Temporarily change plans

DougA99 — Mon, 12 May 2025 17:04:46 GMT

I am currently on a lower priced plan that is no longer available. I need to use a huge amount of more data for 2 months and it's so much cheaper to change plans than to buy add-ons. Can I change plans for 2 months and then go back to my original plan?

I could not find the answer anywhere. Thanks

@DougA99 Most likely cannot change back to your lower priced plan as public mobile has made it harder to change to lower priced plans just upgrade is easy to do . So it might be best to just buy data add on or create second account for the plan you need for two months to secure your low cost plan you have now after the two month’s is up . You can use your referral code from your primary account to create second account and save extra $10 during the second month of the temp needed plan

You can only change plans to what you see in your Account when you sign on.

Very unlikely that you will be able to switch back to current plan. You might be stuck with the new plan or only able to change to a lower GB plan at higher cost.

If you Upgrade for whatever reason you will NOT be able to Downgrade - return to your current-lower plan. So chose wisely what is important to you: data or plan cost.
You can always buy data add-on, though. Did you use ALL your holiday data bonuses (if you got any)?

you will lose your current plan.

and while change back to cheaper plan is possible, the choice you will get might not be what you want. So, think twice before you move up

That's what I thought. Bummer. I may just have to own a new acct.

Rogers changed my internet from $67/ month to $169. and I spent 2 hours trying to resolve it. It will take me at least a month to switch providers. No other choice till then. Rogers phone support is beyond insane.

yes, it might be cheaper to get a new account for short term use of data

remember to use the friend code from your original account to get a $10 credit
