I'd love the option to subscribe for a year to get a discount or reward. A real subscribtion that won't expire or change. It see

In the first years that Public mobile was relaunched as totally online, we asked or they introduced prepaying for 3 months for a bigger discount. We pushed for 6 months or maybe even a 1 year of prepay for steeper discount.

They did the 3 months then took it away.

Well for the last year or two Freedom Started offering to prepay for a full year for extremely steep discounts with decent amounts. They introduced it for $100. Its now 149.00 for the year. as a introductory offer.

Dont know how long they will have it. But at this point Telus in a total non competitor, in the Budget Market. If I knew about the $100 deal I would of left last year.

I dont even know if there is any point in staying even with my bonus data and international long that I earned from the past, as I will be paying more for just 1 GB of 3G data, not even 4G

Pretty cool. Thanks! If there was a roaming row with yes/no, that would totally help me. Right now I'm considering koodo once the legacy system ends
