Go into self service.

Each Public Mobile account, with a seperate number, should be able to enter the contest. So, yes?

Hi,

I am still working through my 5 Gig bonus from a few months ago.  Will the 2 Gig Holiday gift add to this total or over-write it?

Thanks

---

It will be listed like this.

[JawnyG]

Yeah. I've been having the exact same problem... on multiple browsers. Click... then nothing happens. Probably just overloading the site. Come back in a few days. That's what I'm gonna do. Cheers!

Do you know whether putting in your community screen name is sufficient for the draw?

Hi,

When submitting to be entered in for the Gift Card Give Away, what phone number format does it take? I have entered my cell number multiple ways and it keeps telling me to put in a valid number.  example: 709-123-1234, 7091231234, do you with a 1 in front? What am I doing wrong?

---

Has anybody resolved this?

I tried many options too, but still no luck.

Moreover, my name contains a hyphen, and the form refuses to accept that! What can I do in such case?

[rob_hfx]

Tried all that...nothing works

Hi there!

I just had a question regarding the contest. My mother, father, and I have accounts with Public Mobile but I pay for all 3. Am I the only one eligible to enter the contest or can all 3 of us enter? Thank you in advance!

---

 @Chobap 

From the first post on page one:
Enter your details: Head over to publicmobile.ca/holiday and enter: 1) Your name, 2)Your Public Mobile phone number, and 3) Your email

The names on the accounts are probably different. The phone number and email on each account would definitely be unique.
The payment method wouldn't matter.

[HappytoRetire]

Thank you Public Mobile for the extra gifts. It sure came in handy when I switched phones and the new phone was using up my data. (the operator was at fault for that lol) I really appreciated having that extra gig from last year. Happy Holidays everyone. 

[CrankyAvocado]

Other telecommunication companies: Oh! You need internet to work from home or data to use online coupons on your weekly grocery trip. Our plans now start at a low, low fee of $90/month and up.

PM: You get 2 GB! And you get 2 GB! 2 GB for EVERYONE!!!!

When other telecommunication corporations are increasing rates and cutting promotions during a time when people are more in need of these services than ever before and facing more financial constraints, this is such a lovely gesture. A heartfelt thank you to both the staff and decision makers at PM! ❤️

THANKYOU Public Mobile for the data & mins add-on giveaway and the Amazon giftcard draw, very much appreciated. I have not logged in yet as everyone else is doing it today.... I will wait it out.

[NDesai]

Fantastic! Good to see the More is Merrier giveaway continues. I hope the extra data and mins allows you to connect with your loved ones across many other countries during the pandemic. It couldn't have been a better time. On top of this, there is a GC giveaway to look forward to. Good luck to all!

[kaytus]

Did u key in the "1" in front of your mobile no?

I did the first time, that it  said that " Please enter the correct number"

So I just key in the area code without the "1" in front.

I worked for me.

Hope it can help.

And good luck for you.
