You mentioned 1 GB of data but it's supposed to have 5 gigabytes of data is it not

[Dunkman]

@Zippy 

Yes, $25 plan has unlimited Canada calling, unlimited international text and 1 GB 3G data

[Zippy]

Does the new $25 plan include Canada wide talking?

• Eligible customers will be provided the one-time 5 GB data Add-On within 7 days.

I think SIMon answered the question. What is an AddOn?

"Our In Canada Data and Long Distance Add-Ons don't expire until the service is fully depleted. In other words, any remaining data or minutes will roll over at your renewal date until they're used up."

Thank you SIMon.

It appears to be a one time add-on that is associated with your plan - for as long as you keep your plan (active and unchanged). 

At least that's my understanding. Can someone in the know please confirm?

You've read it just as well as the rest of us have. 🙂

Maybe with all the p1$$ed off people that have walked with all the endless problems of late...they need to get back some new customers. 🙂

yep, as long as you dont change plans or become inactive, the data bonus shouldn't expire (until you use it all obviously)

I know, right.  I've been a customer for a week.  Ah well.

[iconicrocket]

Just to confirm. Is the 5 GB one time use. Or recurring 5 Gb each month with the purchase plan?

@lindalee  Yes, add-ons do not have an expiry date.

Wrong.  Read the offer details

"5GB one-time data bonus will be applied to eligible Ready-made rate plans of $25/month or more. Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed."

Although it is not stated at OP, read the offer details too.

Odd that the $0 SIM excludes the new PM Kiosk locations. You'd think that would be an opportunity to promote them.

The retail locations need to make some money some how 🙂

[pm-smayer97]

Also, are these offers still eligible for the $10 referal bonus? Do not see that mentioned anywhere.

Nevermind -- I just noticed the link to the More Ways to Save which includes the referral credit.

It's not unlike the other promo where you had to keep a >=$30 plan to keep getting the $10 credit. This should be the same as that. Change to any plan if you like as long as it's >=$25. But no. It says change plan period. That should be clarified.

@Alireja  good catch.   usually there is a spoiler with additional details, we haev never had to go to the plan to see teh fine print.

 @Alan_K   maybe you want to add the fine print to the announcement.

I will be curious to see if the system can handle removing the  addon, for suspended or changed plans.

You can find it here under "offer details".

Good point!  So unable to change to a lower price plan and retain the add-on...too bad:(

[Alireja]

[mimmo]

@lindalee  this is only for new activations not existing customer/ plan changes.

@liuxinbingin past promotions the bonus 1 time data is there utill it is used up (ie you went over your monthly data limit)

edit, @lindalee  (misread you question), yes as long as you meet the requirements of the promo you get the addon, after you get it you can futuredate to thq $10 or $15 plan and you keep the addon.   see posts below

is the 5gb bonus for one month or doesn't expire until runs out? just curious.

And agree that it is the time to have the 25 dollar referral.

The wording specifically says add-on so I would think it means it runs out like any add-on.

@Alan_K 

Great promo.

It is time to have a $25 refer-a-friend promo next week after PM backend seem to be working properly.

[geopublic]

Lucky  and Chatr  must be . This is getting interesting. Maybe it's time to become a born again PM customer
