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!

@Ooskalabebe yes, and yes. It is fully rewards eligible! (cc: @prasprime)
11-03-2016 07:03 PM
@jclarke1983 it can, but with a big caveat. What happens if you click the button on the left to apply the plan change immediately instead of the button on the right to schedule it for next renewal is that your current plan is immediately stopped and any time left forfeitted without refund and a new 90 day cycle will start. You will be billed for the $120+tax for the upcoming 90 days right away also.

I don't think so. @Ooskalabebe

Sorry if this has been asked previously, but is this promo plan qualified to take advantage of the loyalty and/or the community badge rewards?
Thanks very much!
11-03-2016 05:39 PM
can the plan be changed now? I do not see that as an option

@al77, this promo applies only to province-wide calling.
The alternatives for calling Canada-wide while on this promo plan would be to buy a talk add-on or use hangout dialer and/or fongo app for free calling.

i just tried to setup my account to take advantage of this october promo - it applies the $126 discount for a 90 day plan *ONLY* if i choose province wide talk (along with 12gb data and unlimited international text). If i choose canada wide talk, the promo is disappears from the far right bar and the price goes from $120 to $201 (instead of going to $136 which would make sense).

Wanted to let you guys know, my port has been completed and no issues anymore!

@prasprime this is a good question that I have not personally tested; however, it's my understanding that the call would go directly to your voicemail, where they could indeed leave you a message. If I am wrong, hopefully someone will correct me shortly.

@srlawren One more question. Say I am in roaming. I dont have Canada Wide Pack only province wide. Do the caller can leave a voice mail ? or nothing. Thanks in advance.
11-03-2016 01:41 AM
@prasprime yes, anywhere in Canada that has a signal.
11-03-2016 12:52 AM
I can use data though ?

@srlawren Yup, I've rebooted and same thing. I'm gonna give it a bit more time. If it doesn't help, I guess I'll try this thread again tomorrow when the PMs are back.
11-02-2016 09:27 PM
@Rockdaddy22 no worries!
@Hieberrr just checking--have you rebooted after receiving the completion text? If not, try that and see if it helps. If you have rebooted and still no luck, give it an hour or two more, reboot again, and re-test. Hopefully the last bit is just lagging a little due to the volume of port requests.
