I didn’t 😞
A friend was just about to pull the trigger and move to PM for this plan. He spends 5-6 months in the US each year. I’ve been answering questions for the last 48 hours and he is heading south in 10 days. We couldn’t find a confirmation that calls from the US side to US numbers were included and unlimited. I’m virtually certain they were but wanted to find proof.
Anyway, since I just noticed the expiry announcement in the evening with only 1 hour to go it won't be happening now. Frustrating.....

Do you know if I am eligible to have it take effect on my next renewal date or do I need to renew my plan before it expires tonight?
As always, you should usually schedule the change to occur during the next renewal. Otherwise, you would lose what you've paid for your current plan. Eligibility for this plan is no different than other plans. You only need to request/schedule the change while it is still offered.
@computergeek541 Thanks for the info!

I potentially see this step being taken possibly to get people to stay on the $60 plan, rather than swtiching to a less expensive plan and then back to this $60 plan only for times when the U.S. will be visisted.

You can schedule a plan change at your next renewal date as long as you schedule the change before expiry today,

@Alan_K Did the expiration date just get added today?
It seems like you are only giveing us a few hours notice!
I just received the email notification:
8 hours seems a bit sneaky...

Question
Answer
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. Please note that the promotion will not be honoured after it has ended. This includes SIM cards that have been purchased online, are in-transit and not yet activated.

Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information about our plans.
I am an existing customer. What is the difference between changing my plan immediately and changing my plan on the next renewal date?
When changing your plan, you have 2 options: (1) change your plan immediately or (2) change on your next renewal date.
Here is the difference:
Changing your plan immediately...
You may choose to change your plan immediately if you have used all or most of your services, if your account is suspended and you would like a different plan, or if you would like to get started right away on the new plan. Here are some things you should know about this option:
● There must be enough funds in your account to cover the full amount of the new plan.
● A new payment cycle starts when you activate your new plan.
● Your plan will not be prorated, which means that any days remaining in your current payment cycle will not be credited to your new plan.
● Due to system limitations, if your account is suspended, you will need to send a private message to our Moderator Team here to change your plan immediately. You will need to be signed in to the Community for the link to work.
● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change.
Changing your plan at the next renewal date…
On the other hand, you may choose to change your plan on your next renewal date because it allows you to use the services you have already paid for. We recommend this option so your money can go further. Here are some things you should know about this option:
● If you choose to change your plan on your next plan renewal date, the amount owed will be automatically updated.
● If you have AutoPay set up, the amount of your new plan will be charged on your payment due date.
● You can cancel a future-dated plan change at any time by clicking on the ‘Plans and Add-Ons’ tab and selecting ‘Cancel Order’.
● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change.
What happens if the “$60 UL Can/US Talk & Text 8.5GB Can 3G Data with AutoPay plus 2GB US Data Roaming” plan becomes unavailable before my next plan renewal date?
If you chose to change your plan to “$60 UL Can/US Talk & Text 8.5GB Can 3G Data with AutoPay plus 2GB US Data Roaming” on the next renewal date and the request has been submitted successfully, you will still switch to “$60 unlimited Canada/US Talk & Text” even if the promotion ends before your renewal date occurs.
