@noidea  It wouldn't hurt to message the moderators using this link  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437 or with the "?" on bottom of screen to ask them nicely for a goodwill gesture. Good luck

This is a great deal for new customers.  PM is doing a great join enticing people to join our network.

If I just signed up with Public Mobile yesterday is there anyway I could still be eligible for this promotion?

[apetresc]

I'm a new customer that just happened to activate today, by total coincidence - and then read this amazing offer 🙂 Thank you so much!

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.

@acortez  @totalUser  @Luddite  If you are lucky enough to live in Vancouver go mobile repair near Broadway and cambie offers a free SIM card with an in store activation. I have also had the London drugs located there match that offer presumably because they are in direct competition with each other (vs being a major retailer to get a price match as per policy.)

I sadly activated on the 7th, nice promo though.

I used up 1 gb in 3 days, I don't get why the greed on GB , it's expensive !

[dboxtvinfo715]

Yep, looks good for new customers

What a bummer. I just activated 4 phones and referred a friend two weeks ago. Would have waited - feel a little jilted.

Four new accounts and a referral all happened during the 16 days after Jan 3 and before today Jan 20? If any activations were done Jan 3 or earlier you would have received the second month free promo.

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.

---

You literally signed up AFTER Jan 3 and before today Jan 20? That's only a span of 16 days without any promos running after promoscweee running for 6 weeks straight. If you signed up on Jan 3 or before I believe you would have received the second month free no matter what plan you activated on.

The Announcement says anyone who signed up today will get it if they qualify for it. Check the terms and conditions, it likly takes some time for the credit to appear.

If you signed up today, then you are eligible for the promo.  Did you activate today?

[kselmak]

@Kimlandry80 

If you signed up today, then you get it.

Welcome to public mobile and the great savings.

Tomorrow you should get your friend referral $10 credit.

And the signup credit is coming to you within 30 days and 7 more times after that.

If any of that doesn't happen, contact moderators by clicking on question button and they will be able to help

[kselmak]

@JanTanton 

Did you port in all the numbers? Maybe those that don't have any rewards on and have brave new numbers can be abandoned. Just don't forget to remove your credit card info if you decide to do it.

@Jb456  Thank you.  It's been so long since I asked a question, I'd forgotten how it all works. Cheers

Wow @JanTanton 

That is potential $320 in savings

I see some people are considering just dropping the old and going with the new

Porting out to lucky for b$19 and getting new sim for $10 is probably not worth for those who would save $40. But i guess you do have some math and deciding to do. 

Well i guess the one account that collected all the referrals would be worth keeping

Maybe it's worth contacting mods and see if try can easy your pain

Good luck

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 ?

---

 New customer gets the $10 credft as always, not the referrer. Referer gets $1 per month credit as always.

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.

@Lar 

You would have to activate first with a temporary new PM number (instore or online).  Then can contact moderator to help port over the prepaid Koodo number.  That would still qualify for this promotion.

 Activate with a temporary number, then request moderator assistance for the port-in.

@sandalwood 

The new customer will get the $10 credit, while the referer (old customer) will get ongoing $1 per month credit as long as new customer stays with PM.
