Don't switch yet, but instead use up the 12GB you paid for by March 15th. That's only about 400MB per day, it's easy to do!

Public Mobile (TELUS) plainly stated that there are no surprises and that nothing will change with the promotional plan. Barely a year later, there are changes to the turf of 25%.Cocopuffs43421 wrote: ↑ I doubt the CRTC will be involved, this isn't really under their purview.
But the Competition Bureau will absolutely look into this. I wouldn't make the switch and wait to see if there is restitution.

Yup. Wait it out, complain and fight. Telus just swallowed up Public Mobile three years ago, and now there are huge price increases. Competition Bureau complaints will probably be involved.

That they specifically targeted Freedom mobile customers makes this even more egregious.
Could someone please look up and archive/post the advertised plans from when we signed up? It would be useful to have (I don't have time atm)

I'm paying $36 a month to PM after loyalty and referral bonuses. I'd have to switch to Koodo just to get to $40/mo. I don't need Canada wide calling. I don't call people in any other province.
Public Mobile told me that the price would never increase. They are straight up lying.
Also they are screwing me out of a month and my fiancee out of 2 if we were to switch March 15th (she just paid a few days ago for another 3 months).
IDK what I'll do. Probably switch to Koodo if I can do it on a month-month basis, bring my own phone, and then jump ship at the next best offer.
