Hi,
I still have an old sim card when PM was giving it away for free several months ago. Can anyone let me know if that sim card is eligible for the $40 / 4GB plan?
Thanks,

Sorry @chitang, as the other responders have indicated, you have to have a order number from within the promo plan period plus a SIM card number that matches to that order in order to be able to get on the promo plan now. Your pre-existing SIM card would have worked if you had activated it prior to Nov 20th and scheduled a future-dated plan change to wait out your contract, but you have missed that deadline, unfortunately.
As others have said, the regular plans are also great! Or, you could continue Month-to-month with your current provider and wait to see if another appealing promo plan comes along. For most people, I would say if a current plan is close to your real needs, go ahead and activate and port now, becasue if another promo plan comes up, i'm quite confident exsitng customers will be able to get that plan.

Any customer new and old was able to upgrade to 4g, there was over a month to do it. you just had to log in and future date yoru plan change. They were actually very nice not making existing customers buy the plan imideatly and lose the time left on thier existing plan.
This added time was even a further bonus in responce to system issues.
I believe the promo with relation to new and existing customers PM did a great job treating them fairly and equally,

in all fairness the 2gb /90day $120 is a great plan if you can't get the promo.
I recall seeing people selling their unused sim and order number, on the forum can try a search, or you could ask if anyone has an unused sim and promo order number they want to get rid of.
my understanding is they will honor the promo as long as you have an order number from the promo period. Not sure how much longer that good will willlast though.
some info in this thread

If you didnt change your plan during the that promo, then you cant get the 4GB plan. But the sim card still work for PM.

And they are only honoring because some people did not get their sims on time or got them late.
I was waiting for my contract to end
There were many other users in the same boat as you. They were advised to activate on the cheapest Public Mobile plan like 10 or 30 days text only. That way they were able to future date the plan change to new promo plan.
Sorry, i highly doubt they will honor you the promo plan because you were waiting for your contract to end while holding onto the public mobile sim.

thats what i thought too. Can anyone confirm?
12-25-2016 03:16 PM
The way I interpret, I was under the impression that 1, U had to get Sim before Nov 16, and 2, U had to provide PM Mod with Sim order info to be considered eligible

No, sim cards ordered during that promo are eligible.
