What happened to PM? I came here 6 months ago and was hoping for a deal so I can jump on it and now the deals are only for new customers?? Make the 30$ 1GB plan available for everyone? I'm pretty pissed right now...

This is good info. I'm in a 90 day plan. that doesn't renew until June so i'm stuck regardless.
It seemed like when i first joined the promotions for new customers were additional addons, and instead of discounted base plans.
For some reason i'm cool with that, but for whatever reason the 30/1GB for new customers rubs me the wrong way.

Probably, but not guaranteed. Leaving won't help as far as this way of doing business goes though, as all the carriers in Canada do it; though some (not PM) will bend if you complain on the phone long enough.
Best just to move to 30 days and keep your eyes open for a better deal than you have now at PM.

One of the selling points my friend told me was that, when a new deal is presented, because your signing short 30-90 day contracts, you're always eligible for them when you renew.
No; it's just for new accounts. Beginning last year PM now has promos only available to new customers. You can only get this plan by opening a new account.

I too just found out about this, and I'm disappointed in PM as well. This is typical of the big-3 providers, not what I expected here. I'm 2 months into my PM account, not as bad as the reply on the first page of this thread but still stings a bit nonetheless.

You won't be able to do a plan change, as you'll need to actually activate a new account.
That means, you'll need to purchase a new SIM, and create a brand new account. I guess the plan selector page for a new account shows a specific plan, ONLY for new activations.
Also, you can not PORT your PM number, to another PM account.. so if you don't mind losing your number, or you're willing to port to another carrier, then port back in...
The choice is yours.

You can call Zoomer Wireless. They have a non-advertised deal. $36 for 3gigs and a free phone. Their site says 2 gigs but if you call in it's 3gigs. Promotion is until the end of this month. @bilal684
I don't think zoomer is available in Quebec. Or are they?

It is my understanding that this promo was for activation at Walmart initially but is being rolled out universally. So, customers activating now should be able to get it now. It would be a goodwill measure for those who just signed up early by a day or two.

Alright thank you so much. I will try that right now and I really hope that it works and they understand

You'll be the only one left in a week, so I would hold out for the 0.5% community reward and get your service FREE!
Seriously though, I doubt that the promos will get any better than what you can find on the promo page now.
