Refer a Friend and Enjoy/Save on a SIM Deal This October

J_PM — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 17:48:45 GMT

Hello Community,

October’s in full swing and we’ve got deals to make it even better. October has arrived, and we’re excited about this season!

For a limited time your friends and family can snag a physical SIM at half the price - just $5! Plus, our Refer a Friend bonus means more rewards for both of you.

Share your unique Refer A Friend code and you’ll earn a point for every month your friend stays on board. Plus, your friend gets a one-time $10 credit when using your code. Combine that with our fall deals, and everyone’s set for seasonal savings!

Here’s How it Works

Log into My Account, select ‘Account’ to review account details and your personal Refer a Friend code
Copy your personal referral link and share with your friends and family
Once the code is received, the code will automatically be applied when your friend activates using the referral link.

Note: You can purchase the discounted physical SIM from select online channels, our app, or specific store locations.

As the leaves change, so do our deals. Remember, different is always calling at Public Mobile.

- The Public Mobile Team

Orders from this Public mobile site or the app usually takes up to 10 business days to arrive. If more than 10 business days, then you can contact CSA for follow up.

@J_PM

Geez you got me all excited thinking pm was offering a extra bonus referral credit? A little extra incentive for the inevitable glitch some customers will run into with eversafe.

Has pm figured out a fix for the "locked out-exceeded maximum login attempts" and/or the " create a community nickname-name taken" issue. Some customers have been g s a t regular price $5.99+tax and free standard shopping via Canada Post (usually 5 business or less Toronto to Vancouver).

Can someone here, help me understand what this offer is??
For a limited time your friends and family can snag a physical SIM at half the price - just $5! Plus, our Refer a Friend bonus means more rewards for both of you.
Is this the offer ... 1/2 price SIM card? Or can any one get the 1/2 price SIM card?
Share your unique Refer A Friend code and you’ll earn a point for every month your friend stays on board. Plus, your friend gets a one-time $10 credit when using your code.
The above is as usual...correct? 1 point or $1 off based on what rewards you are on.
Combine that with our fall deals, and everyone’s set for seasonal savings!
Meaning current plan deals?
Here’s How it Works
Log into My Account, select ‘Account’ to review account details and your personal Refer a Friend code
Copy your personal referral link and share with your friends and family
Once the code is received, the code will automatically be applied when your friend activates using the referral link.
Code is received by the new potential customer?
Note: You can purchase the discounted physical SIM from select online channels, our app, or specific store locations.
But the new customer would have to buy ahead of time, the 1/2 price SIM card?
So is this all is what is being said......SIM cards are 1/2 off for October???
Does this help to entice a new customer that goes with eSim?
In the past both sides of the referral received $10 or $20 one time credit or the 6 x $5 credit.
Am I missing something????? And I just checked the online PM SIM cards...they are $10. So is there a coupon offer for the 1/2 off?

How does one order PM SIM cards (for $5 each) without using the PM app?

My local Telus Mobility and Koodo Mobile stores of course do not have (never have) PM SIM cards in stock.

HI @Korth_

try Amazon, it's $5

Re: Refer a Friend this October!

Justin21 — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 18:58:36 GMT

Yup you are right. Still $4.99 up to now. I see two types of sim, one sells by a small canadian business and another one says country of mexico origin

Do you think they are just the same?

Two is better than none.

I (almost) always keep a few spare PM SIM cards around. So I'm (almost) always ready to grab PM referrals.

Because I've learned that now and then Public Mobile runs a killer promo - some great deal "for new customers only" which makes me a little envious - with a tight deadline, Offer Expires This Weekend kind of thing. And when these deals happen, when hordes of new customers are suddenly attracted to Public Mobile ... PM SIM cards suddenly become utterly impossible to obtain, you won't find them in stores, you'll see people complaining that delivery times seem to be weeks, you'll people complaining that they (or their potential referral) couldn't get the PM deal in time because they couldn't obtain a PM SIM card in time.

Yes same!! They are "made" in Mexico.

The other store is likely CCS.

If you find them online at their store you will get them for $5, no get and free delivery. Just order more than once.
