$50/40GB Can/US plan now is 5G speed

DennyCrane — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 16:58:01 GMT

Credit to @Yzeguy for noticing this. The $50/40GB plan is now 5G instead of 4G that it was until now. You have to change into the new version of the plan to get the higher speed (as far as I can see). My scheduled renewal to the 4G version hadn't even happened yet, but I was able to change it to renew into the 5G version. And to backup my theory that you do have to make the change from the 4G version (if you have it), the new version of the plan was available for me to renew into, even though I was already scheduled to renew into the 4G version; normally you don't see the same plan you're trying to renew into as an option if you already have it scheduled.

Looks like a couple other plan changes too. The $44/30GB 4G plan is gone, but for $1 more you get the same but with 5G speed.

And a second US option

...if you want to spend that much...and you need all that data. But the roaming is a nice cherry on top.

@dust2dust The US roaming isn't the cherry for me, it's the main course. The rest is just a bonus. I'd be more than happy with 20GB at 4G speed, but if I need to spend a little bit more to break into the US roaming space, I'm fine with that. Doesn't make sense if you're only go to the US once a year, but I go often so it's well worth it. I also have business dealings in the US, so the continuity of having my own phone number is important.

I just signed up yesterday. Is it possible to switch now and only pay the difference? Or do I have to wait until new renewal to upgrade?

DennyCrane — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 17:25:34 GMT

@paopao123 Unfortunately you'd lose what you prepaid as PM doesn't prorate when you change plans. It's best to go change the plan, but set it to change on your next renewal.

@paopao123 It's no problem to make the switch. Just be sure to change on the next renewal, otherwise you lose out on the funds you spent on your current plan. Welcome aboard!

Okay, thank you!

Yzeguy — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 18:32:03 GMT

I agree. I’m in a border town so it makes perfect sense for me, but it depends on what you need.

I’ll bet dollars they’re now trying to compete with the new Freedom offerings.

Re: $50/40GB Can/US plan now is 5G speed

DennyCrane — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 18:43:20 GMT

Great point. Freedom still wins on the $65 plan though, as theirs covers Mexico as well. But I guess PM has the 90 day discount.

Maybe PM will come out with more roaming countries next! Nothing would surprise me the way things are going lately.

Competition is good for us.

@Yzeguy Yup. No greed for the provider, just goodies for consumers 🙂

They've nearly eliminated the 4G plans other than the $39 for 20GB which is a promotion. (And the Quebec only plan.)

@golfball

that's not bad, maybe it's time for them to move all the 3G plans to 4G 🙂

I'd be in favor of Public Mobile eliminatiing the different speed offerings. I find that it just adds confusion.

DennyCrane — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 19:38:47 GMT

Yup. I guess they figure they've got unused capacity, may as well do everything they can to market to new subscribers and push up the ARPU of existing customers.

I activated on this plan yesterday and noticed in my portal there is no mention of Canada-US. I see it in the email I received welcoming me, but curious if this is normal of all Canada-US plans?
