Promos - New Activations Only???

[TimeRunz]

I just read a tweet of Mobi's CEO, and it appears that existing customers CAN take advantage of the promo... on their due date (or at least that's how I read it).

EDIT: It seems bluenote73 has already addressed this in the other thread.

The way Lyons worded it is very ambigious. I guess until we hear a success story, we'll just have to settle on the fact that these are only for new activations.

Except here you can leave and join anytime. You can port out to chatr and port back in

From what I understand..if you keep your phone number and port both ways...they won't give you a better rate or your old promo rate just to punish you for leaving in the first place.
Remember the uproar years back when the big wouldn't allow a subscriber to port their number?
I think Mobilicity is really looking foolish by exercising this additional policy as well.....

Mobilicity frees Canadian cellular smartphone users - or at least - till one of the big 3 gobbles them up!

I think they recognize that sometimes the hassle of changing plans will just prevent you from taking action. They are counting on this to minimize churn. I agree that tactic leaves a bitter taste. I disagree with xtachx's suggestion to port out and port back in. It costs money as well as time. That would be like going to one merchant who says go across the street and shop then come back here I will price match it.

At least you see my points....like I said ...if treated differently....I might just stay if more competition comes in and are just as competitive...ala Wind...
But I'm still with Mobilicity......

Either that, but I think its effects of him and wacky tobaccy and it means nothing.

I'm going to try getting my GF on it, she's on the $40 F&F plan, I believe with $2 PAC discount, we'll see how dropping it 50 cents goes. I'll try regular CSR first, if that doesn't work, email Sheryl. Hopefully regular CSR will do it.

Please elighten us if it works cause Stewart Lyons Twitter remarks posted just makes him looks like a Twit type of blogger....Haha..

For 82 cents/month its not worth going the hassle.

@bluenote73 everything starts anew for every customer on their due date each month:-)

I interpreted the tweet as meaning a change to a different (current) plan effective the beginning of the next billing cycle would not be a problem.

To confirm I called CS today and asked if I could switch from my $40 FnF to the 37.50 effective my next billing cycle, the CSR was unequivocal that I could. He volunteered I could in fact make the change immediately. He also confirmed that I would retain my existing $2 PAC discount if I stayed on PAC.

Much ado about nothing, it seems.

Thanks PJ. Where were you when this place was a river of tears ..

I dunno some other dude is hassling him on Twitter too, be he isn't getting a decisive answer from him either...being a CEO and giving an indecisive answer for a company...well that job must just suck...

For the 30 roaming minutes it is though...

Exactly. I'd never have to put money in my My Wallet ever again.

For the 30 mins roaming, do they just drop your call if you go over? And are we able to roam within the city now or Mobi still restricts that?

I agree that the 30 min roaming is worth the hassle to switch while paying less. Its only not worth it to switch if you have BIS included in your plan for no extra charge.
