Hey Community,

Effective September 7, 2019 until September 8, 2019 at 11:59PM ET, we are offering your next 30 days for $0 when you activate on a $25/mo plan or higher online and in-store at participating retailers! This will be applied as an account credit and the offer is available to new customers only.

How to Get this Offer:

• 30 Days for $0: When you activate a Public Mobile SIM card online or in-store at a participating retailer on a $25/mo plan or higher from September 7 until September 8 2019, you will get your next 30 days of service for $0!
  • Participating retailers include:
    • Walmart
    • London Drugs
    • The Mobile Shop
    • WOW! mobile boutique
    • Select Koodo Authorized Dealers
  • The credit value that you will receive will be equal to the price of the rate plan on which you activated your SIM card. This credit will cover the rate plan cost only. It will not cover additional costs such as Add-Ons.
  • Eligible customers will be credited the 30-day rate plan amount within 7 business days. These credits will count towards your next plan renewal.
  • For example, if you sign up on our current $35 for 1 GB at 3G speed, Unlimited Canada-wide Talk and Unlimited International Text 30-day plan, your account will be credited $35 within 7 business days of activating.
  • You will not need to top-up your account at your first renewal date, unless you purchase Add-Ons, change or future-date your plan to a more expensive plan during the first 30 days. Note that, if you have registered for AutoPay, you will continue to receive your $2 AutoPay reward every 30 days. All Reward rules, which can be found atca/rewardrules, apply.

If you've activated a $25/mo plan or higher, you will automatically be credited an amount equal to your rate plan within 7 days in your account. No need to do anything but wait and then check your account balance.

If I had a SIM card I'd activate it today but I need to order one online and it won't arrive before the promotion ends. Does that mean I can't take advantage of this promotion?

You missed this flash sale, but you might consider getting a PM SIM now for future promos, so you'll be ready next time.

All you really need is a SIM card number, not the actual SIM card.  I keep meaning to buy a couple of spare SIM cards so that I can give the number to someone in this predicament via messenger. Then the card needs to be mailed to the person.  Presumably providing this service might be worth getting the referal perk from the person and possibly the cost of the card back since they will get a $10 referal credit as well. Maybe someone has a spare SIM that will help you out today?

That is correct.  You need to activate a SIM card by tomorrow midnight to get this promotion.  Do you live near one of the vendors?  Walmart, Mobile shop (Loblaw), London drugs, WOW mobile, some authorized Koodo dealers.

So if you signed up for this deal and set up autopay, would you also get the $2 autopay credit for the first month? Even though the first month didn't actually cost you anything.

@kelvarnsen It's not the first month that's free but the second month.  You have to pay for the 1st month to activate, then PM will give you credit equal to the next month within 7 days.  And yes, if you activate with autopay, you will get the autopay reward for the first month in the form of $2 in available balance.

I just signed up (just after midnight, Sep 7).
I used a refferal code (10$ was not yet applied)
and the RBC checkout code (that worked fine)
Is there anything i need to do to get the FLASH SALE (as it says it is stackable) or will it, and the $10 refferal be applied within 3-7 business days with no action?

---

It's automatic.  You'll be credited for 30 days of plan fees within 7 business days.  The $10 for being referred will be in your account within 3 days.

That's only because this promotional was originally going to be an in-store only promotion. When it's online or in-store, that means activation can be from any activation channel.

Ok cool....in that case " Go Mobile Repair" on West Broadway near Cambie in Vancouver. Open Saturday 10 - 6. Closed Sunday. They offer a free SIM card with in store activation and the purchase of a plan. They have used phones with good warranties. Check them out online. Don't know them, never been there (want to though) not affiliated with them at all but they're 3 blocks from London drugs and I'm pretty sure they won't screw it up like London drugs has already. Go little guy!

It really doesn't matter when it says in-store OR online. Sometimes these promos stipulate in-store only or online only. This is both. So it doesn't really matter. They're just the standard list of stocking retailers.

Acivation does not specifically have to be done at those stores.  It can be done anywhere that offers the service.  Even if it's just someone who runs a small business out of a home-office or a corner store that offers Public mobile sim cards, new customers can still get this promo since places that aren't those above branded stores could just use a standard internet connection to activate your service.  When a promotion is online and in-store, that really means activation anywhere possible.  Public Mobile does have some agreements with some people and businesses other than those listed retail locations to promote the brand and services.

You have Wal-Mart what you have to do is find a retailer in your area offering a free SIM card with in store activation and Wal-Mart will price match it.

That seems to me and it's worth a try....because when I signed up my boyfriend on the $10 off $40+ plan by August 21st London drugs had a free SIM card with in store activation and he was given a free SIM card and I had been successful in them retroactively price matching my SIM card for free based on the on going(online advertised) free SIM card with in store activation and the purchase of a plan at go mobile repair in Vancouver. So in theory both Wal-Mart and London drugs in the Vancouver area should price match a free SIM card according to their price match policies.

That means on a $60 Plan you could save $82 and on a $25 Plan a whopping $47!!!!

Plan credit+$10 referral+$10 free SIM card+$2autopay....thats a stinking deal!

Just one more reason why I wish they had London Drugs in Ontario.

Nice to FINALLY get one of these offers like "the old days!" (Way back in March!!) Remember when these were offered for a 3 or 4  week stretch and at the same time as the $25/$25 referral credits!

Ahhh, the good ol' days!

[Jb456]

Public Mobile hopefully you fix your system issues by tomorrow or there will be lots of sign ups with a 1969 payment date 😁

[AE_Collector]

I refered someone who activated yesterday  ....I won't tell him about this but I think he may have activated the $15 plan anyway which is below the minimum to get this deal.

But what I wanted to report was that he got the SIM for free at London Drugs in greater Vancouver area and they gave him no grief using my referral code.

It means if you refer someone they also get a $10 bill credit.

That $10 referral credit for the referred customer is a standard credit, not a promo.  An example of a promo that might be stacked with this one is a limited time $25 referral bonus for both referrer and referred, like the one they previously had here:
