3G Data Add On.

[pakmode]

With the new plans that were released today pushing the usage of the 3G Data - it would be good if PM could offer 3G Data Add On usage to be purchased.

Currently 1GB of 4G LTE Data AddOn is $30. Perhaps PM could offer 3-4 GB of 3G Data AddOn for the same price.

@srlawren @makkahn28

I have to be honest and say that I totally agree with both of you. Just before replying to this thread, I asked our marketing team what would be the new price for 3G data add-ons and when I learned that the price would stay the same, I didn't understand how that made sense either. Unfortunately I don't have a concret answer as to 'why' this is what has been decided. 

Rest assured that we (mods and our friends on webforms) all already shared our thoughts, concerns and opinions about all the recent changes with the marketing team. Hopefully they'll consider everyone's input and make changes or adjustments accordingly 🙂

Thanks everyone, 

Marie

The Add-On should be based on this:

1GB 3G:  $15

1GB 4G:  $20

@MarieHelene_L, curious, and also can U ask @Shazia_K and @Jeremy_M

Why the 90 Day  Unlim  Can-US Tk+Global Txt+6GB: Originally $150

HOW DID IT RISE $60 More?

I believe that the Justification is a bit heavy-handed, and frightening as well.

I think PM needs to really consider alterations, as Plans now are becoming more Stomach Churning, very hard to fatham, Pretty much more frightening and perhaps requires a reconsideration in the Pricing dept. 

Hoping PM will take these to heart and do something to ease the burden

Also, here is another thing:

PM having ZERO Call Centers, ZERO Stores, No Phones selling, how can the prices be like that?

Thanks for your honesty, @MarieHelene_L, it's very much appreciated!  I'm glad to hear you folks are as concerned as we are at some of these changes.

At the moment, the closest plan to a deal is the 90 day 18 GB, provincewide talk, and texting plan.  That on the 3G

if you can't get 4G on your device, the extra 12 GB of data compared to the 6GB plan, is $7.50 per gig.  

Go go nuts on 3G!

Most 90day plans went up $60 not just that one.

I think the 3G plans are potentially not the Correct approach

The 4G Plans could have been improved, and with Better offerings, More Terms added, perhaps would make more sense than the 3G option as it looks like now
