So I ordered a SIM card off Amazon because my local dealers suck. Dont even get me started with my local Walmart location, ive been there multiple times and the same guy is always there putting up an argument about Public. So instead I ordered off Amazon because the 1 day shipping time was attractive. Sure enough the next day I received the SIM and when I opened it up it showed this.
Now who's Tony ? This is the link to the SIM i orderd.

Now whoever sells this must not be offical. Its weird because this is the link to the Amazon SIM that PM used to give on their website. Its weird how its not there anymore.
What I dont understand is this Tony guy. 20-50$ Bill credits ? What the heck does he do activate it for you with his refferal ? Even then refferals are only 10$.
Theres also reviews about him and how amazing this Tony guy is.
I activated the SIM for a friend and it worked just fine. Its just odd that a guy would resell SIM cards with just a sticker on it to call him.
Has anyone elese orderd from Amazon and had this ? If so did you call Tony ?
Its kinda odd how no one has talked about him on the community. I would assume someone would fall for this and talk to the community on why they didnt get 20$. I might give him a call tommorow. See what the heck this guy does.
Oh and I noticed PM changed their SIM cards. They look much better.

Also wondering about this it does seem odd to state for additional credits.
But what do I know I am not a mod or oracle or anything because I don't state on behalf of myself whether or not a credit can be had or whatever.
Also not looking for referrals just on my own account being myself also being OP and from the legitimacy of what I type on or say off the forums on behalf of public mobile terms.
Sincerely

Is there an update on this? I would love to know what happened if someone reported Tony to PM

Not at all, some people just don't like to move things forward

@BearFBI, have you talked with PM about this? I know it has been brought to their attention before. If you want private message me and I can move this forward above the mods

Amazon third party sellers can be really shady. I sense Tony is just trying to fish for referrals. He is obviously lying about the bill credits. If a customer activates and does not get any bill credits, it is not like they can complain to him. They will just give Public Mobile the bad rap.

Did you place your order Friday the 30th, 31st Oct or the 1st Nov?
And if not and no flash sale is going on in that time frame Tony the Tiger likely says "sorry currently there is no $20 to 50 credit but we can get you a $10 credit" and activates your card with his referral code.
Ahhh. That makes sense. I was just wondering where he gets that 20-50$ from. I ordered it last week with my friends email signed up for the previous flash sale. Jeeze this guy must be racked up with referral's. Im going to ask him for a free SIM card. I wonder what he would actually do. If he ships it to me and asks me to use his referral I can easily not use it and gain a free SIM.
@BearFBI now you sound as bad as him lol

@RossN He actually only put his phone number to call. No referral. According to a few reviews he claims to be an employee from Public Mobile. The 20-50$ credit must be a lie.

@BearFBI amazon deals with third party sellers that is what you are dealing with a guy who puts his own referral number in the envelope with the sim card and sends it to you
