@dabr@ccl62 Honestly unless the subscriber is very active (25% up) in the Public Mobile Community, the money you save compared with other is minimal at best. Unless you go for the barebone $10 plans, then % wise it would be different. Even Koodo giving $10 off for first 12 months to prepaid customers over $50 negates the price advantage (you only get extra 500Mb on the Public plan).
I had made a comparison chart here between the low cost prepaid flankers.
I won't recommend Public Mobile to a person who is not good at problem solving and / or technically savvy.
@GinYVR I don't generally disagree with you about the need to be actively involved in the community provides the most savings for users compared to other carriers, but I'm still thinking that it's easier to earn discounts here even without posting in the community forum. The obvious ones being autopay, referral and loyalty rewards. Yes I've noticed other carriers are also giving discounts/data now too with autopay, but none of the other carriers (except Koodo, unless I'm missing something) allow add-ons to roll over indefintely.
Having said that I don't think PM is a good fit for people who cannot afford to lose service for more day at the most, and it defintely requires a user to be maybe at least a little more hands on about learning and resolving some of the minor issues when they crop up.
Interesting chart and it would seem there's not too much differences between the budget carriers. But I'll still give the edge to PM on the whole:)
