Scam or real?

Is this a legitimate text from public mobile?

Public Mobile here.

Important upcoming network changes that will impact your service.

We're enhancing our network to bring you faster, more reliable service. To make room for these upgrades, we'll begin retiring our 3G network on March 1, 2027.

After the shutdown, your device will no longer work on the Public Mobile network. To avoid service disruption, you will need to switch to TELUS.

To help you stay connected and make switching easy, we've teamed up with TELUS to offer you exclusive savings on 5G plans like 60GB for $34/mo. Plus, you can keep your current device and phone number.

Call 1-866-975-3052 or visit any TELUS store and mention promo code MBPP2P.

Legit text. All providers are preparing for the end of 3G when 3G voice calls will finally be retired

What phone do you have? If you have a phone that has VoLTE and is on PM's whitelist, or you are planning to upgrade to one, then you can stay with Public Mobile
