This would be My version of a complete, fairly priced, unbiased, unprejeduced, fair. The same chances We all have in Life: 50/50 Lets get started: Days Plans to start 7 Day: $3 30 Day: $8 60 Day: $15 90 Day: $22 Talk Plans Province-wide: $15 Canada-wide: $20  Txt Plans Province-wide Txt: $3 Canada-Wide Txt: $7  Global Txt: $13 Data Plans: 250 mb: $4 500 mb: $8 800 mb: $13 1 Gig: $16 1.5 Gig: $20 2 Gig: $25 3 Gig: $33 3.5 Gig: $37 4 Gig: $44   Add-Ons: 400 US Minutes: $9 600 International Minutes: $14 500 MB Data Add-On: $13 1 Gig Data Add-On: $23 2 Gig Data Add-On: $33 3 Gig Data Add-On: $44   Reward Options: Bundle 2: $7 Bundle 3: $15 Bundle 3 + Add-On: $15 & Additional $5 off Autopay Registration: $3 Loyalty Pays: 12 Months: $2 After 5 yrs, $10 Cap Community Imput: $5 for every 5 Solutions Successfully applied Cannot Have more than what your Paying.   If they were to offer Roaming, for example, here's my thought:   US TK: $15 for 500 Mins US Txt: $10 for 500 Txt $25 for 1Gig   Bundled in combo, get $5 for 2 Bundle, $10 for 3 Bundle. Something that's fair, balanced   So, For Roaming for example, We Shop for prefixed mins, Txts and Data that either expires after 30 days or Never Expires, remains till used up and refilled like a gas tank in a car.   For SMS Premium Messaging Short Codes, The Wallet would prove to be the only Logical answer, to keep up W. Prepaid   Separate Wallet specifically for THIS service. Called the Code Tank, Or Short Wallet, example Also, PPL would have to sign up in the Self Serve for this feature, agreeing to ALL TOU, TOS, Legal stuff Once that is done, and Special Wallet is packed with $$$, You receive Short Codes as long as $$$ is in system, enough $$$ to cover When reaching $2-$5 point, receive txt from PM about Wallet reaching depletion If No $$$ added, Service is Suspended, similar to How Our plans expire if we don't top up at the Midnight of 30 day. Besides, If PPL don't register their happily Beloved Phones # to Co. They can't even receive, so Its also a Volunteer thing, which is awesome   Got the Idea from Public Mobile CDMA Era, in regards to Wallet for the Roaming aspect. New Public Mobile should really look into this, as This was an Ingenius Idea, Unique, Helpful, Useful. Plus, hoping we see return of other functions, like 411 and other services, like Post-paid, Just remove the Post, and Hammer in the Pre. Yes. PM would be the Heaven of all Carriers, and That's what I hope to see in the brighter future   Public Mobile needs to seriously take this into account, when and once the timing is ripe, Personally I would prefer all these services like this. Postpaid, Begone. You belong with the dinosaur. Prepaid is the New Future. I would bet my Phone on it. Postpaid features, under the Prepaid banner, where you pay for your mins and other stuff in advance, already preset, NO Worries of accidental problems. Worry-free. Please, I really am dying for this type of service. Priced right, and presented right, This can demonstrate the effectiveness of such an important tool, Special Short Code Wallet, Preset Mins, Preset Txts and Data for Out-Of-Canada usage, in US, or Cuba, or anywhere around the Globe. The world is Ours to discover.  Example: PPL who work for a little co. or work as medical PPL in US, or Abroad, Having too many sims to worry is not a fun job, misplace Sims can happen, wear and tear every time you swap sims, almost like we spend a % of our time opening and closing the Phone's cover story + otter box, which is tiring, unsettling at times, inconvenient, I'd Pay for the Convenience, My Preference of course.   This would at least offer some sort of flexibility for Clients who want the conveniences of all-in-one- super center like carrier, + allowing Clients who want the option of buying their Sims from countries they go to visit. That would be My take on a No-Frills, Have-it anyway you wish, I would happily pay for the convenience, as long as the price wasn't super steep, like $100 for all that on top of our Rate plans. Plus, If PM did offer something similar to what I presented, Hopefully Us ol' grandfolks can benefit from this w/o having to make Da switch, unless necessary, then I would BE More than Happy to Switch, for if PM brought ALL THESE BACK, I would feel like I won Lotto Max, $50 Million   Plus, W. Short Codes, PPL like Truck drivers can check important weather reports, or News bullitons, plus PPL who want to catch up on Movies, Cineplex Short Codes offers such presents from time to time, or Free coffee and food from 7-11, Let the Customer have the option to have full options on DA Table. Just my Opinion. Not sure others agree, But, I at least would love to see the benefits of such services being rendered from a Prepaid carrier. I could Love it, or Hate it, but at least the option exists.   Please forgive my long submits, I'm just super-excited, and really am hoping for these services. Seeing other carriers having them Makes me JEALOUS.    Plans for Parents's children for Emergencies Affordable, basic plans for their kids when they're at school, for emergencies, something that is straightforward, just texting and calling, no data, and giving Parents the tools as to who their kids are allowed to call, something that gives parents some leeway, so that their kids only use the phone for contacting their parents, or what their parents/legal guardians would approve, that way, avoiding things that happen. So, for example, Parents who pick PM for their kids, they can set up accounts where they can text, just no photo texting, an option where parents can choose which numbers their kids can call, and what numbers they do not want them to call, something that gives parents piece of mind, so kids know that phones aren't toys or things that you can use and do things that can have legal ramifications. This would probably be the first of its kind This would be the most sense, and realistic, No Hassles, No Nonsense, Straight Talk and Txt to what parents approve Only Plus, Parents do look for the most flexible Carriers. PM should create such thing, giving parents the power to determine what their children can do, so if no data, no data, no txt, no txt, only calls to Parent-approved list as well as emergency response, yes, this would put the decision power making into hands of parents/legal guardians. Yes, Definitely an essential   Expanding the International Calling list beyond the 18 listed, to create Zee List that will bring in PPL who have family in other countries around the globe.Like every country in existence, or Most of them at least   Public Mobile should also consider bringing in Plastic, Reloadable Voucers. Like, Buy Plastic Voucher, Register Once, and reload on a need to top basis, as paper recipt vouchers are very easy to misplace, cannot be replaced, and also bad for the environment. Also, perhaps expaning location of where PPL can buy Vouchers from. 7-11, Loblows, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Future Shop and perhaps Koo stores, to help balance out Voucher locations and making easier search. As it is right now, Its more like an easter egg hunt. Plus, this would remove human footprint in chopping trees for a recipt. Think Green   Implementing a Days remaining till plan Goes to Sleep, acting as a reminder to top before we Hop   Reuseable Sims & NFC Sims, Phones do have Near Fiel Comm these days, lets get up to date.   Public Mobile should offer Promotions on Plans and Add-Ons from time to time, like Back-2-School, Christmas, Valentine's, something that would knock the socks off the Client, and demonstrate that No One is Better Than Public Mobile   Should be considered as another tool, PM's IMEI tester isn't always reliable, so a second opinion is always good. http://www.willmyphonework.net/   Here's a major issue that PPL have difficulty comprehending: When you change plans in middle of cycle, you pay in full and such. What PM should do, is if you bought 4 Gigs, run out, and wish to buy more, allowing PPL to do so w/o necessarily changing the billing cycle, or let's say upgrading from Province-wide to Canada-Wide, just Paying the difference, but capping it where if you change before the half-way point of the 30 day, you pay the difference and retain your billing date.   Here's an Idea that Strokes the Heartstrings: Donation, even a little bit, towards Things like Fighting Poverty, Hunger, Children's Sports, Sick Kids, Homelessness, Something that can make a Difference and Bring a Smile to a Child in Need, The Little things that Do Matter, Even helping those with Depression, Cancer, That would bring out The Humanity within All Public Mobile Clientele, and Tell all Canadiens, We Care   I had to say this, as this maybe the most riskiest idea I submitted. But, As the changes are revolutionary, so must the offers and other stuff. Public Mobile should actually consider a truly revolutionary offer to New Clients: The first 7 days, you can try and see if you are happy W. the service. If, for some reason you're not 100% Satisfied, PM will OFFER a refund of what remaining bal you have, minus the days you used so far. Just to entice PPL to at least try and see if they can adapt to the changes. Something that reduces major risks, and creates the warm atmosphere of understanding. This can certainly go along way in smoothing out the differences.   Here's a most important Idea: PM posting most popular troushooting tips, hints, and having visual aid so PPL can fully comprehend what issue is, and how to correct it. Would save PPL time and enegy plus reducing stress if Phone sort of whacks out, and needs to be whacked back into line so we have service as best as possible   Here's another thought Idea: Like Xmas, Valentine's, Easter, or even Birthdays, Offering something like free add-on, or Movie Promo, something that keeps the Client more focused on Staying Loyal to a Carrier like PM   PM should consider somethings like having a Family Linked Customize plans, Business Customize Plans, offering flexible ways to get plans for family, for one's small business, this can go a long way to having a wide range of clientele.  Once PM settles in, nice and snug, perhaps expanding the range of services, like offering Data Sticks, so if PPL want Data for their Laptops, PM has a Data stick that's mobile for Laptops too. And of course, once PM has finally grown a bit and becomes grand, perhaps offering some services beyond Prepaid, like a Prepaid Month-Month, some Prepaid/Postpaid hybred, something that will redefine what you pay for, plus added flexibility   Here's another thought, something to help PM Clients out: As purchasing Handsets is an strenuous and stressful task, essentially its impossible to buy a handset unless you're a client of theirs, and Prepaid phones from Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Future Shop is moaning and groaning, why NOT PM reopen Online store so PM Clients can order a Handset from PM? PM stating that WE do not stock on handsets so we can keep our awesome prices competitively priced a bit lower than our competition, capping prices at $500 before taxes, and PM only orders handsets on a per Client order basis, Phones PM orders for Client arrives at PM for inspection, programming, and afterwards shipped w. a Sim Card and a Welcome package from PM to the Client. Something to help so the client can have another source of alternatives to look when on the hunt for handsets. If PM did this, I would at least have a source to get my handsets so that I can continue being PM's Client.   I truly wish Public Mobile can eventually reconsider: Reviving the Siren Music App, but Better, Improved, Ready for the Nxt-Gen of Clientele who would enjoy listening to the hottest tunes. Also, Public Mobile should also reconsider remaking an PM App for our handsets, a Quick and seamless self-serve app to enable PM consumers to have access to their A/C 24/7. To Top Up, Renew Plans, Pay Voucers, something to enhance the user experience   PM should have this translation tool, as there are ppl like me who can't read French, but wish to help others so that ppl can enjoy their services and have a wonderful day in the end.     ...

Hi. Though I understand the importance of fairness to the new clientele in regards to rewards and other perks, I wish PM could offer something for Ol Grandpa's like us, who at least attempt to give the community our all. Like, for every 5 solutions or something, perhaps 5-10% off Add-Ons, something nice, nothing too rich like what new plans get, of course, they deserve the special offers, but at least something to the ol' planers like us who will always have PM's back, no matter what. ...

Hi. Public Mobile should Post The AWS Frequencies PM Network supports, so Clients, new and current, can quickly do comparisons when on the Hunt for the next big SmartPhone, PPL are encountering some issues about frequency compatabilities, and I believe that by posting the spectrum fully, can reduce stressful, exhausting and eye straining research to ensure Phones brands they choose support specific spectrums, 3G/HSPA/HSPA+4G Lets make it happen.  ...

Hi. I discovered that International Texting + Photo is Nolonger Available. Time for Idea to Rectify this, And Make Public Mobile Grrreeeeeaaaaaaatttt. Plus, Public Mobile should consider expanding the List of Countries Public Mobile Clients can call.

I think Public Mobile needs to offer and utilize all of their resources more effectively. FB, Twitter, for example, this should be used as another form of communications. Feels like PM is relying too much on this Community, which is not bad, but PM needs to expand the scope, to ensure speedier results. Also, PM should from time to time, offer new info via YT, this way we can also hear directly, from our PM team directly to the customer. Plus, for troubleshooting tips, hints, YT can serve as a step-by-step method in educating PPL on how to keep their phones in optimal operating condition. Thanks ... View more

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! ...
