Again...how do you propose people take advantage of this offer when there's no way for them to get a SIM in the mail before the offer expires?

I would edit out most of How to Activate point 1 down to "You can purchase a SIM card by locating a retailer near you.

But what do I know. I'm not a highly paid marketing executive.

@esjliv : "good deal" equals solicitation 🙂 Give anybody a spare would be fine. Then you have other opportunities. But you can't say those here either.

@Anonymous - what really ?

A Good Deal can equal free.

It was a joke anyway, as I wouldn't be bothered with shipping them to anyone anyhow.

It would cost more for the stamp than what I paid for them. lol

Just an FYI, go to the nearest Shell gas station for a SIM card for $10. This is by far the quickest and most hassle-free method of getting a SIM.

@LeePublic : Of course. But the marketing department keeps on copy/pasting the same old wording of ordering one online. How would anybody get the promo in time? That's my comment. Obviously, either go to a store or have one on hand or know someone with one. But not being able to get the promo due to online ordering makes having that wording pointless.

Isn't an email registration involved? As long as it has a time/date stamp before the deadline it would qualify for the promo, even if shipping takes longer to arrive.

At least that's what PM has done before. It seemed to work, mostly. There's always a few disappointed stragglers and late arrivals who missed the boat, but that'll always happen regardless of how you implement things.
