Why YES!  I do LOVE PUBLIC MOBILE!

 

#PublicMobilePDA  

 

I love Public so much that I made my boyfriend switch from a Dog-Branded Cell Phone company to one that doesn't harras you with new plans, bad service, and bankrupting monthly bills, roaming charges and fees. It's a do-it-yourself type of cell phone company... but gosh darn it, they give me perks and they let me pre-pay quarterly.  No more missed bill payments and No more Dog Cell Phone service!!

When I first signed up to PM on the Fall 2016 promo, I was expecting my monthly cost to be $40, but now it's free because of various rewards. What's not to like about that?  Smiley Happy

Alan informed us earlier that posting on Twitter on Instagram isn't necessary. I had no desire to go on Twitter to make a tweet, although I understand that people talking about Public Mobile on social media is likely one of the motivations behind this promotional contest.

I'm grateful that Public Mobile has added more and more value to my declining phone bill over the past couple of years.

Hi @shartomjam, just to clarify, having a Twitter or Instagram account isn't a mandatory requirement to enter the contest - just posting as a reply here counts as an entry 🙂

 

For the digital adboards, Twitter or Instagram posts are preferred, which was why we mentioned those options.

Ohhhhh!!! Well count me in then.

I don't use any of those now-not-so-new-fangled social network thingies.

 

Public Mobile is the best. It's Telus. The rates got me here. The rewards keep me here. It just keeps on tickin'.

Thank you.

I wasn't going to bother with Twitter or Instagram,  so I'll reply just to submit an entry.

 

Public Mobile is about saving money. The reward discounts provide a good way to do that.

Moving back to Canada, finding the right mobile carrier was my #1 priority. After some research, Public Mobile was the one for me. Perfect price, service, and data for all my needs! The loyalty rewards that lower your bill are a huge plus! Couldn't be happier! #PublicMobilePDA

I love PM because you don't need to waste half a day to call your service provider. Everything can be done online and if there are issues, which I haven't had, you can go online and get very quick responses to solve them. Any questions can be answered online and the response time is very short.

There is no connection fee, no surprise bill payment, and there are no hidden fees; you get what  you pay for. I also love the loyalty fees that help reduce the monthly bill.

With my 50.00 plan, I no longer worry about data charges due to overusage and this is especially great when I am at the cottage for the summer.

Thanks PM for your wonderful, affordable plans and service. 😁

I love PM because you can do everything online by yourself.  You don't need to waste half a day to call the call center. There is no connection fee, no surprise bill payment, no hidden fee.You get what  you pay for. No lie no scam. And that's the only network company truly rewards their loyalty customers. I am really happy found PM.

Public Mobile... more affordable than my children.

 

Public Mobile... someone who'd win more seats in the Federal Election that the Green Party.... what... too soon?

 

And finally....

 

Years ago when I was backpacking through western Europe I was just outside Barcelona hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo, I was at the end of this path and I came to a clearing, there was a very secluded lake and there were tall trees all around, it was dead silent and across the lake I saw a beautiful woman but she was crying... she wimpered that she didn't have cellphone reception. So I gave her my Public Mobile phone because it had crystal clear reception to call home. True Story. The End. #PublicMobilePDA


Then you woke up and remembered PM doesn't have International roaming packages outside of the US!!  Should have made the story somewhere in Canada where Rogers doesn't get service but PM does
