@ss82 asbsolutely nothing. This bonus started on Nov 7th.

A perpetual 1GB bonus per month would make the most sense.

@error117, @BigML, @JDRaiku folks, the dates are pretty clearly listed in the first posting of this thread....

@DmcDohko well normally the person getting referred get literally nothing and the person doing the referring gets $1 for every 30 days the referred person stays an active customer. What would you like to see the referred person get? Have you seen other carriers giving away extras to someone being referred?

As many have already stated, this promo might work for a select few but it's still nothing worth getting too excited for...
I received the text with the promotion earlier today and was initially drawn in, thinking the 1gb wouldn't just be a one time add on but a permanent extra gb re-occuring every month
**(come on PM, having up to 5 extra permanent gbs a month is doable and not that groundbreaking given that in other parts of the world you get many more gb a month for a much inferior cost!!)
I'm more than willing to encourage friends and family to join PM as I've been receiving good service with you so far, however there needs to be better incentive, especially for those joining, who I'm pretty sure are at least looking for the 12gb/3month promo again!

@MVP silly to complain about markups in Canada
We pay $6+ for a coffee ($0.50 cost), $10+ for a hamburger ($1 or less cost)
In Canada everything is regulated and overpriced (and of course overtaxed)
Complain about the crazy idea of charging HST on someone's home if you want to talk about getting gouged

@JDRaiku I too just received the txt about the sharing is caring. Really should have been sent at same time (or very close) to the launch on November 6th.

@srlawren and on secondary market the iPhone X is selling for $2000 over on Kijiji
Crazy Apple peoples
srlawren wrote:Take for example an iPhone X, where it came out in the past couple of days that the estimated parts cost is aroun $3xx USD, while the phone retails for $1000+ USD. If someone gave you one for free, they would giving you $1000 of value not $3xx, becuase that's what it would cost if you were to go to the store to buy one.

Me too... Was going to ask my parents to sign up but realized it was a one time thing.
The wording was a bit confusing for me.
11-08-2017 02:46 PM
You're right... I was excited because I thought it was a permanent 1gb add on to both people.

Hi, I signed up a family member just a few days ago (this month). Can we please be included in this promo? Thank you!

If this really is a one-time bonus, it's not really great incentive to refer anyone. Not many people I've asked have any interest whatsoever in a one-time bonus.
I'm on the 3 month/4GB plan, and I really don't have enough data, but a one-time boost is just not going to do it. Had a few people interested, but they won't switch.

Or is it just really one-time thing and does not get renewed at your billing cycle?
I think the answer is quite clear in the "one-time". You get exactly ONE of these add-ons given to you for every referral, up to 5. It stays on your account until used up.

Hello friend
It is very easy. Here the steps:
1. Go to Walmart and get the SIM Card
2. get into the web side and check the plan you want for him. I personally used 90 days for some saving.
3. In the SIM Card you have the number, get it ready as well the credit card you will use to pay. (no work well with AMEX..:-(
4. Start the process online, is very easy. General personal information but save one.
5. At the end you will receive msg the activation is done. Then you just insert the SIM Card in the phone.
6. In daugther case, her iphone just pick all the setup automatically. She got ready to use it and she is happy since she has the 1 GB bonus as well.

I am being using Public Mobile almost a year and I am not regret... I just refered a friend and got my 1GB.. in addition I am very happy with the services and the coverage... no issues. 🙂
One thing just as a comment, I went to Walmart with my friend to get the SIM Card. The guy at first told us that all was sold out. We look at him with surprised, then he asked us about the plan we are looking for and offer us others options. We just say we are looking for Public Mobile SIM Card and no interested in others at the moment. When we were leaving he said, that he remember he has some cards. I want to believe that was a guy with a bad memory. At the end my friend got and activated her card and I got all my rewards...!!!! 🙂

These loyalty things are not advertised and for good reason. They can change it from time to time. At the moment, you can add another line.
