I think that you have to pick a $35 or higher plan to get the data bonus and then stay with that plan until the data is used up before switching plans. Otherwise you may lose the test of the data plan. I think you were looking for the $15 plan @Ed404 ?

Niw this the type of deal I was looking for let's go!

Hi @samcat 

These are i believe standard lines and you will probably see it in similar offers by other companies

About the subject to change, yes they can change this promo at any point, any moment they can stop it and everybody up to that point who got it, got it, if you planned but didn't act - sorry. They can change it to 2 gigs or 10 gigs at any point, up to the announced time if you got it you have 5 if you activated after the announced time you get the other amount.

If you start going through the past posts you will notice that most of those offers actually ended up with extensions.

@samcat one-time means it only happens once. You won't receive that same bonus for this offer ever again.

Subject to change means they can stop offering this promo early.

Hello,

The advertisement on home page reads:

"5GB one-time data bonus will be applied to rate plans of $35/month or more. Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed."

I find the "one-time data bonus" and the following sentence contradictory.

One-time data bonus might mean it only applies to one month, but it can also mean it is offered once with activation of $35/month or more, until the account becomes inactive or rate plan is changed.

Could you clarify?

On another note, all public mobile promo conditions seems to contain a sentence "This offer is subject to change without notice." Exactly what does this mean and is this reasonable? For example, a really great promo attracts many new customers to activate. Following week, public mobile decides to change the plan to get rid of the promo offered previous week. Whether this happens with or without notice, is this similar to what's implied? I just want to understand the meaning behind the conditions and the likelihood of this happening.

Nice deal.

[hinamirza]

Customers are always going to hope for better, but the main things that they're likely looking for are lower prices, LTE data, and unlimited data.

I am just wondering if I need to pay up front for the first month upon signing up? I am interested in signing up an account today to get this deal but I dont have the money to pay for a full month until I get paid on December 6th. Also, if I do this online, will I be able to keep my number from bell mobility?

You always pay up front when activating. There's never a promo that you don't have to pay up front, not even when there's a free month.

No one is clear. We're still waiting (if ever) for an official reply from @Alan_K or @Tiana_V. Past promos have shown that changing plans doesn't lose the add-on and they had similar wording too. Or the $10 credit promo changing plans up also said no changing of plan.

It would be nice if either could chime in and clear up either the wording or state that the add-on stays.

---

@Anonymous Thanks for the question; changing your plan (any kind of change) will cause the one-time 5 GB Add-On to be removed this time around due to the way the promotion was coded. 

---

@Alan_K 

This coding can't easily be changed? No problem the restriction to a $35 minimum n but do you really want to make customers think twice about upgrading?

AE_Collector

Wow @AE_Collector didn't even occur to me, you are right who would want to upgrade and lose it, unless again the 1.5 gigs ends up not being enough and they consume it quickly. But most of people understand their needs and can plan

 @Alan_K 

Thanks for the confirmation. Interesting that an add-on would behave differently from the others and the other promos in the past.

Oh well.

Maybe somebody will test it for their next renewal. 🙂

We get the 5 gb add on with activation of the 35$ (or greater) plan. But if we change the 35$ plan to a 25$ or the 15$ plan then next bill cycle, we forfiet the 5 gb add on and it goes away?

This is a pre-paid service so yes you need to pay up front.

You will be able to transfer your Bell number. That account has to be active to do so.

[AJ9]

The fine print says "Bonus data will expire if account becomes inactive or the rate plan is changed.". That's telling me that even if I upgrade to let's say a $40/month plan, I'll still lose my 5GB bonus add-on.

So regardless of whether you upgrade or downgrade, you will lose it as per the current terms and conditions, unless we get a formal clarification from @Tiana_V or any other moderator.

That is correct per the wording. The discrepancy is that in the past these type of promo add-ons have NOT worked that way so we are hoping for a clarification / confirmation from someone in the know. For now we gave to assume that a change to lower than $35 plan will terminate the add-on permanently.

Hi guys, if I'm switiching over to Public, I will need to order a sim card.  Can I still get the Black Friday deal knowing my Sim Card does will not arrive in time.  

Also the if extra 5 GB bonus as a add, is that for a month or for as long as I keep the plan?

Thanks

Cheers KonaT

There might still be enough time for a sim card to arrive, but the sim card must be activated while the promotion is still active.  Simply ordering is not enough to secure the promotion unless you buy it from a third party who is willing to give you sim card details to let you activate it before you receive it in the mail.

[AE_Collector]

@NanaD 

Of course you can get a little bit of data by bumping to the $15 plan, no need to go to $35!

AE_Collector

[NanaD]

Thanks for the prompt reply! I don't really want to lose the $10 plan but I was thinking a little bit of data could be useful too... thanks for your inp!

[GR]

@NanaD its just for new activations. Since you can no longer get the 10$ plan you're lucky to have one! 

[NanaD]

This might be a dumb question so forgive me if so but if I'm currently on a $10/month plan and change to the $35/month plan do I get the bonus? Or is it really just for newbies that haven't yet had an account?

[GR]

@KonaT yes but you'll probably have to get them to activate the Sim card too because some Walmarts will not sell just the card with the activation.  Having said that you can still get the bonus data in the 35$ or more plan and you can also use a refferal code to get the 10$credit on your new activation!
