Virgin Plus & Bell are now implementing price hikes to their existing BYOP plans, one customer said that they have got a $6/month price hike, along with Virgin Plus's $4/month hike. Rogers & Fido recently implemented the hike, but that is for non-contract customers (BYOP).

There is currently no word on Telus & Koodo's implementations, however since the two others are doing it most likely Telus is implementing it too to BYOP plans.

Glad to hear PM does minimal price increase until it is necessary. These annual increases are just too much from the big players.

@hTideGnow - Yes, that is a benefit of Public Mobile: That they never increase prices at all. That $10 50min calls, 50 texts was cheap. I would agree on the $10/30days plan, the $15 plan is also good for kids getting an phone for the first time since if they use an iPhone, they would need a couple of megabytes of data for iMessage, so 250 is good. A lot of parents have been going for the $15/30days, $24/30days & $25/30days plan.

thanks @fixin 

yes, that's why I like PM so much.  PM never really increase price for existing plans.  

Yes, there was an exception, the $10.  But I think it makes sense to increase that one.  That price really unreasonable low.  And I think for the customer, the $15 plan is much better value anyway
