"Compete" means something different.

Telus would never try to entice Telus customers with cheaper Telus offers. "Hey, we know you're already a Telus customer. But here at Koodo we can give you a better deal." "Heads up, if you leave Koodo and join Public Mobile, you'll start saving $10/month right away. And if you act now, we'll even throw in a 2GB data add-on as a signup bonus. Sweet deal, eh?"

And I will argue that Prepaid (NO credit check required) versus Postpaid (credit check required) is a factor for many people as well.

@computergeek541 when plans are compared, different things are compared... not only the price. Price, minutes, data, networks, customer service.

OP comparing PM with Koodo or Telus.


Public Mobile's plans are no comparision to Freedom's. Freedom's plan are much better, though the network isn't good.  Public Mobile also stopped competing long ago with Freedom Mobile, and now largely only mirros Lucky Mobile and Chatr Wireless.

I came across the same lack of feature - unable to delete post. The only way to negate what I said if I think it is wrong or incorrect is to edit it and remove all text, leave maybe dot (.) or just to strikethrough.

Yes the $51 isn’t shared between the four or more lines but the data is!

it's shareable data

 

$51/7.5gb per line. if the 30gb was split between the family. on top of that there's a huge potential kids might use that 30gb like it was nothing. leaving the rest of the family with nothing. it's not really that great of a deal...

 

$50/10.5gb for pm customers. I don't see any competition here...

It's like comparing apples and oranges. There's no comparison, so there's nothing to compete with.  lol

When it comes to Prepaid, PM plans are very good with rewards. If there are better deals available, I am sure PM would try to offer something similar. At one point in the past, they were battling with Freedom. Now a days in the prepaid world, no one wants to be the first one to offer a best deal unfortunately.

yes, i think 4 or more lines means "minimum"  charge is $51 x4.  It is good if you are moving your whole family under one roof

 @DDM69 : 1. bring 4 or more lines 2. OAC - so it's postpaid

But whatever enticement to attract customers.
