It can take up to 72 hours to get the credit.   Which plan did you take?  Plans with data are not eligible.

For my understanding, once you activated, you cannot add referral no. anymore. 🙂

Hi everyone,

I have another question. 

Since this plan contains 50-minutes canada-wide call, I can use it to call 1-800- toll free number. I am wondering wether it will consume the minutes when we make this kind of call? The 50 minutes will be deducted or not?

 

Thanks.


Calling 1-800 numbers will be deducted from 50 minutes.

, that $10 was from your friend referral, $20 comes within 72 hours

Got my $20 credit today.  Remember you only get this for the $10 Talk and Text plan only.  You can change it to a data plan afterwards.  Don't forget to sign autopay to get $2 off too.

 

Thank you PM!

 

BTW, how about home internet?  🙂

Hi there,

I only got a $10 credit after I activated at Walmart. When do I get the remaining $10?

 

Thanks!

So this promo ends in a few days. Will they bring it back? Maybe. I think it was successful, but they may remove the $10 plan from this promo, or just make that a free SIM only promo. I think too many people took the $10 plan and switched to a data plan as soon as the credit came in.

 

I do think the 30 day credit promo was brilliant. Pick ANY 30 day plan and your 2nd month is effectively free. 

 

Too bad these have to be in store. I would prefer to pay for SIM online, ship to me, then get a credit for the cost of the SIM when I activate a new line. I don't know what the incentive is to get store employees involved.

@mmai, Unfortunately, that $20 bill credit is only applicable for Talk & text plans activated at Walmart.  plans with data are not eligible.

I activated a new account with Public Mobile for $40 4.5GB plan today, but I haven't seen $20 credit added or updated in my account. How should I get this credit? Please let me know. thx

I just signed up in Alberta, free sim card and no activation fee..didn't have a referral, but will be switching to the data plan next time.

 

Thanks PM for the good deals.. hope cell signal is decent

No, you need to provide a referral phone number when you activate your account to get the $10 credit.

 

Maybe the Walmart associate used his number, that's why you got the credit.

I just read about the offer online in Googling cheaper cellular providers. Is that considered a referral?

Hi,

 

I signed up to Public Mobile yesterday at Walmart in Midland Ontario. Today I received a text message from Public Mobile telling me that they are crediting $10.00 to my account. I am confused as the announced special through Walmart has been advertised a lot; free SIM card and a $20.00 credit. How can I get the other $10.00 credited to my account?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob


The $10 credit is probably because you used a referral.  The $20 credit should show up in less than 72 hours if you are eligible.

Which plan did you take? For the $20 credit, it must be a talk and text plan.  Ones with data are not eligible.
