Hi Member,
I just received the free sim card offer from the txt msg.
I ordered one.
I hope that it can help the new customer.
Have a wonderful day

I wouldn't say poor execution @Community_QA
Existing members get the cards and bring in new accounts - we are the ones who might be better able to 'convince' others and can even help them get activated and manage issues down the road.
I see it as a win-win by doling these out.

Then very odd you didn't get yours yet. You both likely ordered before I did.
I got mine 3 days ago - on the East coast.
Wonder if that makes a difference? 🤔

@HALIMACS I'm quite sure I ordered the free SIM fairly early after reading this thread and one by hTideGnow and I received the confirmation email the next morning saying the SIM would be delivered within 5-10 days.

@HALIMACS I ordered on the first day of the free promo

@HALIMACS Hmm...still waiting to receive mine.. Lucky I'm not in any hurry unlike some!
03-31-2023 06:08 AM
I (and other users) got ours in just under 2 weeks!
That's really not bad - figured it would be well over a month.

No they didn't sell 1.3 million SIM's in one day... 😁 that number was already that high on the $10 option... it started at 0 and went past -4000 on the $0 version, so the counts were different. So in theory they had over 4000 ordered, dunno how far it actually went overnight before they nixed it.

@hTideGnow I think anyone who ordered on Tuesday when you and @kaytus posted about this freebie were in luck. I got a confirmation by email yesterday that my free SIM will arrive in 5-10 days (same wording as website), except this email seems to be PM's standard message for a CPO order as the free SIM is mentioned as an addition to "my order".

@dabr wrote:@kaytus Well, that's not great for anyone who received this text offer suggesting that they had until end of this month to order it..
Hi @dabr the idea was good, but the execution failed
I think they should just say , buy a sim card now and get $10 back after activation. And of course, they need to fix the long delivery time to make such promo useful
I think many Community members stocked up instead of real activation. I doubt even 1% of those free cards turn into "gold" for PM

HI @kaytus Longer than usual.. it could take as many as 3 weeks, so, now as many as 3 months? LoL
03-16-2023 02:04 PM
OK. I never got that offer anyway...
03-16-2023 01:56 PM
Hi Memebrs,
The free SIM card offer Ended.

HI @Nezgar I guess RFD effect. free no more, supposed to be till March 31
03-14-2023 07:30 PM - edited 03-14-2023 07:41 PM
Yup I ordered one too, can't beat this deal!
Subtotal : $0.00 CAD
Shipping : $0.00 CAD
Total : $0.00 CAD
I see this has already been posted as a "red hot deal" on redflagdeals, so I hope this doesn't blow up and Public Mobile retracts the offer too soon from thousands of orders from unexpected interest!
Though I guess it's also a great marketing stunt to get SIM cards out there ready to be used / referred / etc.
Edit: Hehe, if you right click on the "1" item count in the cart, and choose "inspect element" - you can see the shopify cart as of 5:41PM CST already says "-3276" stock... I guess meaning over 3000 people have already put in an order. This could be interesting!

@kaytus look like free sim card for everyone..
03-14-2023 03:48 PM
@kaytus I've not received any text offer but @hTideGnow (can't seem to tag username) has posted that it's available on PM's website and free delivery too. Will order mine now.. 😊

@HALIMACS here is the screenshot:
03-14-2023 03:40 PM
It is free and shopping free. I bought it on the publicmobile website. When u updated the cart. it showed $0 dollar.
I ordered one.
No credit card information needs to provided.
03-14-2023 03:06 PM
Hmmm, sounds good as long as you don’t give any CC information.
03-14-2023 02:40 PM
@kaytus free and no purchase necessary??
03-14-2023 02:38 PM
@kaytus - nice. Wonder if this was targeted. I haven't seen a text like this yet...
03-14-2023 02:27 PM
well, that sounds good, but honestly almost too good to be true.
Are you certain the message was from public mobile and not from someone trying to scam your personal information?
Can you take a screenshot of the message you received, removing any reference to your own personal information, and post it here?
If it was a text, from what four digit number did the text come from?
