I love Public Mobile because I can text as much as I want and receive FREE incoming calls. Not to mention the rewards that can literally lower your bills to $0-yes zero dollars/mo. I even created my own text emoji to celebrate! Go Public Mobile!!!

I am new to Public Mobile and it was a guest from Taiwan that got me interested. I have already saved money and have better coverage.

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!!

@hitchmanphoto  If I didn't know any better I would have thought I wrote this post. Happy to hear another escapee has reached the promised land safe from the evil overlord.

I transfered my whole family to PM a few days ago in an effort to save. PM had the perfect plan for all three of us.
And just for the ease alone of activating the SIM cards and porting all 3 numbers !! Within a few minutes I was done!!  And all 3 phones were working getting calls and texts...just for that and for the fact that I can't stand to call service anymore and wait and wait and then wait even more to finally speak to an agent that can barely understand me or I them !$&?!@$

I much much prefer SIMon 😘

I'm loving PM already 😍

PM is the BEST DEAL for RETIREES!

If you're computer savvy - signing up is a not a brain-buster.

With loyalty, referrals and not to forget about being active in the PM Community Posts whereby you receive accolades called Bravo(s),your monthly bill keeps dropping.

AND if you're not too savvy with computers...find someone who is - they can write down the steps you will have to follow to set-up/get into your account and onto the PM Community page.

YES,it's really that easy!

[pm-smayer97]

I like it when PM keeps their commitments and do not give you the run around when there is a problem.

[fibi200329]

I love sharing great deals with the people I love and since joinging Public, I have referred mutiple friends and family and we are all loving the service!! #PublicMobilePDA

[Ed404]

@THEnewfie no profanity here please and thank you 

[Dukepn]

I love the cost of this plan.  And thank you for the extra data that you let us have.  

So far this is working out great.  I hope someday I can refer someone and reduce my cost.  Thank you again

A letter to the ombudsman of Rogers 

Dear Kim,

I am a former client of Rogers , unfortunately, even after trying to resolve my billing issue, I was passed around by many representatives until the bill was finally  sent to collections.  Impacting my credit and causing hardship both financially and mentally.  The creditors continue harass even past 2 years and impossible to come to a resolution.  As a result I refuse to pay what I feel is unfair.

I found a company run by Telus and it’s called Public mobile,  when there is an issue they work quickly to resolve it even though it is all online.  They play fair.

[KFC99]

A little PDA for you, a little PDA for Public Mobile. #PublicMobilePDA

I could not find anything saying it is limited to existing customers.

Please tell me how to enter without purchase Public Mobile!

Thanks,

Ed it was from your post that I got the information.  Saying you must be an existing customer I  would say that means limited to that group

You say I need to be a customer, but you also say no purchase necessary. Do I need to have an active plan to have a chance at winning?

I could not find anything saying it is limited to existing customers. I just Googled "no purchase necessary" and found a website giving me the following details.

"In addition to indicating "no purchase necessary" in the rules themselves, contest sponsors should provide the method by which the entrant can enter without making a purchase, for example, by mailing in an entry form to the sponsor's address, often referred to as an alternate "snail mail entry." Many online contest sponsors continue to provide a snail mail entry alternative even when purchases are not required by the entrant."

Please tell me how to enter without purchase Public Mobile!

Thanks,

Ed

Love love love Public Mobile! 

I joined Public Mobile 3 months ago and everything has worked perfectly without a single problem. I even transferred my old phone number over in under 2 minutes! The flexibility of account self serve options is great.
Amazingly helpful information on the Community Forum website, which answered in detail any questions I had wondered about....so happy I switched to PM. 😊 #PublicMobilePDA

Public Mobile, the cellphone provider that lowers your monthly bill the longer you stay with them. It's one of those things where once you try it, you can never go back to what you had before.
