FLASH SALE! From September 15 to 16 - Get a SIM + your next 30 days of service for $0 in-store!

Hey Community,

Effective September 15, 2018 until September 16, 2018 at 11:59PM ET, we are offering a SIM card and your next 30 days for $0 when you activate a 30-day plan in-store! This will be applied as an account credit and the offer is available to new customers only.

How to Get this Offer:

30 Days for $0: When you activate a Public Mobile SIM card in-store on a 30-day plan from September 15 to September 16, 2018, you will get your next 30 days of service for $0!

The credit value that you will receive will be equal to the price of the rate plan on which you activated your SIM card. This credit will cover the rate plan cost only. It will not cover additional costs such as Add-Ons.
Eligible customers will be credited the 30-day rate plan amount within 72 hours. These credits will count towards your next plan renewal.
For example, if you sign up on our current $35 for 1GB at 3G speed, Unlimited Canada-wide Talk and Unlimited International Text 30-day plan, your account will be credited $35 within 72 hours of activating.
Eligible customers will receive a confirmation text message shortly after the credit has been applied to your account. These details can also be found by signing in to your Self-Serve account.
You will not need to top-up your account at your first renewal date, unless you purchase Add-Ons, change or future-date your plan to a more expensive plan during the first 30 days. Note that, if you have registered for AutoPay, you will continue to receive your $2 AutoPay reward every 30 days. All Reward rules, which can be found at publicmobile.ca/rewardrules, apply.

$0 SIM Card: SIM cards will be $0 when you activate in-store only.

Hi. Was just wondering if there is a list of stores by location? I am in Quebec City and looking to head in somewhere over the weekend.

Thanks very much.

Good deal! But what about those of us who are already signed up? Should run a free 1/2/5gb (PM’s choice) data for a month free for those who have current 30 day plans... I know I would welcome this!

This I agree with. I started here in May. Next thing I see are promo's popping up. Hey what about me!? I just got here! I think there should be like a 30 day price protection for fresh customers for you to switch plans if you would otherwise have preferred a new plan. The promos at the time were just for new customers. That sucked. PM did a nice goodwill for me though so that was nice. They obviously had no obligation to but it was nice.

Would this work with the $10 plan?

@Anonymous, if you want to get this, port to another provider, then rejoin at Walmart or London Drugs or One of the other partners.

Nothing stopping you, other than it’s like doing the triple jump instead of the long jump at a track meet.

If your current plan is now appearing cheaper on the promos or in-market plan builder, future date a plan change. There’s nothing stopping you from getting the better deal. If it’s available, schedule a plan change. Lock it it in, set it up, forget it.

MadMardigan — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 12:21:32 GMT

That is all well and good except ...

i am not with PM yet as I ordered online and haven’t received the sim’s yet.

Walmart is 1.25 hours away and London drugs is 45 minutes away 😢

So ... burn $30 in gas and have to buy lunch for my wife so I can save $80.

I would also have 2 extra sim’s that look pretty.

🤣

@MadMardigan, such a pessimistic look at it. Think of spending a lovely day with your wife, and the fact that you can refer some friends with your two SIMs, or hold them as backups Incase you need them.

I just ordered, and received two SIMs, but I’m thinking of walking 75 minutes to get to Walmart to get this deal to activate a test plan to see if I really want to switch off my current plan, to a throttled LTE 30 day plan.

Sure I’ve spent $20 + local taxes on the sims, but they’re future referrals when a smoking good deal comes along for new online activations.

Make life about enjoying the opportunities, instead of seeing only the down sides.

Have to buy your wife lunch anyway. And better you do the shopping for a SIM card at London drugs than she to the shopping at the mall.

keep the two sims you get mailed for future promos. Or for friends/referrals. I use to give away pm sims in exchange for a referral because if they stay 5 months I’ve made my money back. Some have stayed almost 24 months. Or when there is referral bonuses like $10-$25

MadMardigan — Sat, 15 Sep 2018 12:45:05 GMT

Excellent suggestions!!!

I do need to get groceries and the stores around London drugs have some great deals!

Walmart on the other hand is where I should go because my wife was suppose to go shopping there yesterday.

Road trip!!!

Thanx everyone!

Doesn't apply to me since I'm already with PM, but hypothetically couldn't someone sign up for the most expensive plan for the first month to get it for free, then downgrade the next month?
