Bonus of 500 minutes international long distance not maintained

Lamjo7 — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 10:01:30 GMT

This is a repeated problem of Public Mobile on the 500 minute international LD call, after a complained about your activation system. In my account profile, the free add on is there. Can you ensure my dialing out internationally such as Hong Kong is connected. It only worked once I rebooted the phone. Yesterday when I placed thecall again, the prompt said: Your call cannot be completed since you have used all your available minutes. I rebooted my phone as advised last time, but it did not work.

Note: Public Mobile must reset the phone system to ensure all customers offered with this bonus can dial internationally without further hassle. Otherwise I see it a scam only to keep your customers.

Are you dialing ?

How to call Hong Kong from Canada:

011 - Canada exit code to dial first when calling international
852 - Hong Kong country code must be dialed next
011 + 852 + Local Number - Overall dialing code format

Confirm your remaining minutes in the 'my account' page in self serve.

I received the 500 international long-distance minutes offer and 2 GB of free data yesterday. Unfortunately, nothing happened after accepting this offer. I wonder if this is a scam

Do they appear in your account under data and add-ons ? They are legitimate holiday freebies from PM.

Not a scam. The More is Merrier campaign is off to a rocky start. If you haven't received the FREE gifts added to your account by end of Dec, the CSA's will help you get it added.
