How to switch to lower monthly plan?

[will13am]

Why not shop for a cheaper deal elsewhere and call it a day?

@Joe5918  Today it ends you mean so it’s set to renew tm after midnight tonight ? If so you want to schedule plan change for next renewal  in your account or just let it renew on your current subscription as the account needs to be active to port out if that’s the route you wanna go . Or run down to the mall today and port out before the  plan renews . Or else you be best to wait another 27-28 days after renewal to port once your plan renews PM is pre paid and no refunds / pro rating for unused time

My current plan is due today.

hi @Joe5918 port to Fongo.  $25 to port in, no monthly fees after.  And you can still use the number with the app

[Joe5918]

It looks this is the way. I will find a carrier to park my number then switch back as new.

hi @Joe5918 exactly this reason why carriers will give better deal for new activation only, they know exiting subscribers are not going anywhere 🙂

But Black Friday is coming and PM will usually offer great deals for existing as well.  Keep an eye

@Joe5918  I bet it it dose take time and $ to go thru that hassle so waiting for Black Friday might be your best option as previously mentioned if not by end of this week or start of next week we should all see better option for existing customers to switch to fingers crossed 🤞

It takes lot of effort to swich to other carrier. Wife doesn't like me to save couple bucks this way:-(

[Handy1]

@Joe5918  That’s most likely why then at that’s pretty low price in the first place . If this account doesn’t have any friends refferals and you don’t want wait and see what black Friday may bring for plan options . One could always port number out to new carrier and port back in on newly created public mobile account with new sim and email and get the plan that is most attractive to you currently offered is the only work around

@Joe5918 

You may have to wait until Black Day to see what plans they will offer you then as noted by @Handy1 .

[Joe5918]

I am at $29. It is not my main line.

[Handy1]

@Joe5918  What plan are you on now ? I’m guessing it’s $40 or higher currently? I’m on $34 60GB and only have $30 15GB option to lower bill everything else is more expensive to change to 

[Joe5918]

The issue is i cannot see any lower data plan.

@Joe5918 

You will need to login to your account and go to Subscription>Manage Subscription>Change Subscription and you will see a list of plans you can switch to  but switch on Your Next Renewal date do you won’t be charge for the old plan and new plan.

[Handy1]

@Joe5918  It’s harder to downgrade plans these days since the old legacy rewards have been removed and everyone moved to the new points system. So you just have to look in your account to switch to the plans that are available to you to switch to despite what we see on the website. Just remember when changing plans to use the change on renewal option and not immediately or you lose money on your current cycle . PM is pre paid and no refunds / pro rating for unused time 

adding @Joe5918  by of this week or start of next week , I suspect we will see more attractive plans for existing customers like us with Black Friday sales fast approaching
