Really wish Public Mobile would bring back the Siren Music Service. That was one of the reasons besides the price of plans that I joined before the Telus takeover ... View more

Hi, I have read some posts asking how to get their phone number. It is in add-on usage. I did not remember my phone because I use Fongo, so I don't use the PM number yet. Would it make more sense to put the phone number in Account, rather than in a hidden place in the site? ... View more

After a user puchase PM and on a plan and when a new plan that's better offer (i.e promotion) became available, the user have to give up whatever left on the current plan inorder to purchase the new and better plan before its no longer available.  Treat your current PM user better by implementing a better purchase system:   The exiting user can purchase ANY plan anytime and set its activation (or queue its activation) AFTER the current plan expired (i.e 30/60/90 days).  That way, loyal user's who's on a 90 days plan doen't have to penalize as oppose to a 30 days when a good promotion came up.   ...

When I read on how someone inquiring on how to share Data, got me thinking, What if Add-On Data can be shared amongst Family, so example, if Person A ran out of Data, Person B could siphon this amount of Add-On Data to Person A This should be an option, in my humbled opinion ... View more

I was looking at Plans, and I was like, how can PM improve it even better?   For 30 day, currently it's  1,2 and 4 GB   What if PM had 1,3,5 GB OR 1,2,3,and 5 GB   90 Day,    3,6,12 GB What if   800 MB, 3, 7, 9 and 12 GB   Some PPL call this frills, BUT sometimes CERTAIN Frills is a necessity, and since PM created the Buffet style Pick what U want and Pay, well, Perhaps this may bring some Balance, and maybe create the positive atmosphere that may help PM in the long-term   Just saying, I feel PM should always keep an open mind, sometimes the options available may entice PPL to make the switch, and maybe create new ventures PM can ride upon.   Hoping some PM Clients can at least agree to some extent   Keep the Public debating ...

if your payment is going to span from whichever date you start to the date you finish as it sort of does, then put up a calender where even if you missed your due date, you can put in the new date, especially when you want to change the plan, I know they dont change the plan when you are late, I just discovered that, but you should change that, because my bank statement shows money due, when all I wanted to do was put money on this month, but guess what, my phone is not even working,  Not everybody has money at the same time each month.  ...

Hi, Just tried to sign up but got this error on the Summary page after payment:  "Oops ... It seems that something went wrong .. Please href=" https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help" Target="_blank">email us to get your account operational. We apologize for any inconvenience." Thanks for submitting your activation request. Your request has been processed. Full details are below.   I followed the instructions to take a new number if I'm porting from koodo. The page said to "contact us" at a broken link if one was a current koodo customer. So, I am unsure if my account was created or if the payment went through. I saw this but it assumes I already have a PM account (which I don't think I do). Please help! ... View more

I was thinking, when PM finally gets the full reins of the system and have figured how to keep the glitches in check, what If PM created a SPECIAL Promo, One that requires PM Clients to compete, for 3 Special promos 1st place might get 1 Year of their plan free 2nd place, 180 days free 3rd place, 90 Days   OR,   perhaps something like this   1st place, Lets say their plan was $150 on 90 day, 50% off for 1 year 2nd place, 50% for 180 Days 3rd place, 90 Days   Just something that may serve as something that PM Clients must demonstrate certain criterias, like finding glitches and letting PM Mods know, or helping marathon, something that is meaningful, community helping and inspiring   What's your take on a potential BOLD proposal? ...

When I was looking at my Self-Serve Portal, I can say that the Rate it displayed for my 90 Day plan is possibly giving incorrect rate, and the Transaction payment history is very confusing   I think PM needs to revamp and overhaul to make much more consise and easier to understand, I was so confused I was racking my brain and the #'s don't add up   If rate for Unlim Can-US Talk+Global Txt+6 GB Data is listed at $150 how is it $101?   Just saying that I want to pay what I owe, Not OVERPAY or UNDERPAY, BUT Pay what is the actual fee   I also think the Transaction Payment history needs to be fixed, I couldn't make sense of it ...

The new layout has each of the forums sections (getting started, labs, rewards, etc.) at the bottom of the web page.  It would be more convenient to use a pop up type menu to display this instead of having to scroll to the bottom of the web page to see them.  Hovering the mouse over top of the Community Forum hot link should bring up a pop up menu of the forum sections with hot links for selection.  This will make jumping from one forum section to another easy.  This provides more visibility to the various forums.   ...

Not sure if this has been suggested yet, however a live chat system I think would be beneficial for Sales / Support.   I think the cost of running this would be relatively low compared to telephone sales/support.  As one rep can still manage multiple issues at any one given time.  Much how private message / email works now.   This would give an avenue for those that "need help now".   Which ties into my second suggestion with an automated help prioritizing system. IE: User chooses "Get Help" And after certrain troubleshooting, depending on what is selected, they can be prioritized in the live chat.  Customers who have their accts needing re-activating, or something completly not working would prioritize higher than say a customer wishing to add an add-on or has a simple question (which maybe they should be directed to community forum).   Thoughts? -William ...

personally think it is necessary the pm will updated their system. the system should minimum creating the problem for new/exiting customers. as i have seen issues in the community, some of problem it is very simple. however it is kind of common to be happen in pm system. such as payment issues,activiation etc as pm online serve everything online it makes some difficulty for people so i believe a lots of people will appreciated if pm system will not create any extra problem for people who just want a simple life when they do everything right. i strongly recommand pm will see the problems has exist.  ...

I think PM should, as part of the race to become the true alternative Prepaid player, LTE Voice, as it only helps with quality, Visual VM, perhaps even having something where PPL can send a SMS Txt via PC, perhaps even having where PPL can interact with Community via Txt system, who knows, maybe it can be useful, having a enhanced PM App, offering a 180 day cycle as well, having more Add-On Data, like 500 MB, Adding Countries to the Global L-D thing, Global Roaming, perhaps expanding the LTE Band line-up, like Band 66, or other AWS-1-4 that offer better reception, expanding the freq so that PPL maybe able to find most handsets and the gap of incompatible devices narrowed further, Offer Wi-Fi Calling, SMS Txt as well, I find that though PPL might call these frills, sometimes they're not considered frills but essential, just something to think about.   Also, I think PM Must have a section where ALL Troubleshooting stuff can be found, in one section, so PPL know where to find when searching for the cure for their device issues, perhaps this would cut down on the need for the Mods to help, and reserve the Mods for the more complicated issues   Also, PM must eventually allow where PPL can manage Multiple A/C under ONE email, to better ease, the One email per A/C is kinda stressful as it is, and would make better for PPL   PM should also offer A/C for small businesses, I think its feasible, NOT Impossible, perhaps PM should explore the option, who knows   PM should perhaps put the request a PUK Code in the Self-Serve Portal, as well as request via email or private messaging a Mod, utilizing every tool available, Twitter, FB, using YT as a mini tutorial when trying to solve simple issues, so PPL know how to dIYS and perhaps understand the process, as way of easing them into the NEW PM model of doing things ...
