new activations only plans

jennvetter — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 00:30:10 GMT

Hey guys, I am looking at cancelling my current plan and then reactivating to another plan that is for new activations only.

Can this be done without having to get a new number or SIM card?

thanks!

Unfortunately, you can’t sign in a new plan /account and transfer the number from old PM account to a new one, SIM card is one time use, once it’s deactivated, you can’t use it anymore

you can port out to another provider, then port back in as a new account, the new plan will have your old number

The only way to get the promo is to port out to another carrier then purchase a new SIM and port back. I that is too much trouble in getting the new activation deal.

There are new promo plans every month so login on the PM app then check for deals on Subscription tab>Manage Subscription>Change Subscription.

Members have tried contacting the CS_Agent to help them change to the new activation plan for existing members but got rejected.

I found a way around this without paying another provider

I use the Ooma home phone that comes with two rolling lines. I never publish the second number so I port one of my public accounts to my ooma account and then back to public. The cost is NIL if you use an esim so technically for the 4 Public plans I have I can switch whenever I want.

Whats even better is that ooma lets you pick from hundreds of phone numbers so I pick a new number as my second line and managed to bring in some phenomenal phone numbers to public.

So if you have a home internet phone with two lines I assume you can do similar to what I did with my Ooma service.
