@GreatCanadian, it's great that you've found an offer to current subscribers previously that you're able to benefit from.

Sadly, some of us on the Fall 2016 Promo have received very few offers we can make use of.  Still on province-wide calling, still paying base cost of $120 for 90 days, getting total of 12 GB of LTE Full speed.

Would love to see something that betters at least two of those factors, without hurting the other factors.

---

@stonechucker This question is not argumentative in any way. Is there any reason that you need LTE speeds? I'm just wondering if the old $120/90 day plan is as attractive as it once was. I would assume that some of your usage demands LTE speeds?

Thanks guys appreciate the speedy help.. so the only thing I need to do is buy a simcard from Walmart or are they free? When you activate at Walmart you don't have to pay anything that's why I wanted to do it there. But don't want to miss out on the 10 off promo. 😵

@Freshane

The SIM is $10. If you combine this offer with the $25 referral promo your SIM card cost is off set and you get a $15 towards your next month's bill. (It will show as $25 credit in your self-serve acccount after a couple of days.)

And just to say it again: You need to go into a store, buy the SIM, go home, get a referral from a current Public Mobile customer, and do the online activation yourself to qualify for this promo and the $25 referral promo.

Promo states.. Purchase a sim card..sign up Online..

@loves_tweet

Was advertised here as of today..

[loves_tweet]

interesting...where was this deal advertised?  I am a PM member and also follow on facebook and didn't see the deal!  I am looking to switch my husband over from Rogers.

[loves_tweet]

I don't think so.

The $50 8gb plan has unlimited talk Canada and usa is there any hidden fees??

>> NO PM is totally prepaid, so if you attempt something not included in your plan it just will not work

You need to activate online for this promo, not at a retail location

[GreatCanadian]

There have been plenty of offerings for current customers. Since I first joined, here are some of the offerings I have taken advantage of:

1. Switched from Province-wide to Canada-wide calling.
2. My data allotment has increased by 1 and a half GB.
3. Numerous account credits for referring customers (my most recent being the 25 dollar promotion credit)

All of this (and more) while my plan price has dropped by $5 (well, my current plan is $5 cheaper than my original one - yet with more features and data). Add in the monthly and community rewards, and I am paying about 10 bucks a month for my plan ($0 last month). I do not feel the least slighted when a promo comes out that targets New customers only. That's life! And life is too short for me to be upset that someone paid a few dollars less than I did for a product!! I'm content with knowing that I am getting a fantastic deal for a product that serves my needs. And it keeps getting better.

This is not new to Public Mobile.  New promos have been frequently offered to new activations only.  A new activation is considered a new SIM card, on a new plan.  In this case, a $30+/$90+ plan on a 30/90-day cycle.

[flashasif]

Thanks thats a better idea...

[flashasif]

No thats ignoring existing customers and not doing anything for voluntary churn..

[mimmo]

@flashasif you could always port out then port back in.  You would lose ant referals rewards etc.  Many people did that during the freedom targeted promos.

I understand the fustration, but most of the promos are to get new customers. If it was open to all existing then pm would be losing a boatload of money, as I bet more than 1/2 are on plans greater than $30.

[Carld123]

Thats retail...sales come and go..

[flashasif]

Hi Mod,

Why excluding the exisitng subscirber base in this promo? If a person want to upgrade to higher plan he/she should be getting the same discount....rather then loooking for deals else where??

[mcs11]

Wow, great deal, Public Mobile! I'm sending emails to family members now. I tried during the $25 referral to get people to switch over, but this sweetens the deal even more.

[dna2016]

Definitely a great offer, good job PM.

@kravnos that sucks, but that's the nature of retail, new deals can pop up anytime.

@ShawnC13 Is this really targeted? It's for new customers only, as the 35+25 or the second month free promos, not a specific subsection of new customers.

I know chatr  offered or used to offer 10$ off for 8 months with autopay.

@mimmo, I would say it is as it is only new activations any current $30+ plan does not get this.  When plan pricing is affected in other promos all could take advantage.  

I see your point with the free second month and that.  I guess I am just really looking for something exciting and market disrupting like they did 2 years ago.  We are no longer with the PM that was the innovator and leader in promos where others had to react to what was happening here and that saddens me.

[MoreYummy]

More coming as well.

Hmmm first time in awhile where it is a trageted promo (last one was Freedom customers) and not all existing customers as well?  Will this be a new trend or is just the Cyber Monday offering?

[Dunkman]

@reachme

You can either port directly when you activate your SIM card online

Or you could activate a new PM number first, try the service for a day or two and then port your number afterwards online by choosing the change your phone number option/tab.  

Keep your porting information simple:  just include your Rogers account holder name, account number and of course phone number.  Don't need other extra information such as PIN, IME, etc.

[Carld123]

Sign up with Pm... Then once you have your account there is an option that says change number..there is the porting from another wireless option there...
