Just got a text a few minutes ago still my number is not validating online. Do you think if I sign up at a store they could manually override if I verify I am on the correct PM plan?

I went to Walmart and got the switch. I saw in my account that the offer was valid upto mid August (I believe, it was Aug. 26). Also, I got a $300 gift card on a specific Samsung Cell Phone ($300 offer was only for the weekend), Will get $100 credit against my tab and $25 referral credit. 

If you want a referral credit, please let me know and both of us will get $25.

@will13am I’d say there is a pretty good chance that the other user may have already claimed it. @Dark Can try but if I sold him the plan and then I got the text I would jump on the 6GB for 40 l, thinking the person I sold it to would also receive a valid phone # to sign up.

The problem is when I enter my phone number on the Koodo site it is not validating. I contacted the Moderators about a month ago to correct the problem but they were unable to help me apparently. The issue stems from me buying the plan from someone that lived out of province. I ported in my own local number AFTER PM already provided Koodo with the list of eligible numbers. I started receiving the offer texts with the 6GB offer so I thought the problem was solved but my number is still not validating. Seems like an easy fix to me; just add my number into the system to make it eligible. Not sure why they can't do it for me.

@Dark, why don't you use the previous phone number in this account to qualify?  If they are not able to update the database, them the old number should still work even though you don't own it anymore.  The number is only being used to qualify for the plan.  You can port you current number for the migration step.

@Dark interesting and unique situation.  Sorry to hear that you may have to miss out for now.  Hopefully they run additional campaigns down the road and pull a fresh list at that time.

I should really un-subscribe from this thread. The Koodo plan will cost you more. Very small % of people got $100 referral credits. Most people got $25 referral. If you were referred, you would get the $25 referral credit and that would not cover you for the $3/month savings (prepay, 1 year loyalty) for even 1 year. If you start referring people for $25, that would about breakeven with referring people at PM (seems PM was giving ~$2/month off per referral for 90day plans). However, the PM awards stay forever whereas Koodo will presumably take them after 1 year. The plan is great, but it will cost you more.

And the $100 credit for transferring over is only supposed to cover the average remaining prepay + sim card.  Assume that breakevens on average.

And you can qualify for Koodo promotions even if you are a PM user.

@MyzMc where were you when Koodo was offering $100 refferal , you snooze you lose bud

@MyzMc

How is it wrong?

You get $100 bill credit for migrating from this PM plan to the Koodo plan. Then you have $25 credit pretty much easily for being referred by someone. 

Averaged out over 2 years (who know what plans will be available in 2 years time). Koodo can be cheaper. It depends how many referral you have on PM (and if any of them migrated). 

Getting 1 referral on PM = $1 off / 30 day (https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Rewards/Refer-a-Friend-Reward/m-p/411#M4), it would take 25 months to match Koodo's $25/referral. that referral would have to be with PM for the whole duration

The Koodo credits are before taxes.

Look at my calculations carefully. 

[MyzMc]

@Kaiyo

Your calculations are all wrong and already explained in my message.

$100 transfer credit was supposed to represent some sort of breakeven amount for losing prepaid service + new sim card - assume this on average is not part of the calculation.

PM has been frequently giving $2/referral/month for 90d service.

Further, do these Koodo credits paid down your bill before tax (like PM) or after tax.  If after tax, it's much worse.

You get $100 migration credit for porting from this promo + referrals.

Koodo

$40 x 24 = $960 - $100 credit - $25 referral = $835/24 = $34.79 + tax/month

+ other credits you can get for getting a phone. On this plan you can get a medium tab in the future if you want too. + additional 2gb per month

PM

($120 - $6 [autopay] - $7.5 loyalty credit* [avg between 2 years] - $3 [assuming you have 1 referral]) * 8.1 [theres 4.05 x 90 days in a year] = $838.35/24 =  34.93 + tax / month

It would take 25 months to get 1 PM referral to equal $25.

@*loyalty credit is assuming $6 + $9 (2nd year and 3rd year). most should be a little into the first year still which is still @$3. 

-This is for 2 years. 

[MoreYummy]

@MyzMc  Yea, it only works for those with high data usage.  Otherwise long run PM is cheaper.

Most store offer bonus during weekends. Check out WOW (they give prepaid credit card), Walmart (walmart gc), The Mobile Shop ( PC points).

If you need referral let me know 🙂

Yes, depends on phone and place. eg. walmart has $225 gc + ($100 bonus during weekends). You can get iphone 6 with 0 up front with a $10/m tab.

@MoreYummywrote:

What medium tab phone you get?  

Their tab system charge you monthly fee anyway, do they provide discount without paying medium tab fee?

---

some phones has free credit to bring the phone to $0 up front like the Essential phone; $0 down $15/month for 24 months = $360 + tax

or some phones are free up front plus you get free gift card (+bonus during weekends) ~$200 to ~$300 w/activation at 3rd party stores. With a tab of $10/m for 24months = $240 + tax. So you either end up almost breaking even or  earning a bit. More if you resell it.

Boy you are trigger happy with the double posts.  Yeah, I was able to max out a line but didn't fully understand all the rules with multiple lines in an account.  I kept on issuing referrals from one line and was receiving nothing while another line could have pick up some referrals that would earn something. 

Overall, I have to say the Koodo referral system is intended to make obtaining a reward extremely difficult.  I have so many referral at step 1 only.  A lot of people don't understand the need to complete step 2.  Those emails from koodo could have gone to the spam folder also.  There will be a lot of unhappy faces in about 8 weeks time.

@will13am you could spoons feed them 😃😄

I try where I can.  I had a friend that kept on insisting he's finished with the referral process.  I continue to see an awaiting status on my referral list.  I had to yell at the guy to get him to "do it twice".  He goes to the enter phone number email and then realizes this was not done yet.  D'oh.

A bit confused, if my first bill is $50, does the rest of the $50 gets transferred to pay for the next bill?

the $100 credit goes to the bill, until depleted.
