The Walmart wireless rep doesn't work for Public Mobile.  Complaints regarding a specific Walmart location should be submitted to the Public Mobile mods.

It has been made clear many times on here already -- if they won't sell you a sim card unactivated at Walmart (AKA STILL SEALED IN THE PACKAGE), go elsewhere. This is strictly a Walmart Sales Associate issue, and nothing to do with Public Mobile.

 

@aaks47 

While we feel bad for you, this is your mistake because you had to provide him information to activate the sim card, instead of simply paying the $10+tax and being on your way with it still sealed in the package. Or do you provide all of your personal information including SIN number when you make any other normal purchase? This has nothing to do with public mobile and everything to do with poor customer service at Walmart, and a lack of common sense.

 

Just a reminder folks -- this deal expires at midnight tonight.

but this is not my mistake, I bought the sim from walmart to make an online activation, but he did the activation without asking me. I surprised when he said that he did every thing. I am dissappointed from this company. I will not complete with public mobile. They are Scammers.


The representative in Walmart did NOT activate your account alone...he needs informations from you for that!!Smiley Wink And the representative is NOT public mobile. Public mobile didn't do anything wrong with you. Sorry for you.Smiley Sad
