You know how there's the IMEI, Wonder, IF there is PERHAPS ALSO another way, like....

[makkahn28]

You know how with IMEI Lost/Stolen or Compatibility, Just to CHECK for Compatibility, If there was a way to JUST Click the Brand, Model, and then they list SUB-Models and IF 3G OR 3&4G LTE compatible

Would that be more of a Simplified and Direct WAY to determine the Compatibility of handset, IN a Language PM Clients could at least Understand, even those with little Tech experience?

There are still PPL who have SOME difficulty, would this make Process easier, Separate from Determining If Handset was Lost/Stolen

Making things more Simple to understand?

Like this site, that we have been using and recommending?

www.apn-canada.gishan.net/

@makkahn28 that exists, it's willmyphonework.net.  We have asked PM to use that instead or in addition to their IMEI checker but with no success.  

[makkahn28]

Perhaps IF PM had something equivalent on their OWN website

Also, I do know about that www.willmyphonework.net

I also found out about this http://www.apn-canada.gishan.net/ 

Too

PM really needs to make things easier

As so many handsets come out, BUT It's the SUB-MODELS of the Model itself that can confuse PPL

If there's 5-more Sub-Models of, Let's say Moto G5SPlus, & ONLY 2/8 are Fully Compatible, That's where the Headache begins

[makkahn28]

Just saying, PM really needs to do their Part as well

CERTAIN Frills, like this, MAYBE Necessary

This along with Very Useful, Essentials, LIKE TRUE Global Roaming, Can tip the Scale in PM's favor

[srlawren]

@makkahn28 I'm not saying it's not a good idea... I pushed for it too.  Instead, I'll simply say:  "good luck."

[makkahn28]

@David_J, @Shazia_K, @Brooke_C, If you do read this, at least try to take this under some consideration

The Multiple Sub-Models of a Phone, Like Moto G5Plus, has like 4-6 different Sub-Models, BUT Only 1 or 2 are Fully Compatible

Plus, a PM App to Micro-Manage Self-Serve, Truly Global Roaming as well, These are JUST a few, in my Opinion, RARE Essentials that PERSONALLY should be Explored to see.

Just saying, to help make things easier for Everyone

Really concerned this No Frills Nonsense may mean a Completely Stripped down, which makes No sense

We're willing to pay the price, Just to be fair

[stonechucker]

True Global roaming is totally a frill.  Just be like everyone else, and get a local SIM card, or prepaid phone if you need to have the access.

Personally, If I'm travelling on vacation, I'll leave my hotel phone number with someone I trust, and they can get me that way.

I don't need to be reachable when I am away, but then I'm not doing business away.  And business to me, is not for a carrier like Public Mobile.

OK - we are working on this as we do recognize that the current IMEI checker isn't doing an ideal job. We are looking at integrating willmyphonework's API into our website and we have the user flow mapped out in wireframes right now. I don't have a timeline for when it'll be built and hit the production environment right now.

That's your opinion

Prepaids Don't have to be so Spartan, Why we're Paying an arm and leg, and Receiving WAY TOO Less?
