Free Days

[kav2001c]

Add a feature which gives an existing client 1 free day as a birthday reward

Haha, do you mean unlimited everything for 1 full day?!

[kav2001c]

@daredogg oh I meant an extra day of your current plan (not like giving US calling or roaming for free)

Just a 31 day month to be special

Sounds like a good idea. It should be possible because back in the days tells used to have unlimited free calling on your birthday as a reward.

Are you serious @Mana?? When was back in the day? I never took advantage of this then!

[kav2001c]

@Mana another carrier did this back in the day (Koodo or Fido I am pretty sure) but I never saw it on Public?

I was with Telus a couple of years ago but I was on an old plan and one of the perks was unlimited birthday calling. 

[Subbanator96]

Oh, that makes more sense! Still pretty neat though

I like the idea but it may be difficult to implement. I think PM is having enough issues working out basic kinks at the moment 😛

I don't think this is possible, too little benefit to users and too much loss for PM.

User: 1 free day/year is like saving $1~1.5/year.

PM: I don't know how many users they have now, but lets assume they have 100K users. Each user get a free day per year means PM is giving away ~274 years of free service per year, which would cost them to loss more than $130K per year.

So I think this feature won't attract enough customers to cover PM's lost. I agree that this loss is relatively small comparing with PM's total gain, but there is no point to spend money on things that not worth it.

Another way to look at it:

Assuming the average user stays with Public Mobile year round, then the loss of revenue would be in the ballpark of 1/365th or about one quarter of a percent.  I think they could probably more than make up for that if they even grow their subscribership by a percentage point each year.
