[UPDATE] Last day to get our limited time 4GB / $40 promo plan!

Note: The promo plan has been removed from our website; however is still available in the activation portal and in Self-Serve. 

 

We will be honouring the promo plan for all customers who ordered their SIM card between October 25th-November 16th, but did not receive it before November 20th.

 

Why the November 16th cut-off date you might ask? SIM card orders take 1-2 business days to arrive at your home, and Canada Post does not deliver on the weekends. Knowing that there is a lead time for SIM cards to arrive, we have temporarily stopped SIM card ordering until after the promotion is complete. This is because anyone who would have ordered a SIM card after November 16th would not have received their SIM card in enough time to sign up for the promo plan. We didn’t want anyone to get your hopes up and then be disappointed.

 

If you get a SIM card at one of our pick-up locations this Friday and Saturday, you will need to sign-up for our promo plan on or before November 20th. The promo plan will not be honoured for these customers after November 20th.

Hey Community,

 

Yes, you read the subject line correctly! From October 25th to November 20th, we will be offering an amazing promotion where you can get 12GB of data, unlimited province-wide talk and unlimited global text on a 90 day plan for only $120. This equates to 4GB each month for the low, low price of $40 every 30 days. If there was ever a time to get friends and family to join Public Mobile, now would be it!

 

Check out the full details below to see how you and your friends and family can sign up for this awesome plan!

 

Things you need to know

 

  • This is the only promotional plan during this period. No other plans are affected
  • During the promo period, there will be two plans totaling $120: (1) the 6GB unlimited province-wide talk and global text plan and (2) the promotional plan, which has 12GB of data. Please be sure to choose the plan with twice as much data for the exact same price!
  • If you have signed up for the promotional plan, you will be able to keep it after the promo period, as long as you are an active customer. This means that, as long as you are an active customer on this plan, your plan price will remain at $120, even after your initial 90 days. No surprises. 

Getting the plan

 

Pick & Pay Customers

 

If you are an existing Pick & Pay customer and are interested in taking advantage of the promo plan, you have two options:

 

  1. If your plan ends during the promo period: You can sign up for the plan in self-serve, as you normally would to change your plan
  2. If your plan ends after the promo period: You can future date a rate plan change during the promotional period, and have the promo plan take effect after November 20th. For example, if you’re currently on a 90 day plan that ends on November 28th, you will be able to sign into self-serve anytime between October 25th-November 20th and future date the promo plan to take effect upon your existing plan’s completion. Come November 21st, you would no longer be able to future date the promo plan.

This means that everyone has the option to take advantage of this great deal, regardless of when your existing rate plan ends. 

 

Legacy Customers

 

If you are a legacy customer who is interested in having this promo plan, you will need to call into the call centre and upgrade to the Pick & Pay plan. Please note that, once you switch to a Pick & Pay plan, you will be unable to switch back to your old plan and will lose access to the call centre.

 

 New Customers: You want to join because the grass is really greener over here

 

As a new customer, you can add the promo plan when you are prompted in the activation process. You will need to have your SIM card in hand in order to activate, so please be sure to order it first!

@HS as @jton55 said, you have to include the texting option.  The promo plan includes province-wide talk, global/international texting, and 12GB data (for use over 90 days)

half of this forum is the same question... we should have a bot (aka. Simon) to answer those automatically

 

ULTIMATE LEGENDARY GUIDE TO ACCESS THE EXISTING 90DAYS PROMO.

 

- The promo is still ON but you WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON THE HOMEPAGE, but it still exists in the internal system thru new activation (Activate SIM card in home page if you scroll down you will see it) or if you already have an existing account you can access to it via self-serve.

 

SO HOW TO ACCESS THE PROMOTION?

 

When you have a SIM card go on the home page scroll down and select:

 

1.Activate SIM card (it will bring you to the page where you have to fill in you SIM card along with your personal info)

2.when you get to the plan section select:

-90days

-unlimited provincial calls

-unlimited text

-12gb of data

 

3. you should see the final price with the discount applied of the promo.

 

 

good luck

@VanillaSheikh It's hidden from the main site. It appears when activating a SIM card.

I am currently trying to register for this plan with the SIM card I received today and it is showing a price of $186 and advertising a $40/mo plan with 2 gigs per month. 

 

Anyone else having this issue and how to resolve?

 

EDIT: Sorry for stupid question. I went back to page 100 and found my answer. I panicked cause I was excited to set this up today.

Instead of texting 560560....  but that's just me... 😛

@srlawren

Is it normal to have 4G instead of LTE in the status bar ?

@srlawren

@srlawren if you send a short code to a pay service it asks to confirm payment but never actually does

I tried it once and nada

No charges and no credits

Awesome! well, Im just gonna go ahead and activate my promo plan. Yep call me crazy I received the SIM card two days ago but still didn't activate it xD. 🙂  

 

Was just helping people around.

@ShadowWarrior since PM is pre-paid and has no way to bill you after the fact, the 560560 service must be a free short code, or else PM would have replied instead with....I forget the wording, but basically letting me know it was undeliverable.  This didn't happen, so I believe 560560 is fine.

 

@zhadj030 is there's a specific station input you want me to send it to double-check, let me know

@ShadowWarrior not everybody's page numbers will match up, especially if they are on the mobile browser, but you can also change your default posts per page on the regular web interface too.

 

Maybe try giving people this link, which should take them right to your guide:

http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/UPDATE-Only-4-days-left-to-get-our-limit...

 

For future reference, you can get a link to any specific reply on a post by finding it, and then use the Options menu on the right and choosing Highlight.  The page will reload with that specific message highlighted, and if you copy the URL from your browser's address bar, that URL will take you to that specific message (via the /highlight/true#Mxxxx you see in the URL above)

@zhadj030 I was able to successfully interact with 560560 via text last night but didn't get a chance to let you know until now.  I'm not in your area so I don't have a valid input to send it, but it seemed to work.

I have just signed up for this promo on Nov.15th and am trying to get my hubs and and daughter on it now but the promo has dissapeared? When I select the 12GB the price jumps to 186 Vs the 120 that it stayed at for me. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to solve it??? The promo ends in 3 days and I want to make sure I can get those 2 additional accounts setup!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No worries. For some reason, that notification isn't turned on when by default. You'd have to go into your community settings to enable it, and then you get emailed any time you receive a private message.

Thanks for the help.  It wasn't obvious, but I found the setting so I should get notified from now on.  I've read and responded to your very kind and helpful PM.  Thanks again!

 

Awesome community.
