Public Mobile in Vancouver

darlicious — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 13:48:07 GMT

I was curious today after reading a post about calling public mobile so I decided to Google public mobile to see what came up. I was surprised by what came up. I also checked the pm store locator to see that the address matched a retail location listed. Interesting....comments?

@darlicious Vancouver is a big city. Can't be that few stores. Those could be only kiosks.

Interesting!!!!?

Are they gonna sell equipment now????

I don't think there is a need for a store just for sim cards.

Do a whois on the domain name and see who owns those urls.

@darlicious I believe those stores are in addition to the LDs, Walmarts, and Wow mobile stores? Does anyone know if the kiosks/stores actually provide us with in-person service, or they simply help us by making online inquiries to moderators?

Public Mobile does not provide in-store customer support. While Public Mobile kiosks are corporately owned, Public Mobile has stated that even these are not there for support issues. These places provide sales and activation services.

@computergeek541 You are barking up the right tree. @pmmobile has a sniff but can't quite find the scent trail. @Anonymous has the Mac out, cap on and pipe topped up just needs to use his magnifying glass if he is so inclined @kselmak is curious but is really just helping @cavemantoronto prove my point.

I have seen the Public Mobile bus stop advertisements here and there around a Greater Vancouver. Saw a couple in Coquitlam and one is Tsawwassen awhile ago.

@darlicious Are you suggesting PM may be looking to attract potential customers with retail locations (Telus, Wireless Wave) that offer cell phones, accessories, and service for sale?

@darlicious Ok, maybe you ought to let us all know what you're getting at..... appears to be nothing more than some cell phone store that also happens to sell Public Mobile stuff, which, by all accounts, is SIMs and services...... you think there's something more afoot here? 🤔

Re: Public Mobile in Vancouver

darlicious — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 02:13:52 GMT

@CannonFodder Now what's the point of a little mystery if I just pulled the cat out of the bag? I could of just done that on the original post. Where's the fun in that? I left some clues.....if you want the solution you'll have to work for it.

@AE_Collector You've correctly identified that part of the website.

Alright folks...being that it's New Years Eve and the community is a littl slow I thought I would provide a " riddle wrapped in a mystery inside of an enigma" but perhaps there is a key to this puzzle.... @Anonymous was onto it. @AE_Collector identified parts of it. @pmmobile wants to find it. @kselmak and @cavemantoronto are proving my point of it. @CannonFodder wants none of it. @computergeek541 can easily get to the bottom of it. I'm going to invite @Ed404 , @ChuckYeah , @popping , @will13am , @Dunkman , @geopublic @hairbag1 and @Dunkgirl to join in to see if they get the point of one more solution at months end.

You are correct - got zero interest in unraveling your puzzle..... thought you had something to say, and didn't know what that was, so I'll just skip to the solution, whenever it shows up. 🙄

@CannonFodder No worries. Or as the australians say " No wuckin furries." Im just having a little fun and i think public mobile might have something to say....

You say that as though you KNOW something that the rest of us don't, but based on the pics you included, I don't see anything of much interest..... but I guess you'll get around to spillin' the beans...... carry on..... 😜

Intresting! Seems like a "Less for Less" dedicated business that decided to change their store/business name to Public Mobile at least on Google?

Re: Public Mobile in Vancouver

business.site is a product of Google offering websites. An outfit called cellfixx has a site with them and decided to make one of their links be called publicmobileca where I guess apparently they're an authorized retailer for PM.

I would tend to doubt this is a PM entity. PM may very well be interested to know that they're "trading" on many images of PM. Interesting that cellfixx.ca is all "redacted for privacy" in whois.

telus.com and publicmobile.ca have telus written all over them.

I still have no clue why this all had to happen and however the heck it became some big mystery. Do you own and operate cellfixx? Are you self-promoting?

Yes, looks like that business used Google website generator (https://www.google.com/intl/en_ca/business/website-builder/) to auto generate a website we all see. However, i do not think its legal to call themselves "Public Mobile" store.
