Give the $10 base some usefulness...

[David]

Right now, the $10 base for 30 days is like a hot potato: it's been thrown into the mix without so much use as to provide extra profits for Public Mobile.  We get it that they need to be profitable, but we, as customers, don't like to simply give out free money just because we're nice.

So, I propose (lol, right?) to give some use to that $10 base.

Let people (who want to) get the $10 base + addons only.

$10 base every 30 days + 1 addon for 1GB/$30 (example) and for $10 a month + initial booster cost, you can use your booster until depletion.

I know I'm dreaming awake, but heck, I like the idea!

@Moid_I Thanks for the PM rationale. However, while I agree it is the total price of any plan that untimately determines its value and popularity, its still is a psychological barrier that could be eliminated at miniscule cost to PM.

For example, once one is a customer has joined paying the base rate: holds your phone number even if plan goes unpaid; or 50 meg of data; or 3 International MMS, etc.

Public needs to get to work with those ideas
