Ok so I haven't seen this question asked yet:

I want to port both phones from Rogers to Public. I want to know how to avoid paying for both 3 month plans at the same time. I want to pay for mine one month, and her's another month, so I can avoid a $240 ish hit every three months. Spread out the cost. How would I do that?

Wow, this thread moves at the speed of light. I asked a few questions about referrals in the afternoon and now the discussion is like 10 pages old. I just have one last question. Each account carries one plan and so I should be able self refer on the second plan/account. Does anyone know if Public screens to see if people of with same name and address are referring each other? Do I need to put a different name on each account just in case.

Still waiting on my SIM card in Vancouver. Any updates from users in Vancouver who switched from Rogers/Fido to Public Mobile regarding differences in Network Quality?

Why would they care? I don't see any reason for them to stop it. Doesn't sound like you're taking advantage of their system... You're paying them more for a dollar off each month.

You just put in a phone number and their system automatically does everything else.

I am not trying to reason whether this make sense or not. There are a lot of things that carriers do that leave us wonder why. I am looking for confirmation. In the mean time, I found this on their community forum where it was recommended to someone in my situation to use a different name. Like many threads on the Public forum, there is no follow through where someone truly answers the question.

Funny thing is when I am looking at the PM page it says this:

"Want 4G data, talk and text for only $40/month? This 90 day plan is available only until November 20, 2016. "

Edit. Duhhh. "We’ve got you covered on Canada’s largest 4G LTE network." haha

Maybe this plan is cheaper because it doesn't include LTE.
Where do you come up with this idea. This thread would not be so active if it came with 4 gigs of crippled data.

I used to be on Public Mobile. You get full non-butchered LTE. LTE speeds are dependent upon local cell traffic. But Telus doesn't shape PM's traffic in anyway. Unlike rogers with Chatr and Mobi

Looks like there are several variants of the A5 - unless you have the A500M you're not going to be able to get LTE on Public Mobile.

If I purchase 2 plans, how do I spread out the payments to avoid paying $250ish every 3rd month? I want to pay one plan one month, the other the next.
