The new customer gets 10 AND 10? Total $20? That's a new twist.

Who are the fortunate employees who get to take a customer and a friend out to the movies? Will you be one of them? That would be fun. 🙂

Or $15. Good question. Easy enough to kinda honour when they look at activations with referrals from this morning I suppose.

I think that @popping might be asking about in-store activations and about $10 and $15 plan activations. This morning, the self serve pages did not specify any conditions.

Ok cool a nice referral promo. Thanks PM and @Alan_K for coming up with a promo that rewards the loyal customer and the new customer. Let's see if I can dig up some referrals.

So people may have jumped the gun. Would you be willing to honour todays activations using a referral before your announcement and after the blurb was put up on the self-serve (whenever that was or just simply dated today) and giving the promo bonus's.

That was a little long 🙂

That's where I think popping was going. So yes the $10 or $15 plans activated wherever.

The irony was that I was texting a couple of people who wanted me to watch for promos for them, and my phone went Emergency Calls only yet again... Seems PM doesn't want me texting others about this. I had to use my temporary emergency backup Lucky to text about Public Mobile...

@Psygineerkinda hard to promote something that isn't working all the time, isn't it? Seeing promos when the self-serve is a complete mess reminds me of the analogy "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig"

I'm actually one of them

I was sooooooooooo happy to see it

There was another announcement in the community and it didn't say anything about the plan conditions. If i knew i would have waited for the free sim promo. That was about 5 hours before the second announcement

That other "announcement" was not official like this thread. That was a fellow customer telling us all that he found that deal in the self-serve. It showed up there well before the actual official announcement.
