@Rustynayl Good news! Thanks, Moderators. 🙂

[Rustynayl]

So I got in contact with a moderator, they said that since I ordered my Simcard while the promotion was still active, they will honor the deal. So once the Simcard arrives, I will still be able to port my wife over from FM and get the deal.

[Michael77]

I feel really bad for the people who planned on porting to PM but thought they had more time. I don't think I've ever seen a phone company pull a promotion so quickly without giving people enough notice. It looks like FM is doing the same thing but at least they are telling you when their promotion is ending.

[Gamer]

I got public mobile for this reason and i cant even use my account i tried to activate my new account and got some error Message now i cant even activate my account.I Got $75 on it and when i call the mobile number it says my account is suspended how its a new account i made today!

[Michael77]

If people knew the plan ended today they may have switched earlier in the day.

[Michael77]

The stores close at 9pm.  I don't have the time to go.

[xCameron94x]

I wonder how many people actually switched to the freedom promo

[Noosiekins]

so @Michael77 still going to switch? @jshmeek still gonna give them a go?

[Michael77]

It's sad. This really isn't competition. It looks like the big 3 and small 1 are talking with each other. This is not the way it's supposed to be. I am not sure what can be done?  I guess we just live with it.

I just confirmed.  The FM deal is only for today then it expires. Sounds like FM and PM have been talking.

Thanks. I've sent them a message. I will let you know how it goes.

[jshmeek]

@Jeremy_M So you can wait until Freedom backs off? Typical... Try to compete, get one upped, hide in a corner.

Don't count on a better promo, I hope I'm wrong

Correct. Just take the best month-month deal for you today and see what tomorrow brings. PM's 90 day plans are helpful for managing data, but painful if a better deal occurs close to your renewal.

I just ported my FM # to PM and realized the promotion is over..

Hope PM would still honour the promotion..

@panzer168 Two options:

a) click this: message to moderators to send a private message to the moderator team with your phone number and an explanation requesting they honour the promo, or

b) port back to Freedom for their Public Mobile customer deal, but you would forfeit your payment already made to PM.

[Jeremy_M]

@jshmeek

To avoid unnecessary expectations. The promo has been removed and not put on hold. Stay tuned for other great promotions!

Jeremy

[denkom]

@jshmeek Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see the new promo.

[jshmeek]

I messaged the mods to see what the deal was with the promo. Here's the response. Looks like they'll be re-releasing it, and possibly revamping it.

[eelui]

Thanks guys! So happy I left Freedom - was there for 5 days (didn't know it was so bad) and hated every moment of it. "Jumped" on this promo when my brother told me about it 

[Noosiekins]

@eelui good luck!!!

@eelui I'm so happy to hear that!  Chalk one up for the awesome @CS_Agent!  🙂

[srlawren]

@eelui yeah i was worried that some may have done this.  I'd be pretty livid if I were you, too!  😞  You could try sending a polite request to the moderator team via private message to see if they can help.  Technically as you were trying to circumvent the restrictions on the promo they probably aren't under any obligation to help but they just might as a gesture of good will.  Worth asking, at least!

[Michael77]

@smp99,

LOL

[eelui]

WHAT! 
I just ported out from Freedom mobile thinking this promo was going on - I went into the kiosk to buy the prepaid SIM card too. 

[smp99]

Wow !

go into town to run a few errands, come back and it's all craziness. This must what the Whitehouse feels like everyday now.
