I am an existing customer. What is the difference between changing my plan immediately and changing my plan on the next renewal date? |
When changing your plan, you have 2 options: (1) change your plan immediately or (2) change on your next renewal date.
Here is the difference:
Changing your plan immediately... You may choose to change your plan immediately if you have used all or most of your services, if your account is suspended and you would like a different plan, or if you would like to get started right away on the new plan. Here are some things you should know about this option: ● There must be enough funds in your account to cover the full amount of the new plan. ● A new payment cycle starts when you activate your new plan. ● Your plan will not be prorated, which means that any days remaining in your current payment cycle will not be credited to your new plan. ● Due to system limitations, if your account is suspended, you will need to send a private message to our Moderator Team here to change your plan immediately. You will need to be signed in to the Community for the link to work. ● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change.
Changing your plan at the next renewal date… On the other hand, you may choose to change your plan on your next renewal date because it allows you to use the services you have already paid for. We recommend this option so your money can go further. Here are some things you should know about this option: ● If you choose to change your plan on your next plan renewal date, the amount owed will be automatically updated. ● If you have AutoPay set up, the amount of your new plan will be charged on your payment due date. ● You can cancel a future-dated plan change at any time by clicking on the ‘Plans and Add-Ons’ tab and selecting ‘Cancel Order’. ● Any earned Rewards will be applied on your next renewal after the plan change. |
What happens if the “$60 UL Can/US Talk & Text 8.5GB Can 3G Data with AutoPay plus 2GB US Data Roaming” plan becomes unavailable before my next plan renewal date? |
If you chose to change your plan to “$60 UL Can/US Talk & Text 8.5GB Can 3G Data with AutoPay plus 2GB US Data Roaming” on the next renewal date and the request has been submitted successfully, you will still switch to “$60 unlimited Canada/US Talk & Text” even if the promotion ends before your renewal date occurs. |

Great news PM! Absolutely, I will get this plan.

Is the 2 GB of US Data throttled too?
Edit: Also, does the weird restriction to those 6-8 area codes and prefixes apply, or has it been removed?
2nd edit: Yes the calling restriction applies.
Calls made to numbers starting with the following six digit combinations are not included in U.S. Roaming talk Add-Ons or U.S. calling from Canada and will not be completed when dialed: 712-432, 605-562, 641-552, 605-475, 605-477, 712-775, 559-726, 530-881.

Good value for money plan.

This plan might not be for everyone when it comes to price. I do wonder if this opens up an opportunity for a roaming add-on that includes u.s. roaming talk, text, and 2GB for a good price. On the bright side, I'm hoping that the roaming being included in the base plan might eliminate that incoming text messaging bug that some people run into after returning from the States.

This plan will sell for itself. Start referring more friends and make more savings:)

Thanks, PM. Interesting, a regular plan that includes roaming for those who frequently visit the US. Something new and unusual for PM. I wonder what other surprises might be in the pipeline.

Not bad if you travel to USA or call USA often. The regular 8.5 gb sells for 50$, so for 10 more you get USA calling and roaming talk text and 2gb data.
I'll probably stick to my current plan.

This is a great plan for people going to USA frequently.
It may be good for snow birds. But this plan is offered limited time only.

this is a good question, the usa data makes this deal a great one for me, but it would be good to know about the speed
