Ever since my roommate convinced me to switch to public mobile I've been saving over 70% from my previous provider. I can't believe I waited so long!
#PublicMobilePDA I miss the great times with my best friend but I can share the memories!
#PublicMobilePDA
I'm LOV'IN Public Mobile 
It's a photo I posted to my Instagram last week, but here's my lovely autumn walk the other day.
Cheers everyone.

This promo code that madhi19 recieved is infact for new customers to use when activating. If you're already a PM customer, the contest on the Community is where you can share a post about something you love (not just PM, although we do appreciate the love
) and be entered for a chance to win a year of service!
@Tiana_V, in the announcement it stated we could post to twitter or instagram
How does this work?

That is where I posted and put a link to that post in this thread. I also received the 2GB offer for new activations which to me didn't make sense. Why would an existing customer activate a new account
To be eligible, an entrant must be an existing Public Mobile customer and entry must be received on or before end of contest closing date and time.
Do I need to edit my post in this thread to include what I posted on Twitter to be entered into the contest for existing customers?
With #PublicMobilePDA I am able to send picture messages to my family and friends of this handsome little man. Since my family and friends don't get to see him often. I have referred PM to 3 family members and they love them. Plans are cheap and very affordable. The data is just crazy outrageously cheap. I love everything about PM

This is valid until November 30th. We will follow up on November 23rd with a photo of your message in case you missed it!
Anybody want to explain that part? Is it a newcomer promo or can I claim the code on my existing account?
Seriously? You win here but only a new activation can use it?!
Yeah.
Congrats though.
@Alan_K and @Tiana_V Seriously?!! Public Mobiles contest rules clearly state you have to be a customer to qualify for the contest. Post or tweet what you love love about Public Mobile and the community? How many non Public Mobile customers are going to do this? Maybe @Ed404 but even hes looking for a better promo than that especially since @Tiana_V has hinted around that the black friday one should be intriguingly good. Cmon you can do better than this...which comes across a bit like a slap in the face. At least make it equally beneficial ie. Get 2gb data for the price for the price of 1gb! Customers might actually take you up on that kind of deal. Half sale and half win /win for the customer
