Why can’t I get boxing week deals

[Rodrigo70]

Is there a way to get boxing week deals that are priced better than the plan I have already?

@Bramkhal  It's actually ridiculous that we can't get the same deals as existing subscribers. 

I think you mean new subscribers.   Yes it is frustrating but other carriers do the same thing, so once you switch to them you are also no longer a new activation for their special offers.  Sometimes these plans are available to existing subscribers but people miss them, like when PM switched to the points system anyone on the old $25 with 1GB plan could  have changed to the same plan but for $19.  Now that switch is no longer available.

Thanks for the correction

@colleeno @Hunter114   I was just about to say the same thing!  The only way to do it and keep your number is to port out to another provider and then sign up for a new Public Mobile account and port your number back in.  Only you can decide if it's worth the hassle!  Sometimes Public Mobile makes these "new activation only" plans available to all at a future date but not always, no guarantee.

@Hunter114 Your method would only work if they are willing to lose their phone number. Their current number would not be available.

Yes, the only way you can do it if the plan is not available in your plans is to cancel your account and loose what you paid for this month and create a new account

@Rodrigo70 You can only subscribe to plans in your my account section. PM mostly offering “upgrades” from your current plan. If you see a plan you like, opt to “change on renewal” to avoid cancelling your existing plan by paying for the new one immediately.  Hope this helps
