Goodbye it was fun

[jgorman]

Well I went in to Koodo today and did the switch. 

The extra gig off data did it for me. 

Got 5gigs for $40. 

$100 bill credit and $50 refer a friend credit. 

The koodo rep said Public mobile will be gone by this time next year. Telus is phasing them out. 

And I believe that to be true. 

My suggestion is to switch now while the offer is this good. 

Refer a friend $50 is only good till Mar 1st then goes back to $25. 

You know what. I’m happy. 

Good bye public Mobile it’s been fun. 

Need a referral for credit let me know. 

PS

the 1 gig extra is in advertised he said but just need to show your original text from PM about the 4gig for $40 and they will give you the 5gigs. 

Its a great deal. 

And im happy

It's not about "I'll show them" for me ... the Telus bottom line doesn't concern me as long as they're making enough money to maintain their operational costs while I'm their customer, lol.

My bottom line is my concern.  I'm already a Telus=Koodo=PM customer, and I already get everything I want/need from the PM corner.  I'm sure when I feel like handing out extra money then Telus will be far, far down on my list of deserving and needy recipients.

And you're still giving money to the same people who wanted to raise our rate by 25%.

I said it before and I'll say it again:

Telus = Koodo = Public Mobile

So, if you're switching because you are saying "I'll show them" all you're showing them is that you're maintaining their bottom line.

If they are indeed phasing out PM and it will be gone by the end of next year, so be it.  I'll ride the cheap wave until I am forced to move, then never use a Telus product again.

@DavidNS Bravo to you sir  Well said

- and your increasing Telus ARPU which is exactly what they wanted.

Might be true, might not.  Definitely helped the rep close the sale, which adds context.  I also find the source (Koodo rep) a little dubious because thus far Koodo reps apparently haven't had any real communication with PM (or Telus) about other things they should have coordinated in advance.

So I take this statement as speculation, rumour, hearsay.  Cannot be confirmed (at this time).

But even assuming this "news" is valid - I still get about a year on PM before I have to find an alternative.  I'll see what Koodo offers then.  I'll see what the other carriers offer then.  Not in a hurry to pay more.

---

I highly doubt it’s true. Bell just started their third tier brand, I can’t see why Telus would do that. Maybe going 3g only for new customers is a possibility.

it's tempting for sure, i would swich if I actually need that much data too.

But isn't that the point we've made over and over in the forum: decide what you need/want, then go to whatever carrier has the best price for that.

[guinness22]

If Pm Offer you 1O GB for 50 next month can you please come back . make pm great again 

[ShawnC13]

Quoted wrong post.

[guinness22]

Do you think your even come back to PM . Huh ...

[jgorman]

No other fees. 

Switched today 

[Luddite]

It's turning into "the long goodbye". 

[TheOldVR]

Question for those who flipped over to the 50GB/$40 plan....

Are there any other fees above the $40? 911 fees, account fees, anything other than tax?

Thanks!
