Does anyone know if ' INTL Long Distance (incl CA & US)' includes only Landline or you can call Mobile Phone too?

Thanks

 @Camera4617 

I've read rumours of different providers not accepting in or out or both but not down to whether it's landline or not.

If you're asking about the gift minutes then if it works, great. If not then oh well it was a gift. Try it out and let us all know.

Thank you Public Mobile for the free gifts.

I have one question members may be able to answer for me.

I manage two accounts, mine and my wife's. "She received the email announcing More is Merrier is back" but I did not. I have also noticed other offers going to her email in the past but not mine.

Is there a place where I can select to turn these on?

I suspect it is somewhere in Self Serve since my wife does not have a community account so wouldn't have been able to select anything there.

I did try to signup for deal alerts at the bottom of the plans page but it just keeps telling me to enter a valid email address. I have tried different browsers and used incognito mode.

Thanks much.

I don't understand your reply to me, DPyro

@Mimi33   My guess would be that @DPyro  wasn't replying to you in particular but posting a general comment that he/she still hadn't used up all the previous gifts that PM has given customers earlier this year and last.  😊

These gifts are treated like non-expiring add-ons and will stay with your account until you've used them up no matter how long that may take.

[mpcdesign]

It should. Try after hours when it isn't as busy!

[Mimi33]

I don't understand your reply to me, DPyro

I prefer the free add-on data than the unlimited slooooooow data offered by other providers.

Thanks PM

All my accounts received the holiday offer.

But someone has to pay for these free add-ons.

PM took 10 cents from one account and 40 cents from another account.

Minimum PM charge is $1.  Give me a break PM.  It is not possible to spend less than a dollar on self-serve.  Fix the software bug.

I will wait for couple of day before creating a ticket to determine whether it will go away like the phantom referrals bug.

---

Update:

PM continues to take more fund from one of account.  It was missing 40 cents yesterday and today another 40 cents missing.  Total 80 cents missing in that account. 

I created a support ticket a few minutes ago.  I will report back later.

Please your account for missing a few cents.

[Inked]

Nice work it was so easy to do . Thanks 

[DPyro]

I still haven't used the bonuses from last year.

[saskcowgirl]

you can add on the holiday bonus, and it will remain on your account to be used fully. it is not a "recurring" amount of data though, so once it is used, it will be gone. 

[Mimi33]

Thank you PM again for helping us hear the voices of our loved ones in the USA at no cost.  Great Christmas gift.  Very thoughtful and very much appreciated.

[loulou4]

Thank you! 🙂

[loulou4]

Thank you! 🙂

@Lochness 

Follow the instructions given by members on this thread.

Double check the total amount is $0 before submit your purchase just in case there is an error.  

[HappytoRetire]

Mostly because of traffic to get gifts and entries.  Try a bit later and use 10 digit phone number with no spaces or dashes

[Triguy]

You would be eligible for the add-ons.  They remain in your account until they are used up.

[AE_Collector]

So it is NOT a 2Gb bonus each month. It is one block of 2Gb of data that is only tapped into when your regular plan data runs out. The remainder of the add-on stays on your plan until you use it all up.

@loulou4 

Yes, holiday promo is available for the $15 plan. The promo stays with you regardless if you change plans later. It rolls over cycle to cycle until used up. Your plan data will be used up first before this promo data is used.

To claim your holiday promo.

Log into self service.

Keep scrolling until you this:

[loulou4]

A question about free holiday add ons. I am new to Public Mobile and thinking of setting up the $15 plan. I saw that holiday add ones are available to both new and existing customers, so I am wondering if they can be applied to $15 plan.  Also, do they stay added onto your account as long as you’re with that original plan or is the holiday add on just for a limited time where data & minutes are increased? 

Thank you in advance for your help

Try entering without spaces, - or brackets.

Also clear your browser cache and open a new window in incognito/private mode.

[AE_Collector]

10 digits, no dashes or spaces.

[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!

[raynahasin]

Hi! I literally just did this so I can help you out. You go to your account and then click on the tab that says "Plan and Add-ons". After that, click on "My Add-ons" and you shall see the holiday rewards there. I hope this helped! 🙂
