No thanks! Self-aggrandizement should go unrewarded
Why are you here anyway, other than lurking and leaving condescending remarks, as it that is not "self-aggrandizement"? At least I am trying to help others. What have you got to offer?

I think it's intermittent. Everyone's been telling me have to call me three times before it goes through,and my calls have been dropping but my wife hasn't noticed an issue

Even though so far all of our 3 PM accounts have not encountered any problems and we recently ported our numbers from Bell to PM I'm getting a bit concerned. My concern stems from the many complains and negative comments especially your post considering that you have been with PM since 2017. We daily text many times and use data, although we mostly use wifi because our phones are set up to only use data when wifi is not available. Perhaps we're just lucky or is it because we very seldom make voice calls?

OK ..you like tons of DATA ..and like to be tied down to a contract... . because perhaps you don't have WIFI at home and you want to watch 1 or 2 HD movies when your camping. But the key question is if you can get a better deal elsewhere why do you bother with PM ?
@BEER dont make assumptions, you know absolutely nothing about anyone's needs ! You simply asked for Examples of better deals and I provided them. Those are the first two I came across, there are many more. And yes, unless PM gets its service fixed and some better deals many people will leave when they realize they pay more for a lot less and terrible service.
Sorry ... thanks for pointing out that I "know absolutely nothing about anyone's needs " and that you do. But the burning question that you haven't yet answered......... is since you say you know that PM has "terrible service" and that there are better deals with other providers ..... why are you still with PM and also on this forum?
HOWEVER PM meets my requirements and I strongly disagree that their moderator service is --as you say "terrible". For my needs, I prefer the ($15-$2) $13 plan that works out to only $156 year compared to your example of $600/year.
05-07-2019 09:57 AM
I am still on the plan 40$/4.5gb+ bonus 0.5. They better not "suspend" my service just to get a more expensive plan.

The 3G term is dumb. What it really is, is 4G LTE connections throttled down to 3G *speeds*. In this case 3mbps.
It has been said that they should call it LTE Lite.

As per the May 2 update of the announcement, the $30 offer for 1 GB at 3G speed has expired. The other two plans ($40 for 2.5 GB and $45 for 4.5 GB) are still available.

They had 5gb for $40 last month.. I suppose they need to occasionally change to lesser deals just to make sales sound better.

@BEERSounds like you dont like big DATA, Lucky has an unlimited Canada plan + 1.5GB data for $25
PM has prov wide talk & no data for the same price.... needs more examples ?
Sorry - don't want to be going back and forth but will cut and paste the $13 PM plan that I'm referring to. It may not be for you but for my most important criteria is that it includes unlimited texts -- followed by enough data for me to use my banking, google and email needs followed by the almost never used voice minutes.
05-04-2019 07:27 PM
Pretty sure PM had just last month a $45 plan with 4.5 gigs. These plans all sounds like a downgrade.
05-04-2019 12:41 AM
So I had a look.
$10 plan - can't add any data - win PM
$15 plan - again can't add data to the 250mb autopay and also is like old PM $15 plan. Now PM has unlimited incoming - win PM
$20 plan - again can't add data to the 250mb autopay - but win LM for some data
$25 plan - win LM - like old old PM $25 - hello PM
That's as far as I care to go. I'm a bottom dweller 🙂 $10 thank you very much. I'll stick with PM.
And the final kicker...I see no mention of anything resembling rewards over there (other than bonuses for autopay). PM has 4 kinds of rewards.

@Karnbot13 I see Freedom is still only good in Major Cities, I am not suprised since you had issues. I seen they have expanded a lot around Ottawa and every little city between here are Toronto is covered too.
Right now the best option for people that are used to PM would be lucky, basically same as PM but on the Bell network and has a few more perks and some more data on thecheapest plans.
I read an article just yesterday that Freedom be the first Cheap Provider to offer 5G with Unlimited data... maybe then I will go back.
05-03-2019 10:16 PM
Just a warning on freedom, get a plan with them ghost and don't lock in our port the number. The dealsv are great on the paper and in small area where they work. I had unlimited roaming in both canada and usa, while it worked well when i cross border, once I'm inn canada I the area without service canadian roaming NEVER worked, and i moved into spotty area which meant i could have couple of minutes of connection if it was sunny and I'm on the last floor. I would get20 missed calls and 6 hours later 30 texts, and they kept promising, i call from land line and I'm with them for hours and they transfer me to higher level tech support where i wait for 20 minutes just to be disconnected right after saying hi
Then i decided I'll trade with a relative and let home use my account since that plan is not offered anymore, i wanna keep my old phone and for him i was eligible for upgrade, well nope again, it's an 'old' plan they called it grandfathered which is absolutely NOT as that account was created in freedom store not wind store, but they had that policy change that stated grandfathered plans are not elige for upgrade, so now they call everything younger than conceived grandfathered, and somehow my usa data roaming i had was also gone (i know i had it as i used it at the beginning) so i have to go find the papers when i signed up, call customer support ohhhhh
So on the paper it's great 45 (40 with digital discount) 5g of lte, unlimited ( actually 2300mins) calls to usa and canada, unlimited roaming in us and canada (calls, texts and data), and data never ends, they slows down. I was really happy for long time cause everywhere i went it worked great, would sometimes drop connection or just blank out for a minute on highway, but other services had the same issue.
The problem started once i had to call 611
Oh yeah and one of the first times i called to complain about the connection you know what the rep said? You won't believe this: it's freedom mobile, what do you expect.

My needs are rural. Rogers isn't very good where I am therefore nor is Freedom. It's Telus or Bell for where I am. I'm fine with that.
Next.
