The walmart employee skipped over the referral questions and mods would not / could not add it after the fact.

First thing I would check would be the phone setting for number of rings before going to voice mail.

I got two SIM cards yesterday from Walmart in Toronto ($20 talk plan) with $0 for sims and guy in Walmart told me that it is eligible for $20 credit. (both new numbers not port)
However, I have big problem. both lines can make outgoing calls but incoming calls end up to voicemail %95 of time. both phones are in same location with full antenna bars.
so anyone tries to call it goes to voicemail directly.
both phones are unlocked "samsung galaxy core lte"
what is the problem? @CS_Agent

You could order a PM SIM card online or purchase one offline (at Walmart, WOW! Mobile, or K-Mobile). You'll need to pay for the first 30/90 days of your plan upfront (PM is all prepaid, cash or credit card or payment voucher), these promo credits are added to your account after activation (so they basically get used up on your next billing cycle). You'll need a valid email address (to login to Self-Serve and this community forum). You'll need an unlocked phone compatible with the PM/Telus network (and happily, any device which is hardware compatible with any other Canadian 3G/4G network is also hardware compatible with the Telus 3G/4G network).
Always read PM's first post in these promo announcement threads to learn the details.
This particular promo must be activated at a Walmart location and is only available to new customers until June 30, 2018.
PM also offers other promos and plans (and a flexible build-your-own-plan calculator) which can probably get you more for less than your existing $70 Bell plan, lol.

I had no issues with setting up the plan at Walmart in West Kelowna, BC. The one sales associate was unfamilar with the Public Mobile deal but his co-worker knew about it and helped him set it up for me. I wasn't charged for the SIM, only charged for the basic $10 plan and got my $20 credit a few days later. By then I was satisified with the coverage and wanted data so I switched to the $40 plan using the $20 credit, ported my number from Rogers using the online form on this site and I was all set. So far it's been all good, thanks!

Hi johnjzren!
Thank you for your comment! Once you activate your Talk and data plan at Walmart the credit is automatically credited to your Public Mobile account within 72 hours!
Have a great day! 😉

I just sent a PM to the Moderator_Team. They needed to know my phone number and 4 digit pin code.
05-27-2018 01:48 PM
How can I get credit ?

1) Call another Walmart and inquire if they sell Public Mobile SIM cards or not. There are two Walmart stores in Saint John, NB
2)You can order SIM card online (will cost you $10) then go to Walmart and ask them to activate SIM card for you; then you would be eligible for $20 account credit.
Talk+Text plans only! With no Data included, which can be changed after credit received.

Hi,
I want to be a part of Public Mobile. I am a newcomer to Canada.
I am in Saint John and asked McAllister Mall Walmart to purchase SIM. But they refused that we are not selling any SIM cards here.
Please help if I order online then I am not eligible for offer or advise what to do?

Walmart, SIM activate + pick plan (Talk+Text plans only! With no Data included, which can be changed after credit received), Self-Serve account created at the time of SIM activation. All additional discounts available and eligible!

Not a scam - everyone got the credit, except you. By design.

I'm guessing you won't get the credit unless you request it by contacting the PM mods. I doubt you're being ripped off, they're just not aware you qualify for the credit ... it seems that no automatic system is in place (and it seems that promo credit activated through Walmart is very hit or miss).
Maybe you will be ripped off and lose your twenty bucks, I don't know, but you should at least make the effort to communicate with the company reps before accusing them of fraud.
05-24-2018 11:11 AM
looks like you got ripped off by these guys also !
