Hey Community,
Here at Public Mobile, we love the holiday season. It’s the perfect time of year to spend time with loved ones and share gifts with the people you appreciate. This holiday season, we want to show you how much we appreciate you.
On top of the free data and international calling you can get during our 3 weeks of giving (see that Community post here), we’re giving away a whole lot of Amazon gift cards!
I’m intrigued… what could I win?
One of a whole lot of Amazon gift cards - 160 to be exact.
Cha-ching! How do I get in on this contest?
Let us know in a comment below... what is your favourite part about the holiday season? Do you look forward to seeing loved ones, bundling up for outdoor winter fun, giving (or getting) gifts, or doing nothing at all? We want to hear what makes this time of the year special for you. Once you comment, you’ll be entered into a random draw to win one of our prizes.
When and how will I know if I won?
Make sure to enter before December 25th 11:59PM ET for your chance to win. All the winners will be selected and contacted via private message the week of January 7th 2020. This Community post will also be updated with a list of the winners. A little way to start your year off right.
Happy Holidays! We can’t wait to hear from you!

Looking at Xmas lights & decorations everywhere makes the holiday season magical for me every time it arrives!
12-05-2019 03:54 PM
I love Christmas for all traditions, big and small, that help to draw my family, friends, and neighbors together in a way that doesn't happen any other year! Santa pancakes, Secret Santa gifts delivered to neighbors, Project Christmas Child, non-perishable food towers at the kid's schools, white elephant parties, the little kid Nativity at church, Carolling around the neighborhood, Christmas carol festivals and concerts - I enjoy the little kindergarten and junior high band ones all the way up to the city symphony and ballet - finding the "pickle" hidden in the Christmas tree, cookie decorating, eggnog and hot chocolate, looking at Christmas lights at the zoo, making gingerbread houses.... It's just a happy, giving time that I love!

My favourite part of the holiday season is having my son come to visit my husband and me and spending some quiet time enjoying our little family for as long as possible. I also love calling my siblings to catch up on their busy lives too.

Staying indoors, out of the cold, next to the fireplace, with some Kokanee's in hand!

My favorite thing about christmas is going to hawaii and snorkeling in warm water. I love seeing all the creatures in the ocean from turtles to dolphins to whales to crabs and nudibranchs.

My faviorate part about the holidays is not get spammed by a promo that should have been applied to everybody without an interaction. Also, you know that the promo will generate high traffic on the self service and still you didn't scale it up to handle the load.
Good job PM!!!!
12-05-2019 03:47 PM

My favorite part of the holiday season is hiding away in our warm basement binge watching old TV series on christmas day and eating all the goodies from our stockings. I also love bring out treasured christmas ornaments that remind me of family that is no longer with us.
