@hTideGnow  @Colbydog  Already said he have $35 plan and changing to it .they confirming why they didn’t see the $29 plan either like @Anotherpaul778   didn’t see it and no work around for the $29 that current price plan option only

HI @Colbydog 

 You don't see it now but there is a workaround to unlock it if you see the $30 plan there on your My Account

You can first pick $30 plan and do a Change Now plan change , which of course you need to pay now and the remaining days on your current cycle will be wasted.    With this, you might be able to unlock the $35 roaming plan, and you can then schedule a plan change on the following renewal day

I have the same issue, am on the $34 CAN/US plan and wanted to change to the $29 CAN/US/MEX 10GB plan. The only new MEX plans available for me are the $35/$45/$55. I contacted CS_Agent support a few times and they told me that it was a "system error" and also that it was for "new activations only". This is PM code word for you can not downgrade your 5G plan (ie: pay less).

As others noted, you could port out and then port back in. Bit of a hassle to do that IMO. Unless something way better pops up tomorrow from other cell companies, I'll renew to the $35 MEX plan on my next sub cycle.

@Anotherpaul778  My guess is because the plan you currently know is more then $29 now and PM really only wants people to upgrade plan price not downgrade plan price . And makes it harder to downgrade now . So short of porting  number out and back in on desired plan we can only change  to the plans that are available to us to switch to in our accounts . Some will tell you to ask support but they won’t help so it’s waste of both you and supports time . Only exception to that rule would be if you just activated in the last day/ or two but if you been existing customer the answer will be NO

hi @Anotherpaul778 

PM now use targeted marketing and only show selected number of plans and not all.  So, not everyone can switch to the $29 roaming plan.   You an try asking support and see if they can help, but so far, many got declined
