@XionBunny it is pretty much a 3 months contract, good ways to lock down some customers from PM's point
for customers, I am not sure iI like the idea of giving you all the 90 days data upfront., this is especially not good for young people who likely have less control of data use
Everybody's needs and wants are slightly different - nobody is forcing you to go for the 90day plans.
One of the reasons I originally switched to Public Mobile way back when was the 90day plans. At that point, with the plan builder, you could have even the lowest combination in the 90day length, and it worked really well for me. Until better offers in 30day length came along, which was the point I switched.
My main line will stay on the $15, but, after some serious number crunching... with this new offering I'll be putting my data plan back to 90 days for now. I know that I'll be away from WiFi for a considerable time this summer, and I like the flexibility to spread the total data amount over three times the time. With several people hotspotting, my usage will likely be something like 6GB between mid June and mid July, possibly 45+GB during the next third and 30+ before renewal in September. Having the summer data needs covered for less than $100 (after rewards, of course) is fantastic
I acknowledge the argument of diminished flexibility in plan change. If you are comparing ALL Canadian providers, that is. With the "change plan now" (if I should be running out of data before end of my term) or "change at renewal" I personally feel PM is giving me fair options to switch if they are offering an even better deal.
But again, just because it is great for me doesn't mean that is the best solution for everbody else.
