Welcome to Public Mobile @Tiana_V .

Quick question about the add on - The 3gb will remain on the account until all of it is used up just like the 1 gb add on we have currently?

This bonus a data add-on for use within Canada. It remains in your account until it is used up or until your account is closed (whichever may come first).

Great...more flash sales and more dedicated support!!

This sale leaves me with a common question though.... How does one order the sim card today, receive it in the mail and activate the new account by Sunday?

There are ways to get an online activation done, but definitely not by ordering it through publicmobile.ca for this promotion.

Then one wonders if some form of record of the purchase of the SIM card is needed or if it really just means acquire a SIM any way possible and activate a new account. For example, sometimes retailers give the SIM card for free if you activate through them. Or, I have several spare SIM cards on hand so maybe one of them could be used to activate a new account on this promo.

It won't matter where the sim card was sourced from, as long as the sim card is valid and is activated while the promotion is active.

I can only recall of one-time that Public Mobile required members to purchase a sim card from the website for a promotion. That time, they based it on e-mail addresss, and the e-mail address used for the same card order had to be a match for that of the self serve account. Those conditions don't apply for this weekend's offer.

Are these sales getting worse? They used to be 5GB bonus and discounts. Now, no discounts and only 3GB.

Hi @cavemantoronto

I was actually thinking about it, this spring they had one with 5g for 25+ plans. Also we did have 2 gigs before too.But then holidays are coming and there will probably gonna be more and you probably want to increase goodies handed out. If you start with 5g you'll end up handing out gold bars by Xmas. I think this is a nice start

Hello! I'm not sure I understand - this is a "one-time" bonus, so you get it within 10 days of activation, let's say it's on day 10, then you have the bonus for the next 20 days until the end of your billing cycle and then it goes away?

Thanks for clarifying!

@SimplyRah

The bonus add on of 3 GB does not expire. Unused data will roll over to the next month. It is a one time data add on though. (ie. you won't get another 3G data every month)
