I have a question, I got a referral number and activated yesterday, I then activated my son and used my number for the referral. Shouldn't I have two $25 credits? one from the Referral I got and one for the one I gave so $50?
I thought you got the credit both for using a referral number and also for being a referral number, I only show one $25.
Exactly thanks to these forums. I also faced the same situation at Walmart. And then she said public mobile is bad, they dont have customer service and bad network. But i was adamant.
My girlfriend just went through the exact same scenario. Got the card though, and activated it online

They tried the same thing on me today. Finally when i did not budge she gave me the SIM at walmart for 10$ . Although she almost said no. That we cant sell SIM you need to activate here itself. So you will have to push hard.
Yesterday I got my sim cards in Mobile shop at Loblaws. They asked if I wanted to activate in their store. I just replied no I will activate at home. No issues with them.
You are right. I got trap by Walmart. I said that I wanted to buy a Sim, then they said I can active at store and also got credit. Now my friend got only 10 dollars credit, and I got only $2 monthly award. So don't listen to the store.
I can verify what @Pizzaeh and @hairbag1 said - I went to Wal-Mart and said
"Can I buy a Public Mobile SIM card here?"
"Yes, you can"
"Ok, I'd like to buy one, and take it 'to go'"
"Oh, no, we do things differently here - we activate it for you"
"Ok then, I don't want to buy one"
<look of annoyed understanding> "Ok".
While I was searching for the Mobile Shop in my local mall, I passed a Wow booth which I had never noticed before, and they happen to have PM too, so I had a nice easy transaction there.
Great, I'm happy that you were able to get a few SIM cards without too much hassle. When people don't know, it's shocking/annoying/frustrating and they end up walking away angry. Knowing beforehand seems to lessen the frustration and keeps that blood pressure or those eye twitches in check.

Thanks for that advice - I don't have access to some of those places, but if WalMart says no to just selling the SIM (it's the closest to my path tonight), I'll just go to a Mobile Shop at a mall that is not far away.
Hi, I am just about to go buy a SIM from Wal Mart today and then activate it online at home. I've reached out to family and friends, but in case none of them are on PM (quite possible), I'd like to get the referral bonus and so will need one of your phonenumber to have ready for when I do this switch tonight.
If I am right, and I Just need your phone number, please send it by PM, but also post a reply here saying that you replied - so hopefully I don't get hundreds!
Thanks. Does the referral have to come from teh same province? I'm in Ontario. Please let me know if you are too when you reply.
I would recommend you NOT get a sim from Walmart as there's been reports that they won't just sell the sim...they require to activate as well. I'd suggest you look around for a London Drugs,The Mobile Shop, a WOW kiosk or K Mobile.

Yes, just need the phone number of a Public Mobile customer. Can be anywhere in Canada. You will get more than 1, but less than 1000 referrals, good luck.
Update - got replies, thanks all - no need to reply anymore with your phone number, I'll use one of the first ones if I don't have any family show up. Since I won't use anything sent after this edit, save your privacy and don't send your phone number any more - thanks 🙂

To be clear, I did the activation online at home. This was about 14 hours ago and it still hasn't shown up yet. I thought it would be instant and automatic. Please let me know how to get this rectified. Thank you.

As mentioned it may take up to 72 hrs. Give it a couple days and if it is still not there then come back here, start a new topic and we will help you get it sorted.
I activated a PM SIM card yesterday onto the $25 promo plan. The credit is neither showing in my referrals account nor is it showing in my transaction history. What steps are required to activate the $25 credit for both of us? I also want to ensure my referral gets the ongoing benefit of the referal reward for bringing me into PM. Thank you.

If you activated online, and accurately entered their Public Mobile phone number, you'll receive the credit within 72 hours, but usually within a day or two.
Thank you for the quick reply. I'll check back in 72 hours. Hopefully it shows up. A friend who also activated around the same time said theirs already showed up on both sides. Thank you.

How do me and my friend get r 25$ been about a week and still nothing.
If you activated your sim in a store you are not elligible for it just 10$ for the person referred...the 25$ will be in your available funds in your self serve account if you did your activation online...
