$10 should show up on the new $15 account and another $15 credit to pay for your second month. Give it a few more days yet.

@gerhart Your contract and i am assuming more specifically your subsidized device portion is finished on december 29th with a post paid service. Meaning you were billed ahead of time for your month and any extra charges incurred during that month are then added to the following months bill. If your bills due date is december 29th and that is the final bill owing on your devices subsidized portion pay it now so you are in good standing and you can activate a plan with public mobile with a temporary number. Once your services are all working you can port your telus number in closing your account with telus and theynwill prorate your bill and refund any balance to you. Once a month is started even the final month the WCC considers it a full month when it comes to a contract/device subsidy and you cannot be charged extra or any other service charges and your months service will be prorated. However you are so close to the end you could call it even with telus but they will undoubtedly follow the law and prorate the few dollars that remains on your months service. I ported from fido my boyfriends phone with six months left on his contract mid month. I just made sure there was no balance owing. It was cheaper to buy out the phone than remain paying the outrageous plan, fees and overages. The plan was prorated and device subsidy was considered paid for the entire month and I was sent a bill for 6 months of device subsidy and a prorated half a month of service. Take advantage of the free month promo just don't choose the $35 plan it has the least value of all pm plans.

If last year at this time is any indication for this year (maybe, maybe not), that December new customer promo expired at midnight eastern on Jan 1. They also had a referral promo running cincurebtly like they do now, I think it was the old $25/$25 referral deal. It continued past January 1 until about the middle of January.
no one wants to pay for two overlapping services but we are now talking 3 days. It is easy to start your new PM account on a new number then Port your existing number in on Jan 29 ensuring you don't lose the second month free promo. Many think this isn't possible when still under contract. And, is your contract paying off a new phone, thus you have to complete it? If your paid up month simply ends on the 29th with no other restrictions... they will refund the few days back to you within a month if you left now.

Does anyone know if these plans and flash sales will still be available on Sunday, December 29th?
Thanks!

There's no guarantee of this free 30 days being available on December 29th. I might very well be, but Public Mobile could also revoke this offer at any time. There is currenlty no set expriy. For all we know, the offer could get better in the next few days, or it could get worse/disappear completely. I would say that if you're happy with it, grab it while you can. There's no use wondering if you could have got a better offer if you othewise would have been happy with what you did get.

Would have been worth activating a new sim on a new number yesterday to get the Christmas gifts. You would be paying for two services for 4 days then Port your number. You need a new SIM card to make the move so start enquiring at dealers to see if any of them include a free SIM card if activating through them. In all likelihood the second month free will hold to Jan 1 at least.

There was a Dec 4-8 Promo though... can't recall what it was now! Was it the permanent 1Gb of data (every month) on $35 or higher plans?

Be sure not to add the regular priced add-on. If it's saying that you need to pay, the wrong one has been selected.
12-24-2019 10:26 AM
If you look at the offer it will show $0. Same for the extra GB of data. Hope this helps

Utter newbie here. Thanks for your patience 🙂
I activated my account Dec. 23, but not by midnight eastern, but by Pacific. Is there any way to claim the promotion?
As @Jb456 stated, this offer hasn't expired. However, if it did expire at the originally planned time, you would have been out of luck.
12-24-2019 03:47 AM
@ClydeMacG Yes luckily the promotion was extended last week....otherwise it would not have applied. Keep this in mind...as a fellow left coaster all times are eastern when it comes to public mobile. When it comes to renewal also think 8:59pm pt.
You will also notice in your usage history some confusing times....texts are recorded at the eastern time zone, incoming and outgoing calling that are answered at local time (in your case Pacific.) Unanswered calls or those that go to voicemail at eastern time zone. Data seems to be at 2 hours behind local time of use but it is still a bit of a mystery.
