@computergeek541   A mistake is understandable, but PM has, by now, also had ample opportunity and reason to fix the incorrect price.  Oh well..

The plans (other than  the $40 plan) were actually sold for those prices, although for only a very short period of time.  However the plans weren't well received and weren't competitive (this is opinion).  Public Mobile would have had to have actually sold a plan for that $44.50 price (which they never have) for that advertising to be true.  I'm unsure where the $44.50 number came from.  It would have made more sense if a mistake was made and a $45 price was crossed out as the past price because that would at least be consistent with plan prices being lowered by $5.

But why all plans are show as discounted?  retails tactics to inflate  the original price and then show a special price to make it attractive?

@computergeek541   Yes, that's what I thought as well, except I couldn't remember the exact price of the $41.25 plan.    Which makes the screenshot details that @BKNS27  has posted to be misleading if not worse, IMO.

@computergeek541 

Seems like PM is adjusting their prices for click bait on the website.

@dabr @BKNS27 

The current $40 plan was never $44.50.  Public Mobile has never had a 30-day plan at that price.  Yes, the past $41.25 plan was the first time Public Mobile introduced a plan that wasn't priced at a whole dollar amount.

@Dunkman 

nice promotion 

[dabr]

@Dunkman    That's a really good promo for anyone who is interested in getting a lot of data for a discount.  Too bad it drops off after 12 months. 

@BKNS27    I don't remember seeing a plan priced at $44.50.  I thought there was only two plans that had prices ending in cents like the $37.25 plan and I think 41.75 (or similar).  Maybe I've forgotten this $44.50 plan.

Hi @Dunkman wow.. 12month12GB??? I hope it is not a typo.. LoL

Great offer!!

[RossN]

@Dunkman yes that is impressive !!

[BKNS27]

Wow, that is 17gb for 12 months with a minimum $40 plan. The price for the $44.50 plan went down to $40 with 5gb of data at 4G speed.

What a deal!
