Referral

Hi,

I got a text message from PM said that you will need a special code for referral starting from next week. So if my friend needs to do it(buy the sim card and join PM asap since she doesn't have a phone number now) this week can we still use the phone number to do it? Thank you.

yes, you still can use your phone # before you got the new referral code.

@mgch989 , your friend need not be concerned with when the activation is done. You are the referring party. If the referral is done before the transition to referral code, your number will be used in the referral box during activation. Once the referral code system goes live, you will get the referral code from your account and that will be entered into the activation form. It's all good either way.

@mgch989 When she activates if you have received your referral number form PM via text then give her that number otherwise just give her your number.

I have to ask, am I the only one who hasn't got this text yet to my main account?

My other account got it on the weekend.

@stonechucker

All my accounts received the text.

Did you ever reply with "unsubscribe" to any of PM's marketing texts on your main account? There are several numbers through which PM sends marketing type messages. (5129, 5130, 5131, etc.) Maybe unsubscribing from any one of those will unsubscribe from all optional texts, from any of PM's marketing numbers? I notice that not all of PM's SMS channels include the unsubscribe option (100, 611, 7626), so there could be a distinction between informational and marketing texts when it comes to subscription. Even though this particular text was more informational than promotional, I do see that there was an option to unsubscribe included and it did come via the 5131 number.

Nope. My recent account yes but not my year old main one. I have a couple referrals on the latter and none on the newer. The latter of course referred the newer.

@mimmo , I did unsubscribe... so that does explain it possibly.

@Anonymous, that’s exactly what I’m seeing. Referrals on my original, reffed my secondary, currently without referrals.

@stonechucker

First time I've been mistaken for Mimmo.

When they eventually send the referral code as promised through sms, who knows which number they'll send it through. If via a marketing number, then you may miss that, though I recall that Alan said the code would also be available in self-serve. If you'd really like to have it by text as well, you might be able to put your self back on their marketing list by texting "subscribe" to 5131. (Just until you receive it anyway, then you could always unsubscribe again.)

Oops! Sorry @SD08 ... I’ve had a problem with a lens being dislodged in my eye very recently, and I will blame that for messing up.

ive tried multiple times to subscribe, and there is never a response.

About my eye issue, I’m awaiting response from doctors for my next step.. vision issues .... grrr.
