You will receive a notification as soon as they process. You friend has to enter your public mobile number as referral while signing up. This promo has a last date be sure you friend has done the referral. In my case it showed up after a few days when I signed up.
Hi @hml1976grammy - Could you provide some more explanation of exactly what you did, when, and where. That way you can get an explanation/help that is specific to your situation.
@wchu - You should both see the $25 within 72 hours. Your friend will probably see your referral in their online portal within a few hours. Plus, they should get a text message notifying them that you used them as a referral.
Thanks for the welcome. Hopefully the sign up will be trouble free!
Be patient is a good attitude to have now..
Yes, the activation and self-serve systems are misbehaving today, but members should keep trying so that sign up can be finished before this promotion ends on Monday.
It's so sad I only read this post after I activated the SIM at Walmart. Lose the $25 for both my friend and myself. If anyone need a referral code, please PM me.
Don't worry @cloveliu I missed out three times, but the money I saved and some new specials for existing members have cheered me up greatly since I moved to Public Mobile.
I hope you too will find satisfaction from your stay here.

I received $1 friend referral fees but not the $25 bonus credit, What's going on?
Maybe your $1 referral credit situation is same as mine, your referral went to a store and wanted to buy a sim card to activate online at home, the store person offered to your referral that he/she can help you to activate the sim card and do the phone number porting for you as a courtesy. They mentioned to your referral that they don't earn commission from selling the sim card and activate the prepaid plan. They opened up a web brower to https://activate.publicmobile.ca/ and told your referral that it is same as you to activate it online at home. Somehow to link their information with the activation, that's why you get $1, and your referral get $10.
They're sneaky little sneaks those guys. Of course they get a commission.
The recommendation is also to not even use the store wifi. Get out. Do it at home or a coffee shop.
The theory that I read here is that there's probably a set ip address that is linked to the store at Public Mobile. Like the external ip of the store router.
