Is Public Mobile Closing?

[rita_fuchs]

Hi,

I did a search for this topic, but couldn't find recent info (so sorry if it is a repetitive topic). My boyfriend (which I brought to PM) told me he had a call today from Koodo. They tried to convince him to go with them... and told him that PM is closing. 

He asked when was the date that PM was closing and they couldn't give any awnser...

My question is : Is PM Closing?

And if not, it's really annoying that Koodo tries to take clients like this and scare people...

Thanks!

@rita_fuchs @Foxjig1 this link above is the correct answer.

I disagree, they are already making profits with no call center to support PM, limited bandwidth on LTE and on 3G plans. Not selling costly inventory like phones on PM.....corporate greed eeh!

don't think they are closing, but i think they are pushing customers low profit plans away.

This would be close to my guess as well. Three distinct tiers of service. I wouldn't think they'd go with zones but instead province-wide calling with Canada-wide being an add-on and no longer available as a base plan option.

Then again, who knows - the last month has been a whirlwind, hasn't it?

They have zones as provinces...better than others who go down rabbit holes with cities...dont think they will make any good with that model...

Looks like that is the direction they are going in, when all will migrate from PM they will shut shop.
