hi. Can someone pls tell me how to stop getting Announcements emails. I asked a question yesterday about the holiday special and how to do the add ons now I am getting emails in my inbox anytime someone else asks a question too. My problem was resolved. I no longer want to follow this thread. What can I do to stop the emails now? Thx

 @BobbieK 

By default, when you post in a thread, you get automatically "subscribed" to it. You can turn that off entirely in settings, or as above you can turn off everything. But you can also turn it off with the Topic Options button above the thread/below all the upper stuff of the page and unsubscribe from just the one topic.

Go to the addon self serve portal at:

My Account -> Plan and Add-Ons tab -> My Ad-Ons button. 

Scroll down and you'll see the $0 add-ons. Click the + button to add them and click "Buy Add-Ons"

I have just claimed my 2 $0 free holiday gifts.

I have also entered the contest.

My first name also contains a hyphen. Encountered problem with error message telling me to enter a valid name. I tried Chrome in incognito mode. Still same problem.

Then I tried just entering my last name and it worked!

My phone number was entered as a 10-digit number with no hyphens, no spaces, no brackets and no leading 1.

Hope this helps.

This time I entered my name with no hyphen and it works!

Hopefully it would not be a problem for confirming my identity, when needed.

Thank you!

And thank you to PM!

[bap37]

Been searching everywhere in Self serve but don't see where I add my gifts.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

[katiefleming]

Wow just saw the email! Just wanted to sign onto the forums to say a big thank you to PM for the nice gifts for Xmas 😀

[Triguy]

Make sure you enter all numbers without any hyphens.

[Charlann]

Trying to enter the contest it keep coming up with please enter a valid phone number when I enter my number, what's up with that  😧

[Triguy]

To purchase Add-Ons using your Self-Serve account, follow these steps: Click on ‘Purchase Add- Ons’ on the Overview tab and scroll down to the Add-On calculator. Click the plus sign (+) to add and the minus sign (-) to remove selected Add-ons. When you’ve added all your desired Add-Ons, click ‘Buy Add-Ons’. Select ‘Confirm my purchase’, and you’re off to the races!

[hairbag1]

Log into your account / Purchase Add-ons..select your free add-ons

[Dtack]

Yesterday I wasn't able to enter the contest, but today it went through and lets you know that you have entered the contest, and then you will also receive an email advising of same.  Good luck everyone!

[hairbag1]

HINT...enter your phone number as one string without hyphen.eg: 250XXXXXXX

NOT 250-XXX-XXXX

[Graphite]

How do I claim these? 

Thanks

[BearFBI]

Jeeze. Havent been on here in a while. Yay we get free data bonuses! First time claiming one of these. 

One problem. The submit button won't submit on the contest enter page. 

[Mothman]

Still no luck on the prize draw for me.

Both on PC and mobile, clicking the Enter button does nothing. Just sits there.

EDIT -  I just tried again, for both household Public members, and both worked this time.

[SteTem]

Worked first try this morning,,, lightning quick

[HappytoRetire]

Having problems entering the contest?  first day the contest began there was maybe too much traffic so it was hard to enter. I had no problems entering today (Dec 2). Also, the phone number format is 5092224444 (no 1 or dashes). Hope that helps anyone trying. Good luck.

@annettelo, @navinds77 did an awesome job describing it, I had been away from Public Mobile due to work, but found it challenging as been away from the forum.

here is a screenshot of where the '1' is free


Click on Buy-Add On at the bottom:

I will ask to confirm. It should say 'zero' dollars being deducted. If you see a number, go back to make sure you have the correct one selected. 

And then enjoy your free data and minutes! Wooooohooo!

[navinds77]

Go to Add on , 

the window will open purchase add on 

Data 2gb  click + it will show 1 in middle column  for   $ 0

intl call  click+ it will show 1  in middle column for $ 0

at the bottom it will total addon 0$ 

 click confirm purchase ( which will be 0$)

hope this helps

@annettelo 

When you sign into your self service account. go to purchase add on section.  There should be two options to purchase for free.  Holiday bonus for 2GB and 500 minutes long distance add on. Complete purchase and you will get the two holiday bonuses.
