That referral code might get you a $10 credit. That might be time-limited. I don't know.

[max_boost]

is it me or that's a really really good deal

[ExtraSlow]

I think it's a good deal.

[jacky4566]

Seems like Public has a new deal every month!
that must be a new signup deal only since i can't switch to that plan.

Also is PM doing eSIM now? rumor is the new pixel 8 will be eSIM only.

[ExtraSlow]

Esim is available on public Mobile

So now that my plan has rolled over to the new cheaper Can/USA plan, and my wife is on that cheaper plan I mentioned a while back, our family of four cellphones cost us $116.55/mo after all the discounts. "Book Price" on our plans is $135/mo. Our teen often hits their 3gb data cap, but that to me a feature, since I want them off their phone more often. They can always text or [shudder] voice call [/shudder] if they really need something. Or get a job and pay for their own cellphone bill.

Not the very best I've ever heard of, but pretty damned good.

I have that kind of speed once for Freedom 5G, practically like 20m from the tower. lol.


Anyway, Telus infrastructure has been hurting last couple of years as they are forced to remove Huawei 4G gears. Especially in the rural areas.

[ExtraSlow]

Free 5g? Sort of.

Thanks, got the kids moved over to that plan. More money than before but I'm having them pay half haha.

Hah, encountering first real frustration with PM today.

Kiddo lost his cellphone somewhere around the apartment building yesterday. Seems to be turned off or on battery saver.

Think effin eversafe (telus' login system) will let me login without an OTP? I'm really frustrated today by even which alt-email I used (chromes password manager isn't helping admittedly), and why I can't have multiple plans/devices under one email. Like seriously I just need to mark it lost/stolen - it shouldn't be message customer support and wait many hours to achieve this.

[AndyL]

To save everyone else the aggravation of dealing with their CSR's. They're definitely unhelpful - insisted on my son contacting them. "My name is on the account as is my credit card, I assure you a minor is not able to give you authorization for anything". Didn't even clue in - they refused to speak to me because I was accessing them via my primary account because - couldn't log into his.

So here's the deal - accessing their selfserve from mobile you'll only get OTP verification option for some reason. However from a desktop pc, eversafe seems unhappy with letting you access another account.

So you have to go incognito mode, login to second account, via desktop - not mobile, you can select another verification option besides OTP.
