Hi PM,
I am unsure if this is a valid question to ask, but I am referring two more individuals and I was wondering if there were any new deals or promotions happening in the next couple days that I should know about to let them know.
Thank you!

I would say this has brought up quite a good discussion! Thank you to everyone for contributing and increasing the knowledge of the general public 🙂 Some things here are definitely new and useful information to me!

Is there a way to subscribe to notifications when a new topic is posted in the Announcements area? Or do you just have to keep poking your head in there?
@cappaj further to @szymon247's note about RSS readers, I did post a sort of a "how to" guide a while back: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Brief-Guide-How-to-subscribe-to-a-communi...
Unfortunately, I don't know of any other way to subscribe to an entire area of the community at once. Individual threads, yes--but not an entire area.

Promotions are known to customers at the same time as everyone else knows about them. Even if some Public Mobile employees know about them ahead of time, they are unlikely to risk losing their jobs to leak the information. When promotions are launched, they'll be announced on this message board or they'll be advertised at publicmobile.ca.

@cappajDepending on the browser, you might need an extension for it.
If you're using Chrome, for instance, you can find it here:

Click "Options" in the top right corner and choose "Subscribe to RSS Feed". You should get a new RSS notice as soon as a new announcement is posted.
I did click that and what it showed me was very confusing and so I think my answer is no, I am not using RSS Feeds.

I think the current promo is amongst the best ones I've seen in a while. The 40$ unlimited plan with 4.5GB of data, 25$ referral bonus for both parties OR free month + free sim for the new user is probably the best that PM ever did.
It made me switch over to PM after all!
I would say now is the time to pull the trigger, but in general, promos are very strictly competitive. If any other major network offers the same plan for 35$, PM will likely match that very fast. The current deals are largely a response to Lucky Mobile, matching their offer. Chatr did that too.

10 GB worldwide calling + 1000 credit. For $25/90 days would be nice.....#wishfulthinking 😏

There have been some really good promotions. Keep checking back regularly for new ones.
07-30-2018 02:34 PM
The retailers definitely know of any future sales but I they are not allowed to say. I suspect this because when I activated my plan with the manager during the flash sale and the manager of the boutique didn't know what I was talking about until he checked their binder of notes.
But as consumers, we can just wait for the provider to annouce any future sales and promotions.

@dtran3 sadly no. For competitive reasons, promos are not pre-announced before they are announced. You could try sites like RFD that may or may not have "leaked" or inside scoops on things before they are announced, but I"m not sure how useful they are for PM promos.

@dtran3, take a look at the featured topics section of this landing page. There are 4 promos going on at the moment, one for $25 in bonus referral rewards for both parties and discounts for 3 different plan options.
