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
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:
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!

Thanks!!
Koodo used to have such competitive plans, but now they've really lost the competitive edge. Been with them for 6 years, and finally making a switch! Didn't have any problems with a sub brand of Telus, so I am hoping Public Mobile will be the same!

Such a great plan! Immediately switched over from Koodo, very hassle free!
10-29-2016 12:20 AM
I know a lot of Roger's folks who are switching (myself and my wife included) - but I can't help speculating that this promo is targetted at WIND; to try and gain share prior to WIND's LTE rollout.
Either way very happy so far with the service at PM.

Just finished my sign up. All in all, not too painful. Was able to make outgoing calls and texts and use data immediately, and incoming started working a half hour later. Not too shabby. See ya later Rogers!
Now, just have to check and see why I'm only getting H+ on my Nexus 6P.

@Cyber by that logic then I can direct you to a thread how to get the $48 Koodo plan. Quebec specific plans are not same thing as what Public offers nationwide.
Even in your example:
1- POSTPAID not prepay (all kinds of advantages to prepay, everything from not requiring credit check to the fact that if you are away on vacation for a month you do NOT need to pay)
2- 1GB of data (with temporary 1GB bonus) is still only HALF of what the 12GB offers (avg of 4GB per month, plus flexibility if you need to use more during 90 day cycle)
3- You also forget to mention that extra 911 fee that Quebec hits you for
You guys keep claiming credit check is a non-issue; I used to work for a cell company back in the day and forget just teens, even adults fail credit checks and get put on spending caps, require deposits, or fail outright
You are delusional if you think that is not important to most Canadians

This is the plan I'm on, $135. So tell me again it wasn't offered. You guys are pretty sure of yourselves lol Pretty sad you guys can't admit you might be wrong. I wouldn't be so sure if I wasn't on that plan.
@Rockdaddy22 again, cmon dude that is the NORMAL plan
A promo plan is a limited time offer / special offer
I could sign up for what you described today if I wanted to
https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans
Stop getting so defensive just cause we say you are wrong
10-28-2016 08:39 PM
@Rockdaddy22 i will be happy with that. I will switch to the only Provincial and 12 GB of data to see if i could survive 3 months on Canada Wide through VOIP. After that's why i have 2 line of VoIP. Let's give a shot i will come in couple of days with the consumption of data through VOIP. Dying to see how much data i will consume after 5 hours of calling thorugh VoIP

@srlawren wrote:@makkahn28 so you want the target price for Canada wide talk + global text + 12GB to be $165-180 per 90 days? Theoretically, if PM were to give out the same $66 extra promo discount, I would think we'd be looking at the $135 price point....
My reasoning behind this would be about fair price, not cheap all the time
If they offered Unlim Can-US Talk + Global Txt and 12 GB for $160 90 Day, that's a $53.3333 per 30 Day
That would be the most phenominal thing ever

Maybe I can afford a new phone now!!!

Hi @hopetindall! Those are some serious savings, enjoy!
Also, when you sing up yourself, enter your wife's public mobile number for the "Refer A Friend" reward, that will save you additional $1 per 30 days.
10-28-2016 07:28 PM
Awesome deal.
Moved my wife's line from Rogers to PM yesterday.
Moving mine next week.
We'll go from paying $145.00 per month for 5GB plus unlimited talk and text on Rogers to
$76 per month for 8GB total (4GB each) plus ulimited talk (albeit in our province) and text on PM.
Savings $77.97 / month or $936 a year. Yes there may be some tradeoffs - but I couldn't not switch with this amazing deal. Thank you PM!
10-28-2016 07:21 PM
@PBForMe, Name, Account number, Phone number and the IMEI of the phone being used with the previous carrier should be sufficient for a port request.
10-28-2016 07:18 PM
This is great!!! I just signed up and was sad to miss out as I need Canada wide over Christmas; but I won't miss out. Happy early Christmas gift!
10-28-2016 07:06 PM
A friend wants to port but can't remember their pin number. Is the account number sufficent or is a pin number also required to complete the port?
10-28-2016 06:11 PM
@makkahn28 so you want the target price for Canada wide talk + global text + 12GB to be $165-180 per 90 days? Theoretically, if PM were to give out the same $66 extra promo discount, I would think we'd be looking at the $135 price point....
10-28-2016 06:01 PM
If PM had a Promo where Canada-Wide Talk + Global Txt and 12 GB for $55-$60 per 30 Day for 90 Days, that would be even sweeter
10-28-2016 05:19 PM
@boldventure each line is its own account, so they are separate. You can definitely use your first # as referral number for the second. 🙂
10-28-2016 05:05 PM
Thanks
Can I use the 1st mobile number as the referral for the 2nd mobile number if I put the 2nd one in the same account number or do I need to create a different account for the 2nd one?

The solution others mentioned was use a different email address then update it later.
But my Koodo account will be still active because I have a home phone and only the mobile phone numbers will be ported, can I still use the same email address in PM?
Thanks
Yes you can. It just to prevent any errors in porting process. Once you have everything up and running, i don't see why you can't use the same email.
