My favorite part is how everything in our town slows down, just a little, and people focus on different things. Like instead of work people focus on food or friends or family or outdoors.. or all of that! (Fernie BC 👍)

During the holiday season, I love spending time with family and friends. We eat delicious food, reminisce about cherished memories and play fun games together. I also go to church to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.

From browsing this PM community page, I gather these free holiday add-ons carry over to your next prepaid cycle, unlike normal add-ons that expire.

naresh78
Good Citizen / Bon Citoyen

you can keep them until they are used up fully.  

 

Add-ons can be added during activation flow and in Self-Serve portal. Free add-ons are one-time only and will fall off account when fully used.

I have a question regarding the free adds-ons. Do you keep them forever or do they disappear once they are used up?

 

Thank you,

April

Christmas is about Love. What better way to share this love with friends and family than with a call on your new Public Mobile account you just activated? Heart

My favourite part of the holidays is the general festive atmosphere. People are a lot more friendly and generous during the holiday season than the rest of the year, and it's always heart-warming to see what the holiday spirit does.

My favourite part of the holidays is being able to spend more time with my young kids (when they're off from school) and  seeing their eyes light up with delight and joy on Christmas morning when we're able to get one gift that they were hoping for. They make my heart so happy. Heart

Remembering the real reason for the season - Jesus coming to this earth as a baby so He would eventually die on the cross for our sins.

My favorite is Christmas Eve... gathering with family and friends that you haven't seen in a while and sharing a feast! Also connecting with people to spread the holiday cheer. Unfortunately tho, its hard to connect when my Public Mobile sim card suddenly just stopped working! And I cant seem to get any immediate help from customer service.
