I just added the 2 free gb data on my plan but I'm hoping I won't lose them because I set my plan to change the next cycle on the 10th. Now I think I'm going to miss out because my plan is changing and I will probably lose the holiday free data?? Anyone know if I will lose it or not?

@kerry3g hi no you will not lose them they are an add on, change your plan at will 😁

Great way to start the holidays!

@054d The free giveaways shouldn't erase anything.  3GB gone should mean it was used. If it wasn't, contact mods https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.

[054d]

Thanks for the giveaway! Question, I had a 3gb free add-on from when I signed up that I hadn't used at all yet. When I added this 2gb promo, I had figured they would stack one on top of the other, but the 2gb promo seems to have erased my previous add-on. This wasn't written in the terms and conditions. Can this be corrected? Reversed? Stacked? Thanks in advance!

[Pavlik07]

According to the answers it a yes!

[Pavlik07]

Thanks for answering my question!

Yes. Your plan's data gets used first and if you run out, add-on gets used. You keep it until you need to use it and exhaust it.

@Pstone @Pavlik07  yes to both of your questions

Go to the self serve and buy the $0 add-ons. There's of them. One is long distance minutes and the other 2GB of data.

I also have a question about the holiday add-one.  I have monthly data with my plan, so as long as I don’t use up my monthly data, the holiday data can be kept until indefinitely?

[Pavlik07]

So if you use up only 500 MB you can keep them even for a year.

[gpixel]

@Pavlik07 you keep the 2gb and 500 min until they are used up. 

[Pavlik07]

Are the holiday add-ons only for December or can you keep them longer?

Can you please help me?

Thank you!

Hi,

I just tried entering the contest and it worked! I entered my phone number as usual (shows up as a keypad when entering it on your mobile browser, assuming no hyphens are necessary). This is what popped up to confirm my entry!

 

[hyT]

@Azopp 

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.

No.... “Epic Figured it Out” on your part! (Think Positive!)

Having trouble accessing the free data and voice ...

Following the directions:

How to redeem your free data and international minutes:

1. Log into your Self-Serve account 
2. Click “Purchase Add-Ons” in My Data & Add-ons section of Overview tab
3. Select the Free Holiday Giveaway: $0 2GB Add-on and/or Free Holiday Giveaway: $0 500min INTL Long Distance (incl CA & US). It’s up to you if you want one or both!
4. Click “Buy Add-Ons” at the bottom of your screen.

I do Step 2, but the page that opens shows no option to select anything.

It takes me to a page with PLAN, REWARDS, DATA & ADDON USAGE, LOST PHONE, etc, etc along the top, and a page full of Roaming info.

What am I missing?

EDIT:...   omg... ignore.... I just needed to scroll down on the page.  Epic fail on my part. lol

[sunflowershine]

Thank you!

[dougc]

Probably some of the problem,  is the system server can't handle all the popularity right now  . .  best to pop back later in the week when the server is not smokin'    😉

I input my full name (not just forum username)  but the first error indicated a problem with phone number  ... did a reentry with dashes still in place and then the "enter contest"  button was non-responsive.    

Later  😉

[RossN]

@JK8 Hopefully we will both see are names posted on the list 

[dougc]

Thanks Catherine T  and PM,   for the  Christmas cheer  🙂

Will be back later date to enter the contest,   since it seems to be unaccepting of the entry form  . . .  which  likely indicates a overly popular contest at this time .  LoL

All the best in Health (and  PM usage),   Now and  in the Future !
