How long will this plan be in market?	This is a limited time offer and is subject to change without notice. Please refer to Public Mobile’s Service Terms.

Only for those usernames that start with stone. 🙂 It worked fine for me just a couple days ago.

Password reset/change seems to work if you are already logged into your account and want to change it.

If you have forgotton your password your, the link or process to reset it seems to have failed.

It will come and go.  

Good its back though! 

Get them while they are here when competitions have similar plans.

I have to agree with @ShawnC13, making the other respond to Public Mobile is the course I would also like to see.

However, saying this, STOP the response, FIX the ongoing issues that prevent customers from using a fully self-serve website.  I can't recommend people to come here, because I'll be blamed for their lack of service *IF* things go wrong.  STOP forcing me to tell others to go elsewhere.

I think we have had this discussion several times in the past.  As a business, you cannot really stop selling so that you can fix your infrastructure.  It is the growth and ongoing viability of the service that gives the business a raison d'etre to invest resources to keep the infrastructure in good working order.  These are not mutually exclusive activities, but rather complementary.  This service is the only one I know that has a completely broken password reset.

I'm just glad that competive responces are not match the calling zones. 🙂

Great to see PM be  competitive, it would be better to be  innovative. 

It would be interesting to see the responces to:

1) a lower data promotion

2)  properly functioning selfserve site

3) a mod reply time to be back to a couple hours.

Good news for people wanting more data plan.  Public Mobile should just make this a regular plan, instead of limited time only.  Since the "competition" is having this similar plan most of the time recently anyways.  

As stated before, how about deals on lower data plans?

I agree with @Dunkman I have seen a few others who are looking for better deals on lower data plans. Not everyone needs so much data. 

[ShawnC13]

Competitive responses are ok it means we are getting offered what others are offering but I would really like to go back to when PM was the innovator or disruptor in the market.  Make the competition react to what you do and be a market leader not wait for what they are doing and react to it.

Is this the same plan they just made an announcement was ending? Along with the $40/4.5 GB Plan?

Is this a normal practice where they remove it for a week or two and bring it back? or are these plans really their most popular?

Why not just make it a standard plan Less for Less?
