PM is not trying to get subscribers from Fido. Koodo is the one competing with Fido.
PM competitors are Chatr and Lucky. There is no point to offer any plan better than Chatr and Lucky because PM plans are not zoned plan like Chatr and Lucky. PM is already winning the subscriber war with Chatr and Lucky. Why offer more when comparing with what Chatr and Lucky offering.
sure, but im routing for PM to beat'em all. lol ...fido inc.
That ship has sailed you will not see PM compete with any of the first or second teir providers again.
hopefully boxing or black friday 😉

@srlawren who offers a better talk only plan for less than $20 ? I have my dad (with the 400 minutes longdistance addon) I dont recall seeing anthing better .
actually he is paying $20 - $2 autopay, and $2 loyalty) so $16, but we can stick to the price w/o rewards. 🙂

@TMS great question. I think largely it's a component of Telus' overall reponse to the CRTC calling on the carriers to provide "low cost" data options.
As @NDesai pointed out--and this is not limited just to data--PM plans for a single service (talk only OR text only OR data only) are extremely poor. As you add addition services, there is a "pick 2" discount that gets added so that the combined cost of any 2 services is less than the sum of the individual services, and then an even bigger discount is applied if you add the 3rd service in the form of a "pick 3" discount). These discounts used to be visible in the plan builder page but PM removed them a few months back in an effort to make that page more understandable. Regardless--the point is that PM's plan value strengh lies in choosing some form of each of the 3 services, and even more so if you can find a pre-configured promotional plan that provides all 3.
If you're looking for [pick your single service of choice]-only type plans, you will be better served elsewhere.

Apply for phone plan, then tablet w FIDO. After, cancel phone plan. ....Or try another retailer (TPB, COSTCO etc...)

There rways around that. 😉

Oficially you need a fido phone line/account, to get the fido tablet plan for $15

Yes, it is because Public Mobile does not want to be a low priced carrier with data only. You will save more on a plan with talk/text/data all together.
