Real or Scam???

MurrayGoodman — Fri, 16 May 2025 19:19:47 GMT

I have received a text message, supposedly from Public Mobile, with a limited time offer on a 4G / 6GB plan for $22 per month. This would be an upgrade from my present plan. IS THIS LEGITIMATE, or a SCAM?

Without seeing the text message, it's hard to say for sure, but Public Mobile does send these types of text messages to offer plans to existing customers. As long as the text message isn't asking for any of your information, it's likely fine.

Hello @MurrayGoodman

I received an offer similar to that yesterday myself. My offer was $20 4G 3GB. Don't worry, it's legit.

HI @MurrayGoodman

no scam. Many got text about the better offer. I got an offer in one of the lines I manage

and the price will stay, not a limited time plan. It is a limited time offer , means you need to opt in before it is gone. But once you changed to it, the price will stay

Thanks for your answer. I am more at ease, and will probably accept the offer.
