How long do the promotion rates last?

[99entry]

What does the $40 plan revert to after the end of the promotion period? Also, is this a GSM service provider?

That information isn't correct.  Public Mobile has never had a 2G GSM network.  The statement about LTE bands is also wrong.

I switched that plan yesterday, with renew at next billing, but since the plan is gone now, I'm not sure whether I switched successfully or not.

The plan sticks with you until you change the plan/promotion.

PM doesn't provide GSM (2G) service...was replaced a long time ago in favour of 3G, then 4G and LTE.

@hTideGnowI think he's referring to when the plan is no longer offered.  Like the $34 50GB CAN/US is no longer available as of yesterday/this morning.  It is now $34 50GB CAN only, no US.  So those who didn't get the CAN/US plan are out of luck unless they want to pay $39 for 60GB CAN/US.  The $34 is permanent as they locked in that price.

HI @99entry 

1. we don't know. PM usually just stop the promo offers anytime. They sometimes put a end date but they might or might not extend it.  Like the $34 plan, should expired yesterday, but they extended with no further end date

2. no, no more GSM, GSM means 2G.   PM is a 3G/4G/5G provider.  PM uses 3G voices for phones that is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist.  But data works on 3G/4G/5G

Thank you.
