Hey Community, 

For a limited time only, new customers can get their second month free when they activate on any plan online. (Plus an additional 5GB of free data when they activate on select plans!)

This offer is available to new customers only. Rules and conditions apply.

5GB Free Data Plan Eligibility:

• Quebec: Customers must activate on any plan of $23 or higher
• Rest of Canada: Customers must activate on any plan of $25 or higher

*Second month free promo applies to new activations on all plans. 

How to Get this Offer: 

1. Submit your email address here 
2. Receive a confirmation message that the email address you’ve submitted is now eligible for the offer.
3. Activate on any plan online before February 8, 2021, 11:59PM EST to redeem this offer.

How to Activate:

1. If you need to purchase a SIM card, click here to order a SIM card online through Public Mobile. Your SIM card will be shipped within 3 to 7 business days. You can also order your SIM card through Amazon, and choose your shipping speed. Alternatively, you can purchase a SIM card by locating a retailer near you. 
2. Visit activate.publicmobile.ca to activate online.
3. The credit value that you will receive will be equal to the price of the rate plan on which you activated your SIM card. This credit will cover the rate plan cost only. It will not cover additional costs such as Add-Ons.
4. Eligible customers will be credited the 30-day rate plan amount within 30 business days of activating. These credits will count towards your next plan renewal.
5. Eligible customers will be credited the add-on bonus within 30 business days of activating if applicable.
6. You will not need to top-up your account at your first renewal date, unless you purchase Add-Ons, change or future-date your plan to a more expensive plan during the first 30 days. Note that, if you have registered for AutoPay, you will continue to receive your $2 AutoPay reward every 30 days. All Reward rules, which can be found at publicmobile.ca/rewardrules, apply.

I wonder if it would have been easier and less confusing to have extended the previous "boxing week" promotion instead.

It would not hurt to make something like this an ongoing deal for an extended period of time.  Problem is if deals last too long, there will be buyer fatigue and the deal loses it lustre.  Customers are fickle.

I just noticed that myself when I went to sign up?

@Catherine_T Great news as always. Ah, I wish someday there was a similar promo for current users. Something like "successful payment on-time for 12 months in a raw? Get GM/mins/month free!". Wishes, wishes...😁

We already do. Two Decembers in a row with freebies for existing customers. Two summers ago a freebie. Last summer some freebies for some. The loyalty reward etc. And on the very odd occasion a promo plan that anybody can change to. But that's admittedly rare.

And the copy/paste strikes again. @Catherine_T : It's not 30 business days. That would make it impossible to enjoy the credit for the first renewal.

Great news, I will spread this news to my friends that have been sitting on the fence.

@z10user4  maybe PM considers it 30 'business' days because every day for them is a business day?

Still, I do see your point - may be misleading for the Mon-Fri working crowd.

so, is that two months (first and second) free? When I activated my line on December 30, I was told first month is free. I enrolled for autopay and I have been charged $25 for that plan and that doesn’t show in the balance. Please let me know if that will be adjusted in the following months?

Sorry, but the first 30 days will be full price. You'll only receive one free 30-day plan. Your activation was from a previous promotion, but you'll receive any credits that you're eligible for within 30 days of activation.

But my account shows next payment will be on January 29 from my auto pay.

I activated and did not receive the additional 5gb of data.
