Hello Fellow PM members!
Any other ways to save (without getting lower $ package) ? Looking for suggestions.
Here are my details so you see what I have set up for myself and if you find it useful for your own set up:
Fall 2016 Promo, $38/month (autopay)
Unlmtd prov wide calling, 4GB/data
400 min Intl Long Distance, one time cost $15
(call anywhere in Canada or USA when in Canada)
I bought this for hassle free travel within Canada and if anyone was calling me out of province. So far the minutes are unused, but good chance I will be travelling within Canada this summer.
Using old Freephoneline number (aka Fongo) primarily to handle voice mail (I have PM number forwarded to FPL – then use voicemail to email option on FPL to send voice mail to my email address). Could use for calling in WiFi only situations.
60 min/month World Skype Calling, this is included in Office 365 subscription. It was 5 accounts for $80/year (bought on promo-September 2016). To calculate cost for calling is difficult since the $80/year includes all the office apps (word, excel, outlook). I hardly use the minutes, but could come in handy for global travel as well. Could use for calling in WiFi only situations.
What’sApp – its free ! Again nice to use in WiFi only situations. Can connect with my friends/contacts at any time as long as there is data connection.
Gmail account (for Hangouts) – again free and have used the free calling there (long ago), but have not used for a few years now.
Are there other possible ways to save without going with a very basic plan talk/text plan? I still need mobile data (GPS, email, google searches). I think I have it to lowest possible $ considering the coverage PM has.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I thought Google Voice was US-only?

I would just say...
Keep being active in this community and earn community rewards. Find friends to refer and get $1/month off for each. If you're still with PM by late this year, then you'll get another $1 reduction for loyalty.
From all the rewards, I've reduced my cost down to $33/month, sometimes even less.
