@Cheam yes, the bonus data is still available, on either the full-speed 4G data plans, or the throttled 3G data plans as well.  These are the best promotions currently being offered by Public Mobile, regardless of what carrier you wish to switch from.

[Cheam]

I have ordered a Sim. Is this promotion still in effect?

Is this the best available option for switching from Freedom mobile?

[jasmina0m]

That's great. Definitely a great incentive to join the Public Mobile Community!

@Alphalee,

Hopefully one day there will be a good promotion. Only PM knows.

[Alphalee]

Do you think they will have another plan like the 4gb for $40 again?  I'm waiting as I finally got a simcard but waiting for deal to jump on it.  Last time no where locally had simcard and I missed out on a few promotion

[srlawren]

@BoomDigital depends how much data you need, how much you are okay paying, and if you're okay with much slower data.

If you want to stay with the fastest 4G plans like you have currently, the only cheaper 4G offering now available would cost you $150 for 90 days instead of $165 but you would drop down to half the available data (3 + 3 bonus for a total of 6Gb over 90 days instead of 12). If you need more than 12gb of 4G data your next option is 18gb (12+6 bonus) but it will cost you a staggering $255 for 90 days.

If you're okay dropping to the significantly slower "3G" data plans, you could have 18gb (12+6 bonus) for $156 which is a $9 savings over your current plan but for more data, albeit slower.

Quite honestly if you don't need more data you're probably better to stick with your current plan. But in the end it's up to you.

[BoomDigital]

 Is this plan better than the one I have right now??

 This plan includes: -- $55 for 4GB Promo- 12GB Data- Unlimited International Text- Unlimited Provincial Talk

For $165 per 90 Days If not I will keep the plan I have thanks in advance for any replies guys.

No, I...*ahem*...borrowed that 3G pic.  lol

I would never switch from my Fall 2016 12 GB LTE plan.  It beats the bits out of any of the current plans.  They'd have to pry it out of my rigor mortised hands.

[srlawren]

@SD08 indeed, myself as well.

Good stuff, @SD08!   (PS: Did you switch to a 3G plan?)

I purchased the data and I am pleasantly surpised, especially coming from Fido. My questions are:

1) Where on the bill does it show the bonus data? Under my "add-ons" - I only see the 3GB base data.

2) Is the data bonus perpeually renewing with auto-pay? That is the bonus data continued or just this first cycle of 90 days.

@Sophannieta

1) You can check under Plan & Add-ons, where it should indicate any bonus data like this:

You can also check under Plan & Add-ons -> Data & Add-On Usage, where it should indicate your data limit:

2) The bonus data will be available with each cycle, not just the first cycle, as long as you don't make changes to your plan.

If your bonus data is not showing correctly, you should contact a moderator.

Either you sit around and wait for Public to pull the trigger on a promo, or you take what you can get. Koodo, Fido, and Virgin currently have plans in line with Public (at least the LTE plans), minus the prepaid aspect. For some it works, others not so much.

[voucherking]

[Noosiekins]

@jshmeek she has been a fido customer for years...but her account is attached to my brother and he keeps using their fido dollars on himself

[jshmeek]

Decent deal, especially if she can get a Fido loyalty plan down the road.

[Noosiekins]

Hey all

My mom just went to WOW mobile and got a heck of a deal.

She traded in one of her old phones and got a $50 trade in guarantee.

She was then offered an LG G5 for $0

She then was given a $200 prepaid Master Card Gift card for signing a 2 year contract. 

(So far she's at -$250) 

Her Plan is with Fido at $55/month (she doesn't ever go over her 1G) 

• 1 G Data
• 500 minutes Canada-wide calling
• Unlimited Canada-wide calling evenings and weekends from 5 pm
• UNLIMITED INTERNATIONAL text, picture, and video messaging
• Call Display
• Voicemail

Not too bad all things considered. 

[Rockdaddy22]

Loyalty reward is pretty cool. I think I'll be at 2 years next renewal 🤑

It's a great offer. As long ppls not comparing with 120 dollar 12gb plan.
40 dollar 4gb 30 days vs 75 dollar 6gb 30 days.its a big difference. But for someone who moving from 3 big company then its not a bad plan. Also you have to minus all rewards too. So it depends how much you willing to contribute to community forum. I would say let's say if you do contribute and get 6 bucks off and 2 dollars off for auto pay and add 3 refferal. On 30days basis your plan get down from 75 dollars to 64 dollars. Now that's not bad at all. 🙂

But good to see a positive change.

---

I see no reason why we shouldn't compare.  Might as well compare with what others have and what might be an option again one day.  

I think counting on rewards is risky too.  There's no guarantee you can get 3 people to switch.  Getting people to switch cell phone plans isn't easy.

[Watoko]

Good to see PM listen to their customers and bounce back. Great step in the right direction.

[Michael77]

I really don't like the Less for Less slogan.

[jshmeek]

While the speeds are one thing, at least the 3G plans have the latency of LTE. That's something that can't be said for Freedom, or Chatr for that matter (who Telus is trying to use Public to compete with). And I agree, the whole "Less for Less" thing is pure nonsense.

[makkahn28]

Honestly, The 3G Plans are quite Distracting, But if they raised the Speeds, like DL 8
UL 5.5, then perhaps that might generate some potential Interest.
That Less for less, well, What would That Seseme St. Count Countcula character say?
That would be a Big Debate.
But, what we need is More Rebate, lots of Debate, and plenty of Reasonably priced Data for our NEW Smart Devices

[jshmeek]

Heck, even if they matched Freedom's current offers with 3G data (like 6GB 3G data a month for $40/month), they would get somewhere (some people on lower data LTE plans may even consider a switch), and I'm sure some Freedom customers would be enticed with the Canada-wide coverage.

Whatever the case, I just hope the future promos aren't targetting a specific carrier, they should be open to all customers.

[makkahn28]

The 4G Promos so far are a far cry from what most PPL might have anticipated. It feels more like another Generic Carrier
I'll give PM credit for the effort for last yr, BUT this Less for less thing, feels like Scones. Dry, Bland. If ONLY PM could have added the seasoning Back in there, the Sweetener, then maybe PM could be Wonderful.

[baijuxp]

Thank you . 

This plan would satisfy most users needs

[StandingWaves]

Not impressed.  Been waiting for the $40 4GB plan to come back to bring my wife over, but so far her Koodo deal is better than anything PM has to offer, and that is with nationwide calling and a call center.  Come on PM, pick it up already.
