days data upfront (120 GB)

Then they give you back the $5 and the first month rewards couple days later. Then 30 days later for another $5 and rewards and then 60 days later...

OHH, well what do I know @dabr . 😂
And i got a little excited there, I jumped the gun. I did know that was how the current $39 plan worked. I was day/wish-dreaming.

@hTideGnow

not sure what an eeyore is but he poses a good question for us who still value the $15 plan. Up to now had unlimited incoming calls ...but now no mention of that. Reading it now could be ~~corkscrewed~~ construed as 100 minutes of incoming and outgoing.

Not sure how they keep fouling up the simplest things like precise descriptions of plan inclusions. 🤔

frostyfire22 — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:29:15 GMT

Also added a 30 GB/$39 plan if you sub for 90 days!!

Re: 3G plans are officially back!!!

hTideGnow — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:31:32 GMT

HI @frostyfire22 and yes, the $39 is better and worse

Better as it give you more data from the old $39 plan, worse is that you have to go with 90 days plan to get it for $39, or it will be $44

@hairbag1- I'm not easily insulted unlike the thin skin of some others. If it wasn't for the laugh emoji maybe I would have reported it just because. Wasn't that the name of a childrens book character of a certain animal that has another "naughty" name.

Re: 3G plans are officially back!!!

hTideGnow — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 19:35:29 GMT

HI @hairbag1

no, I am pretty sure it is the same plan as we had. There have been no mention of unlimited incoming calls since the previous My Account upgrade from last year. The exact same $15 has been offering. I am pretty sure it is the same one still.

Of course for PM's marketing, it is a disadvantage if they don't mention it even it is there. Not everyone is a regular like us and know all the "hidden" features

HI @dust2dust no way it is an insults. It is a one of the most money making character in Disney, how could it be an insult? LoL

Plan change scheduled for next renewal on my data plan! Whether I'll actually use 90GB (at a theorethical $1.30/GB, less with rewards) in those 90 days remains to be seen. Appreciate having the usage flexibility over 90days back. though.

Now, if only there were some reasonable low-ish (3G) data plans. That jump from $25/1GB to $44/30GB feels crazy.

$15/500MB, $25/2GB and $30/5GB would be great!
