Not long ago, PM's lowest plan was $ 15 (only for new clients, of course).
Looks like the cheapest PM plan is now $19 or $20, depending on province.
Anyone have insight on whether PM has to comply with CRTC-mandated plans (low cost) ?
See https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/phone/mobile/occa.htm
The "Prepaid occasional-use plan" mentions "Maximum $100/year".
$100 / 12 months = 8.33, so PM plans are above this maximum.
thanks

what could be really shocking, if PM decides to increase the price of the existing $15 plan similar to what happened with $10 plan before. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but everything is possible.

I won't lie, PM's decision to remove the $15 plan is a little shocking. Hopefully they bring it back for people who only use cellular service occasionally. I know a lot of older individuals who use cellphones for "emergency purposes". The $15 plan is targeted towards them.

PM and Koodo are part of Telus, Telus need to comply with CRTC, Telus has both $100 yearly plan, $15 plan, Koodo had $15 plan only, so PM doesn’t need to comply with CRTC

PM no longer offers the $15 plan. If you want cheaper plan, you might have to look elsewhere

This is a VERY good question I was wondering about.
Most low cost providers still do have $15 plans. For some reason PM deleted that plan for new and existing customers.
You could open a ticket and ask agent why is this happening and why PM does not follow CRTC.
If you find a customer service number from CRTC you can discuss this issue with them, too.

are you new subscriber or existing?
yes, for new subscribers, $19 and $20 are the cheapest.
For existing, you have to login and check
for CRTC requirement, PM is not part of that , it is said clearly there: "We are therefore expecting Bell, Rogers, Telus and SaskTel ". I think Telus has enough lawyers to check and confirm
