Hey Community,
It’s official! Our first Public Mobile kiosks have launched today. We’re excited about the unique design of our new kiosks and we think you will be too. If you have a location near you, we encourage you to check them out and bring some of your friends too!
Keeping in line with our no frills approach, our kiosks take up a lot less space than others. We’ve also included a bike as a part of our kiosks because we like to keep things flexible and make sure that we’re parked next to all the action. Our bike will also allow you to charge your phone (while getting a bit of a leg workout) and will continuously evolve to keep things fun and engaging.
What will we be selling at our kiosks?
- SIM cards- With no strings attached. You can activate the SIM card online or in-store with the assistance of one of our store reps. The choice is yours.
- Payment vouchers- Payment vouchers provide you with the flexibility to add money to your Public Mobile account using cash, credit or debit cards. After a payment has been made, you’ll receive a 12-digit numeric code on your receipt, which you’ll then need to input on the Payment page in Self-Serve.

FAQ
Spoiler
Why have you changed your strategy?
Our strategy has changed to reflect the growing prepaid market and needs of Canadians where transactions predominantly happen in retail. That said, our mission has and will always remain the same: to do wireless differently and give Canadians more control on their wireless, through more choice and flexibility while making no compromises on the things that matter most: value and good network experience.
Will store representatives at kiosks provide customer support?
While our store representatives will assist customers activating on Public Mobile, we will continue to offer all of our customer support online.
Why don’t you have any kiosks in more cities?
We hear you! We’d love to have kiosks in more cities and provinces, and we’re working on it. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates in the Community.

Now, do they really look like that, or is that just a drawing that is there to drum up conversation? I'm sure that soon enough, a member will post a picture.
I can confirm that they really look like that! (see pics below)
Also, I pedalled my heart out for 5 mins and my phone's battery level went down by one percent
EDIT: Removed a more zoomed out pic of the whole kiosk because it included people in the pic (workers and shoppers), and I didn't get their consent to post their pic here. Not sure if that would've violated the Terms of Service for the community, but I removed it just in case.
As far as I know, there is no expectation of Privacy in Public. Once you leave home you Privacy is gone. Think of it this way the mall you were at at had cameras watching your every move, the only difference between there cameras versus yours is You were holding yours in your Hand and there camera wasn't

@Alan_K OHHHHH WOOOOWWWWWWWW. this is awesome. Talk about wanting to stand out from the crowd. PeeWee Herman would be so proud, lol. The bike and colour scheme is awesome, this is definitely a unique kiosk. You'll definitely be getting heads turning your way for sure. And I love the bike ride phone charger, also helping people stay fit too. Shows that PM cares about the phones health as well as the human health, lol.
Awesome job PM, you made me very proud to be a PM customer, lol.
@dna2016 Glad you like it!! I'm a big fan of the bike too

@ooakosiryan If the activation terminals were flickering, you weren't pedalling hard enough.
Maybe PM were diverting your pedal power to reduce their electric bill
