Hi Community,
Below you’ll find our Community Terms of Service as well as some guidelines to follow when using the Community. Please read them and familiarize yourself before starting or continuing to use the Community. Following these guidelines will ensure that the Community continues to be a welcoming, collaborative, and helpful place for all of our members.
Community Guidelines
The following are general guidelines to follow when posting in the Community. These were inspired and based upon conversations the Public Mobile team has conducted with active Community members.
Be respectful and welcoming
The Community is a place for Public Mobile customers to come together and help one another out. We want everyone to have a positive experience, so please be kind to one another. Please refrain from posting anything inflammatory, lewd, harmful, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate. Remember: posts in the Community are from fellow customers who are trying to help. Please handle all interactions with respect and empathy.
Be specific
When asking questions in the Community make sure to provide as many details as you can (aside from personal identifying information). What is your issue? When did it start? Have you tried any fixes yet? What device are you using? Additionally, when answering questions be as detailed as you can and try not to repeat information that’s already been said. If you don’t know the full answer, that’s okay! Try to help as much as you can and invite others to build on it.
Be Collaborative
Everyone in the Community brings something unique to the table. Let’s focus on working together to create a positive experience for everyone. Work together to build on each other's knowledge and experience. If you disagree with someone or want to provide a correction, please do so courteously and kindly. If you’re asking questions, a great way to help build the Community up is to mark the most helpful reply to your question as the accepted solution. If you see a reply that is especially helpful and well-written, give it a ‘bravo’.
Categorize your post accordingly
Whether you have a question about your PM service, the Community itself, or your device, the Community is a great place to learn more. Try to place your question in the most relevant board so it can be easily found by others who have a similar question. Add tags to your post too to be a true Community superstar. Try to keep support-related threads on topic. Want to have an off-topic discussion about something else? The Lounge is the best spot for that.
Keep it spam-free
The Community works best when information is easy to find. Please don’t clutter threads with posts advertising third-party services or products or send private messages with advertisements. Please also refrain from sharing your referral code with others in the Community in the public forums or via private message. Additionally, if a question has already been answered, then it may not be necessary to respond as well.
Be careful
Be mindful of what you share online. Please do not include any personal information when posting in the Community, especially phone numbers, email addresses, passwords, and payment information. Additionally, always use your discretion when following advice on the Community.
