Hello fellow PublicMobilers,
I got this E-Mail two days ago and have no idea if its real.
I changed to the Beta system but only two years ago.
Here is the message:
Hello [My name],
Thank you for your interest in changing to one of our new price plan.
Have you added funds in your account for this price plan change to take effect?
With this change, as mentioned by the Call Centre agent:
o If you have any questions or comments, you may visit our Community and click on “Contact Us”.
It than mentions the support team E-Mail address no longer being monitered and merging with the community page.
Thank you for being part of Public Mobile and enjoy the rest of your day!
Respectfully,
The Public Mobile Team
Did anyone else got this E-Mail besides me?
Solved! Go to Solution.

OK @Angelic_Fille90 you can toss that email into the garbage.
To be safe, just pay attention the day after your renewal in case something weird is going on.
If you have other questions, I suggest you open a new topic as this thread is getting rather long.

I was contacted by a Moderator and here is the message:
Hey there, The message you received is real. It was sent to all customers who try to contact us by email webform. The inbox will no longer be monitored and all communications will be done here, on the community 🙂 Sorry if this message caused any worries to you, but we're still here to help, when needed. Best regards, [Moderator name]
Well, THAT is a relief.
Thanks to @neatooo, @Luddite, and @xCameron94x for your help.

Login to your account to confirm the plan is as you expect.
I'm paying the 40 dollar plan and am still with Public Mobile of course.
I need to make a payment to reactive it before August 12th.
I thnk you can safely ignore the message. It looks like the one Koodo was sending customers who migrated from legacy plans.
Are you still on the monthly Canada wide calling/texting/1GB data from that era, or one of the 90 days "$40" promos?
When I got my Alcatel in 2014, I got the 19 dollar plan and paid 110 dollars for the phone, seeing on how PublicMobile is a non-contact base company.
Once in 2015 when I called the old call center, I asked to change my plan to the 25 dollar one. They told me they no longer had 25 dollar plans and I was informed that their plans would be higher than 25.
I had no choice but to pick the 40 dollar one and was happy with it.
I never got any promo whatsoever.
I have been on this 40 dollar plan for over 2 years now-even though I have the phone issuse as previously mentioned.

I am submitting this request on behalf of the customer and confirm I have informed him/her of all impacts to their service as a result of the change:
Services | Gained | Lost |
Access to speak with a Call Centre agents | • | |
Access to Self-serve for Pick & Pay rate plan change | • | |

Eligible for rewards programs | • | |
Pick & Pay style rate plan | • |
I have also confirmed that the customer has:

I DID NOT even sent an E-Mail requesting this. Plus I mention my old Alcatel wasn't working anymore and I need a new SIM because the cellphone was stolen.
What is going on?

@Angelic_Fille90 if you did do a plan change (your had your plan before Telus bought PM) and did a plan change, I can see that e-mail being sent because you were seen as a "legacy customer" on a legacy plan.
If you signed up for PM After telus bought them out, then you should not be seeing that e-mail, but who knows sometimes provider emails get sent to people that shouldnt.
Another way to determine: If you get rewards, you are on the newer plans (Telus era). If you do not get rewards, you are on a "legacy plan" (Pre-Telus era)
What was the email address that sent the e-mail?
On July 7th 2014 was when I got my cellphone of Alcatel. I use the same E-Mail address of when I got that cellphone and number the same as now.
When I got my very first cellphone it was April 2012 but it was a different cell phone and number but no E-Mail was needed.

If you moved from one of the grandfathered plans (before Telus bought PM, where you had access to the call centre), it is possible you received this message for that.
To confirm please contact the mods. Please include sim#, phone#, email used during for self-serve, and detailed description of what happened.
