How to be Notified/Track new Promos?

pm-smayer97 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 20:11:09 GMT

I wanted to get some insights to know if there is a way to be notified or track when new promotions come out, whithout having to check in to the forum regularly.

Are there any ways to subscribe to the Annoucement area?

Are there any ways to subscribe to forum areas in general, vs individual threads?

Click "Announcements", then "options" in the top right corner, and then "Subscribe to RSS feed".

Just like the rest of us, check everyday, or use an RSS feed reader.

What is the frequency at which you generally see promos come out, weekly, monthly, quarterly, seasonally, in response to promos from other providers, or any insightful other clues?

In the past 2 years there have been fall promos in October. No deals for black Friday Christmas boxing day etc...

Promos have been either targeted or open to all. Are you asking because you are a pm customer or BC you are thinking of joining?

Another option might be to put an alert on red flad deals for when public mobile is in the title ( not sure if this feature exists actually, just thinking outside the box) or possibly subscribe to moble syrup

For those interested, I posted an IDEA request here:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Public-Lab/Add-ability-to-subscribe-and-receive-e-mail-notifications-for/idi-p/207657#M8937

Go add your voice for it if you are interested.

Thnking of joining...and if/once joined also want to keep track of updates, which I see there is no easy way at the moment.

Thx for those tips.

As I posted in my IDEA thread above,

"Thx. Good reference should I choose to use RSS but I am looking for a non-RSS solution, as the RSS route is more involved than I want. The underpinning infrastructure is there in this forum...it just requires the developers to link it to "Topics" too (or whatever the forum areas are called), not just

I'll hold on to this info should I decide to go the RSS route."

You know, I thought I was really stuck up about getting notices emailed or texted or posted as large ads on social media.....

....but simply taking 5 minutes everyday to look at the Announcements forum, is so dang simple, why beat a dead horse on this?

Just visit often... you won’t miss it this way.

Some people have busy lives...if I had to do that for every point of interest, I would never be off the internet...oh wait...I already am never off...

Don't need another thing I have to remind myself I have to do...

Andy checking every few days when promos might only come out every few weeks or months is a hugely inefficient....

I had a brainstorm of an idea...I created an IDEA thread in the Public Lab labeled

"Subscribe to this thread if you want to be notified when a new Public Mobile (PM) promo comes out!" found here:
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Public-Lab/Subscribe-to-this-thread-if-you-want-to-be-notified-when-a-new/idi-p/208619

If everyone subscribes to it, bookmarks it and uses it, I think this would benefit everyone. If you like the idea, please spread the word around.
