Hi, is this deal compatible with the instore SIM purchase/30 days free offer that's listed in the announcements? Thanks!
To get the $25 refer-a-friend credit deal, you need to order the SIM card online and activate the SIM card online at activate.publicmobile.ca. (The SIM card may be bought for $10 at some retailers such as Wal-Mart, but not all will allow you to purchase it.). So this deal is not compatible/stackable with the $0 SIM/30 days free deal which is only offered in-store.
That is NOT entirely correct. You only need to activate online, not in store BUT you can purchase the SIM from anywhere...
(but it is correct that it is NOT compatible with the FREE SIM/30 days free offer)

Unfortunately, the Walmart cell employees are in it for the commission they make on activation of new accounts. Some Walmarts won't sell you just a SIM card and they don't always give you truthful information (as indicated by many posts in this community). If you signed up yesterday or today, there is an "instore" promotion available - a free SIM and a credit for the value of your first month of service. I hope you were able to take advantage of that promo.
Thanks, we did indeed get to take advantage of that, so I guess it works out. I'm still happy to sign people up to escape their crazy bills anyway, so really even the $1 off my bill is gravy.

We were originally going to sign up online ourselves, but then saw the recommendation from PM to sign up in store because of Canada Post.
Pretty disappointed tbh.
Actually, PM recommended that you buy your SIM in a store because of Canada Post. They did not recommend sign up in store. The promotions are quite clear as to whether they are "in store" or "online".
Yeah fair enough. Some of the confusion comes from the fact that when I signed up myself, the guy told me if I sign up in store the sim is free, and that "I literally just fill out the online form for you", saying it was no different than me signing up myself at home. Ever since, when I'm telling friends about Public Mobile I'd use that exact explanation.
And yes, as soon as I checked I noticed it said online, but still wondered. I'm sure once you've been around for a few promos it's obvious that they're either in-store or online, but when it's the first promo you've ever seen, and you see the guy type activate.publicmobile.ca into a web browser, you probably wouldn't think too much about it.
Not sure how easy it is for info to flow from Public Mobile to the Walmart connection centre employees, but it would have been nice if the guy had been aware of current promos like this. We talked to him for quite a while, he definitely didn't know about this promo and also didn't catch on when I showed him the text from Public Mobile.

You can get the sim from Walmart and activated the account online by yourselves at home, not by the store.
Dang, wish the guy at Walmart was informed of this. I was told I'd get the $25 credit, along with my girlfriend who was signing up. I honestly thought the Walmart employee was just filling in info online (in fact, my girlfriend actually filled out most of the info herself even in-store).

It's been 2 weeks for me now, contacted moderators twice. still no show.. i actually have 2 referals. my friends said the number wasn't accepted as a referal number.
How long till it shows up on both persons account ? I am a new member and just registered and entered my referrals number also. I dont see the credit on my end, unsure about the other person ??
Give it up to 2 days for the credit to show in your account. If still not there, contact a moderator and they can help you get it sorted.
Great. It is a great timing. I just got four PM SIM cards at TMS using PC Optimum offer spentd $40 and get 20,000 pts back (= $20 grocery). Time to invite friend to my house. Give them free PM SIM card and activate PM plan for them. It is win-win. I get 4x$20($25 - $5 SIM) and my friends get $25 + free SIM.

Uh oh, extending an existing promo to after the holidays? Hopefully this doesn't mean the likelihood of there being a better promo for Boxing Day is slim. Guess wel'll have to wait and see. My fingers and toes are crossed from now until then.
@poste93 go to one of the various retailers that sell the Public Mobile SIM card. Ask to buy a replacement SIM.
Do not tell them you wish to sign up a new customer. Wal-Mart will most likely force you to activate in store. The other retailers are *normally* better.
The Mobile Shop, K-Mobile, Wow Wireless, London Drugs are your options.
There are four days left with this promotion and you need a sim card to officially register and get it right? I want to refer my friend but by the time the sim card arrives the promotion will be over. I guess there's no way to register without the sim card and number?
