$29 promo for 40gb at 4G

Mangia — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 01:11:39 GMT

Is this the total monthly charge for the plan? Are there any catches?

Why was it texted to me but not offered on website?

Hi @Mangia

No catches really. You pay $29 plus applicable taxes in your province and you get 40GB of 4G speed data. Once the 40GB is up, you'll have no more data for the month. If you like that promo, you may wish to consider the $34 Canada/US plan with 50GB of 5G data. Faster speeds, $5 more and get 10GB more data plus can use your phone in the US at no charge.

These are targeted offers. Not everyone got this text. You're one of the lucky ones.

@Mangia

Which plan are you on right now?

These target texts from Public mobile usually will increase the price of your plan. It is meant for customers to pay more money for more data. Might be a good deal, but it is targeted to increase your monthly fee and increase profits for PM.

I'm paying $25 for 3gb right now. Sounds like a great deal for me,

@Mangia

Are you on the $25/1GB plan? If you were on the $15 plan you may have been sent the $22/6GB offer.

@Mangia

If you don't mind paying $4 more and will make use of all of the extra data then go for it. But if you don't exceed the 3GB you have currently then it's not really a good deal and if you switch you won't be able to get your current plàn back.

@Mangia

If it is a great deal for you, then respond "yes" to the text.

This plan is actually available for new customers right now. Not for existing customers. So, you were lucky to get this text.

Saying that though, if you are only using 1-2 GB per month, then you are increase your plan price for no reason. If you use that much data, then it is worth it for sure.

You"re right, I'm on the $25/1GB. I was texted the $29/40GB promo at 4g.

@Mangia

If you need more data, then go for this promo text deal.

If you only use 1GB per 30 days, there is unadvertised $19 plan for 1GB LTE. You will see this plan in your self service account.

There is no reason to stay on $25 1GB 3G plan, it’s better to switch to $19 1GB 4G if 1GB is enough for you, otherwise $29 40GB plan is great if you need more data.

Hi @EB0 They can't switch to the $19 plan as it's for new customers only.

Re: $29 promo for 40gb at 4G

@Chalupa_Batman
$19 1GB is available for existing customers

$21 3GB/$57 9GB per 90 days is available for new activation.

It’s not just for new customers. Check out the website.

As others have noted, I don't think it needs to be a special offer texted to you if you are an existing client. I signed on to my account and under "subscriptions and add ons" there was the option to upgrade. No strings seem to be attached to anything PM offers, just reasonable and relatively customizable plans.

Re: $29 promo for 40gb at 4G

JB_lovePM — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 02:26:00 GMT

I agree it's a pitch for more $ but if you need the extra data, PM is still waaay cheaper than the plans that many of my friends have fallen prey to. I'm not sure if there's better pricing in Canada and for the price of a Starbucks coffee, you get a month of happy access. Oof ...I'm beginning to sound like a sales rep! 🙂
