Now that Public has introduced a Mex Roaming for the plans, wonderif we will see more down the line

Really hoping PM will introduce more Countries to the Roam, Even a Add-On: Roam Publically:  would be nice

 

ALso, would be nice if they can intrroduce Speed boosters, access to 5G+

 

Personally, PM should phase Out their 4G Plans and Just have a Streamlined 5G/ LTE+ Plans, and Speed Boosters, longer Data Add-On Times

 

Wonder, if a BYOD DIYS Postpaid could ever exist, like the PM Prepaid, But a Postpaid, But No Call Centers, But Premium DIYS Features would be a nice step up

 

 

Hoping the Mex Roam addition will be the start for something Greater and Grander

 

Telus Cannot and Must Not Muck this Up, They might have begun the Subscription Wars that perhaps will give new perspectives

Depends on the model too, my Motorola (2024 model) shows 5G+ and 2023 (Motorola) doesn't show. So, it depends. You can wait and see if the new software update brings something!

I saw that users asked for 5G+... My wife's Samsung is/was showing 5G+ on PM in the past (not like it matters with max 250 speed). I pointed it out to her right away when I saw it. My phone doesn't. Sooo idk exactly what's going on there but her phone definitely shows 5G+ from time to time.

Ever since I was looking in my Settings if I need to switch something but I can't. I guess I have to wait until it shows up at some point.

Yeah. Variety is needed, no doubt! 4G is still fast, so it's better to stick with it, at least till 6G (thanks for pointing that out). Due to numerous factors, I still like 4G more than 5G, even if 5G seems more enticing!

That's true. Even my plan is 5G, but I have forced the network to 4G, as it saves battery and network is way better. 4G is here to stay, at least for couple of more years, easy! 3G can be removed, no doubt

hi @funpig1 I think @makkahn28 meanr to phase out the 4G speed plan, not the 4G network.  With all plans on the same speed, there will no longer be two tier speeds and no confusion .

And I know @makkahn28 wasn't asking to phase out 4G networks, realistically it won't anyway, it won't until 6G is here.  All carriers will keep at least 2 networks running concurrently, the stabke existing one and the new generation one

@makkahn28 

Phasing out 4G would be bad idea.   There are so many posts by people with 5G plans who ask why they only get a 4G signal.  The reason is that 5G does not have the longer range of 4G. If you were to discontinue 4G, many people would have no signal at all. Telus would have to build more 5G towers before they can shut down 4G.  Good idea until Telus plans to build one in your neighbourhood.  Then people will complain and wear tin foil hats.

Yes, I agree with many people on the point of Wi-Fi calling! 
Many competitors have VoWiFi, which is a plus point for people living in dorms/basements and wherever the network seems to be spotty generally! 
The plans are good right now & as soon as I saw the $35 plan (CAN/MEX/USA) on Google, I came to app and kept it in the "renewal list"
PM is doing good and them adding this small things will go a long way, no doubt : )

Those prices look way better, but so far they are leading in the deals 

Public Mobile needs to avoid this Price is Right without going over mindset

 

Finding Plans that have the Correct Price, and the Best data Bundle, that can be the catalyst between Success and Failure

$25 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 10GB 5G

$35 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 50GB 5G

$45 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 75GB 5G

 

$55 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 100GB 5G

 

$65 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 150GB 5G

What would be the price points you would suggest?

@makkahn28 

plans have been evolving almost daily now. Best to keep your eye on plan menu a few times throughout the day...then jump when you see a plan that tickles your fancy.

The $29 5G 10GB is Shocking

They should honestly have done it like this

$27 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 10GB 5G

$32 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 40GB 5G

$36 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 65GB 5G

 

$44 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 80GB 5G

 

$50 CUSMA(Can-US-Mex) 100GB 5G


I don't agree with the above.  I see that has there being too many plan options with small price differences confusing customers.

Also, Should Public Mobile bring Back the 90 Day Cycles for these?

Trying to find that sweet spot, that's a challenge

Agreed, Watch Support too

 

PM needs to be Tier 2, Not Tier 3 or Tier 4

 

Tier 2 I'd support

 

Telus should really consider

 

Koodo as their Professional Postpaid and Normal Prepaid

 

PM as the Online Only and BYOD/ DIYS Subscription Post and Advanced Pay(Prepaid)

 

Telus should Only Focus on the Security, Selling devices, Internet stuff, TV, So Telus Mobility becoming the Physical Format for Home Internet/ TV/ Security/ Selling Handsets

 

Koodo the Traditional Professional Post and Prepaid

 

PM the New Way Forward in Subscription based stuff, Online and DIYS/ BYOD/ Post and Advanced Pay(Prepaid)

@makkahn28  I think we definitely will see more CAN/US /MEX plans going forward and I would love to see the 5G+ speed plans come here too . And as @slusagm  mentioned wifi calling is a big one many been asking for so hopefully we see it soon too .also smart watch support I think be another big feature many would like to see too . 

Wi-Fi Call is also the Next in the evolution

 

They do Need to have Vo5G+ as means of Greater clarity, and to enhance the experience, enriching the experience

They should also have Data Only Plans too for Tablets, as well as Data-Only Roaming Plans, If PPL wish to use Only Online Apps, this way, the flexibility is boundless, and the risks become worth the trend

 

If the Prices were a bit higher than normal, But still within reasonability, I'd be willing to pay that as I think that PM can benefit from the fruits of the new ideas to forge subscriptions that would replace the Prepaid Format

I think wifi calling would be useful for many of us 

for roaming, Europe roaming option would be nice
