Just another plan price hike

[Handy1]

Public mobile is at it again cleaning out customers pockets just got this text informing me my plan will go up $3 , this after removing legacy rewards then reducing points value and adding 911 charges and now this lovely new unnecessary $ grab to old loyal customers well done public you once again found away to disappoint . And all this still without offering wifi calling such a shame BOO !

hi @Nezgar 

you should do that before the $18 is gone

[Nezgar]

Well this sucks, I have 4 plans on the $15/500MB level. If they're going up to $18 (+911 fee) then might as well just switch to this $18 for 1GB at the same price at that point.

hi @umnikke8 

as far as I know, it is not a $3 hike for everyone.  Only the $15 plan is affected by the hike

[Yummy]

How can you be sure 'other' plans are safe????

Hi,

You are changing my current plan from 15/month to 18/month starting October 30 without me asking for the change. Are you allowed to do that?

hi @aa23 

did you ever ask if your hydro company is allowed for price hike?

i know it is upset , but of course they are allowed.  

Best way to get the money worth, change to the $18 1GB plan while it is still available

I've seen it gone as a plan option on their website for a while but they never forced me to switch plans till now.

This sucks 😞

I just received the text and i'm deeply shocked as to why its increased without any information, I thought our plans was safe.. if they are allowed to just flip the switch and increase it like this, whats the point of even being with public mobile in the first place when other carrier plans are safe?

Give it 6 months and it will go up for sure.

@kairyu tried that and not very good service

and not all provinces can subscribe still, I think

[umnikke8]

For me its the new 500MB $15 plan.

[hTideGnow]

not a good news for the $15

but unless you change to those annual plan offers by some carriers, the other tier 3 carriers do not offer any plan $18 or less.  So, the best approach to this is to change to the $18 with 1GB, same price after the price hike but more data

@umnikke8  yes, schedule change to it before it goes away

@Handy1  unless you change to the annual plan one from the other carrier, the other tier 3 do not offer Wifi calling and their basic plans are $19 and above.  So, the $18 plan 1GB is still better among tier 3 even without Wifi calling

[umnikke8]

I see a $18/1G plan option available, that would be better value, but is it going to go up too?

[EB0]

I have received the following message from Public Mobile, I am not sure if’s only me, or everyone else on the legacy $15 plan

Public Mobile here with an important update.

Starting October 30, 2025, your monthly plan will increase by $3 per month, going from $15 to $18 on your next renewal date.

It's just forcing me to pay more for nothing.

you don't need it, but same price, change to that first.  That is a $20 plan, why not change to it.  With more app needs data, you might need it at some point and you will regret for not changing it

[Grinch]

Just curious what the justification is for a 20% increase?

Since there are different versions of the $15 plan, is it all $15 plans or just some?

Will there be any improvements to the $18 plan?

I will have to cancel a PM account as I just cannot afford it.

And what happened to the CTRC mandated $15 plan? Is it from Koodo, Telus or PM?

The new $15/$18 plan.

[umnikke8]

Just got the text. The $15 plan I just switched to July is already increasing in price. Goodwill already burned.

@Handy1 , you beat me to it!!

I just got that message myself. 

Wow.  Not surprised.  Just waiting for the next ball to drop!.

[slusagm]

which $15 plan is that? 250Mb or the newer one with 500Mb?

do you still see $18 for 1GB ? if $15 plan change to $18, then get the $18 for 1GB for better value
