I love how Public Mobile makes it easy and affordable to stay in touch with friends, whether that's via sms, data, or actual phones calls. Since I've switched to Public Mobile 8 months ago, I've called a lot more and used my phone signficantly more.

I just ported my number from another carrier for the ongoing promotion. The moderators have been really helpful in resolving the issues and answers the questions I have. There is no call center but it works just like having one.

I wish I had moved to Public Mobile sooner. Better than I could have imagined. Saving a lot, great network, supportive community. I've learned a great amount in a short period. I hope others discover this superb mobile opportunity.

The PublicMobile Twitter account told me it would only work on $25 and up plans. Is this not true?


@Ed404   As already mentioned you activate a $25+ plus plan and then change it on your next renewal and still get the 2gb data add on...that rolls over. That's actually not a bad promo in value ($60) if you only intend to be on the $15 plan after the first month. With only 250mb of data you are not a great user of data generally so the add ons could last quite a long time. If you want more freedom with your data usage and don't want to hedge your bets on what pm may or may not offer for black Friday taking advantage of the current promo with the 2gb data bonus stacked on top makes it quite attractive of an activation bonus when choosing the $40 plan. Consider this...you activate on the $40 plan w/autopay you get 5gb of data. After the $10 discount (and if it applies during activation) you pay $30+tax up front. With a referral credit of $10+$4(2×$2reward) your payment on renewal is $16. Afterwards the next 4 renewals are $28. Once you get to your 7th cycle and the $10 discount no longer applies you drop down to either the $25/$23 w/autopay and really make those 2gb add ons last or save an additional $10 drop to the $15/$13w/autopay and the 2gb should last you min. 4-6 more months if you keep to about 250mb on top of your plan data. Your first 6 months w/5gb cost $158 or $26.33+tax for $3.33 more than the reg.$25/$23w/ap and get an extra 4gb of data every month so you save the data add ons for the second 6 months. Switch to the $15 and add the $5/500min for insurance and you pay $241+tax for 12 months of service or $20+tax give or take a penny and reduced by any referral credits/rewards and community rewards you may earn. Do you hope for something better before the 30th so you get the data bonus and a possible community reward on top of a BFD or play it safe at an averaged $20 plan p/m for a year?

@Ed404 

Remember that you only have to activate in a $25+ plan. 30 days later you can be on whatever plan you want to be on and won't lose the data add-on which may come in real handy on the $15/256Mb plan.

 

That said, wish I knew there was a free 2Gb data add-on code for new accounts as my friend activated yesterday.

I just received this promo code and I'm quite disappointed that it's only valid for plans over $25. You guys are really annoying me!

@Alan_K  From the way i read the rules of the contest it is one entry per account/email. Does that mean if you have more than one account you can have more than one entry? Community? Oracles?

@ChuckYeah  I love their big wide grins....very happy, very loved dogs. Best friends forever. Nice too know my roommate's dear Carla has a community member's bf to hang with...and jealously terrorize to assert her dominance as the only princess in town!

Carla sure loved her boat rides....not too happy to be back on dry land.

Thank-you for having this contest and thank you for your business model.

With everything being increased beyond our control (internet fees, car insurance) you have kept your fees reasonable and affordable. With your contest #PublicMobilePDA you are also encouraging to share joy. Which we all need now.

i love that it's community driven. Reducing overhead costs is a great way of providing a service that's both reliable and affordable.

@AE_Collector  OMG!!! I think I just peed my pants! Thus when a name isn't just a name. That's a beauty of a collection. You would love the neighbour's phone. His roomie restores cast iron toys and dolls. I try to keep mine to hats and scarves but even the hat room is running out of room!
