Any tips for a newbie?

[Jenny6745]

I've just switched to public mobile. 

Do I need to follow up with my old provider and are there any tips for a newbie to the service?

A good way to start is use autopay as that will automatically get you $2 off. Next if you can refer family and friends who are looking to join. As long as their account is active you get $1 off. Once your familiar with service you may help answer questions on the community fourms you will get up to $20 off. Last bill I got $14 off my account for using fourms.

@Jenny6745, I'm a newbie too. I joined less than a month ago. When I have time, I'll read through the new posts and try and learn as much as I can from other people's experiences.  If I find someone's post helpful, I give it a bravo.

When it's a situation I have personally experienced and I think my experience might be helpful, then I'll comment. I don't think I'll ever get to be one of the top posters, but it's kinda fun to be on the boards and help others. I think this business model is interesting (using a community forum as part of the support stream) and it seems to work pretty well.

Welcome to PM 🙂

Take some time and familiarize yourself with the community, look at the top contributors and see how they respond to requested help. You can use their responses as a cheat sheet and make your own. If you don't know the answer to someones question use the search feature 99.9% of every question someone asks has already been answered before.

Remember quality of posting is more important than quantity.
