Why does Telus have a $10 50 minutes/50 Text plan but NOT Public Mobile?

[pm-smayer97]

I just realized today that Telus is STILL offering a $10 50/50 plan. 

see here: https://www.telus.com/en/mobility/prepaid/plans?linktype=subnav

I thought they had removed it but it is now there. If that is the case, why does PM not have this anymore? Did Telus just bring it back or was it always there? Regardless, since PM is the low-cost budget provider for Telus, then shouldn't PM also have the same thing?

@Catherine_T   Please bring back the $10 50/50 plan....

You've been here long enough to know to read the fine print. Heck even just the main points.

Be careful what you wish for. Our old $10 plan is better. The Telus one is local calls only and only total 50 SMS/MMS all around.

Ours is Canada-wide calling and unlimited incoming texts and any MMS.

If Lucky mobile or Chatr offer the $10 plan again, I would assume Public mobile will match.  Otherwise, I doubt PM will take the initiative to offer the $10 plan.

Hi @pm-smayer97 

Good question - hopefully PM provides an answer on the thread.

In the interim, there's a whole lotta discussion on it in a thread back awhile when they offered it here once.... have a read when ya got an hour or so:

Plan updates + new $10 limited talk and text plan! - Community (publicmobile.ca)

[EDIT:   Seems like you were quite active on that thread from years ago --- so it'll probably be familiar to you already.]
