How would that work when porting over from Koodo prepaid and needing the mods to complete the port.  It says "online or in store" neither of which is possible coming from Koodo prepaid.

Are you attached to your number?

You can just abandon it and save a bit more.

You will need to pay $10 for the new sim, so it is total savings of $30. 

Just don't forget to remove your credit card info so that you don't get charged on both accounts

If you refer someone to public mobile during this promo does the referer get their referal fee and $1 every 30 days off their bill still ?

Very frustrating, I signed up a couple of weeks ago for the $15 plan missed all these great promos.  Any chance Public Mobile is willing to work with me on this? As a senior any money saved is a really big deal.

Very unlikely, sorry I know it's frustrating but that's always the case for existing customers.  Your best option is to port out and then port in if you feel it's worthwhile, or activate a new account with a new number if the savings are worth it?

@Organixca Indeed, one of the very annoying practices among service suppliers. If you are not wedded to your phone number, do the math and consider opening a new account. You could also port out and then back in, provided it's worth the aggro.

@Organixca   That's a great suggestion by @Luddite for porting out and then porting back in if you feel it's worthwhiile to take advantage of the new promo.  The cheapest plan to port out to would be Bell's prepaid plan of $5/10 minutes plus the cost of a new SIM, then you could port back to PM.  You could lock in the promo by activating a new account with PM and then port back the number for Bell?

I'm sure somebody out there is thinking just that.

If Wal-Mart sim is free in their neighborhood, if they just recently started and have no referrals or loyalty especially if they dont need their number, they can just abandon their account for the new one and save $80. 

I'm actually thinking of buying it as a gift for somebody, in already called and sim here is not free, but it's still savings of $70.

I think I'll order couple of sims off of Amazon if they are still discounted.

There has never been an offer that was disqualified from having a new customer have someone refer that person. Yes, a new customer can be referred and still take advantage of this new promotion.

@Organixca 

You SO didn't do your homework!! You activated one week AFTER about 40 days of straight promos at PM (about Nov 20 to Jan 3) and now 10 days later you blame "the Big Corporations"? You have to do a bit if research to see that PM kicks in activation promos on a very regular basis. When you activated without a promo what did you think would happen, they would mail you a cheque if they ever ran a promo in the future?

A great way to save money for the new year.

Yes it's always disappointing to miss out on specials, but you're lucky it's 10 days, some customers here have missed promo specials by activating a day or two earlier.  But hopefully, you're saving by paying less than what you paid with your previous provider.  Either way, welcome to PM:)

Hi @Tiana_V 

Is this valid only for today?

All customers that activated on January 20th will receive this promotion

Thanks

That is what it says.  I would doubt that they would split hairs and disqualify an activation that occurred at 3:50pm eastern time.

@arconk 

Yes this is always an issue with flash sales.

Call your local Wal-Mart and see if they give it for free

You will find an extra sim very useful trust me, even if they don't you are still saving

@arconk  Unfortunately, no. Are you unable to get out to a store? https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/store-locator

No. You can just go to a Walmart and pickup up a sim card or places like London drugs.

This is for new customers but I am sure you meant existing customers.  PM just gave everyone 1GB of Data and 400 international calling minutes just before Christmas

Plus 1 GB in Sept.

Tiana clarified in the Oracle area that all customers who activated today (or later until the promo ends) will qualify.  That line about Jan 20th means that the promo is backdated to include customers who activated earlier today before the announcement was made.
