Anyone know how can I claim for that?

Yup -- will work with any Apple iPhone - The PM very affordable $10 / month plan which can be reduced to only $8 / month if one activates auto pay is ideal for only iPhones. The PM plan allows for unlimited incoming texts but only for 50 outgoing HOWEVER as long as your near WIFI you can use Apples unlimited iMessage feature.

makes sense!

Because of the limited out-going  texting on the $10 plan one can use the free  iMessage unlimited texting feature.

That's an iPhone thing right?

@Noosiekins, there is currently no add on available to add texts to the 10/50/50 plan.  Long distance add on can be used to add minutes, though.   BTW,  are you sure incoming texts are unlimited?

Yup. It's this plan... https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/plans/10for50talk50text

My boss just activated this for her 12 year old daugther... a talk and text plan...  She'll get unlimited incoming but only 50 out going texts... 

What are her options if she goes over the 50 text.. I don't see any add-ons for texts?

[abstrusevaibhav]

I took the Unlimited Talk plan as I was told by Walmart cashier that offer applies to that plan.

[MacMe]

The $20 credit is only for talk & text plans.  I'm not sure if the $20 plan is eligible since it only has talk.

You can send a message to the Moderator_Team and they can look into it.

[abstrusevaibhav]

On 8th June with $20 plan. But no credit till now.

"Eligible customers will be credited within 72 hours"

So 3 days.  When did you activate your account?

I just recently signed up at Walmart, I didn’t get my $20 credit though....I got my free SIM card but no credit.

how can I inquire about that?

[talamal]

Yes, you can get the plan from Walmart, and then change the plan to whatever you like (Data, call-only, etc) on the second month.  

You're stuck with call/text for the first month.

I signed up via Walmart on June 1 and still have not seen the $20 credit. I did get the sim at no cost. Can I ask how long till my credit shows up? Thanks

I just activated at Walmart and used my existing phone number.

They state it can take up to 2 hours, but my phone was active well under the 2 hour timeframe.

The Walmart employees could not see the promotion listed here though, and I had to pay for the SIM card,

Request a credit for the SIM by contacting the moderators. Click this: message to moderators to send a private message to the moderator team with your phone number, account PIN, and an explanation.

You can still put in the referral phone number when activating at Walmart.
