How do I stop public mobile from spamming my inbox?

I disagree with you.

 

@will13am's response about blocking the e-mails so that any further messages go into your junk mail folder is appropriate.

 

Public Mobile doesn't e-mail customers for any reason after the initial activation.  Even when you make a payment, change plans, or even with the annoucement of price changes, they don't send customers e-mail messages.  And, even if they did, it could quite possibly be from a different address anyway.

 

So, if you block the further welcome messages, or even all future messsages from that e-mail address, you're not missing out on anything - problem solved.  The other alternative is to contact the moderators here and wait a few days for a response, and then for them to potentionally forward the issue to another department  and have it possibly take weeks to fix.  In the meanwhile, you would keep receiving the unwanted messages. 

 

 


None of what you said is true or accurate.


I have a lot of respect for a long-time member like computergeek541 but yes technically...Public Mobile will send password requests using that from address. But in fairness to him, that had been prompted by the user...not just sent out unrequested.

The rest is a valid response to the problem. Of course I'd rather ask them to stop it at the source as I suggested. 🙂


Fair enough about the password request e-mail, but that is not something that is received as the norm.  I'm also uncertain as to whether it originates from the same e-mail address.

 

However, my statement to the OP stands. I've been a customer more than 2 years and have never received a single e-mail message from them, not even for things that they probably should.

 

 

Cleo, a couple of people have suggested sending the e-mails to your spam box. I agree that's not ideal, but it is a fix that will solve the issue immediately. And like I said, you're not missing out of anything by doing that.  If you don't like the advice given or don't wish to take those steps, that's your choice.

 

In the end, your choices remain the same:  contact the moderators and wait for them to hopefully fix the e-mail issue for you, or just block the e-mail messages/have them filtered as junkmail.  I've said my piece and wish you the best.

Again, setting that to go to the spam filter is very bad advice. I don't want to miss all notifications. Just the duplicates. Anyways, I'm considering this thread complete.


Yes, I agree with you, that was what I was saying! Sorry may not have explained that clearly before.

Everything is working fine. Just getting tons of emails. I sent a pm to the mods. Maybe they'll be able to do something.

Is your service completely activated and useable?

Has your self Serve account been setup completely? Try accessing it.

 

Thinking maybe it is someway reminding you to do something!

 


 


Yeah, if everything is fine then contacting the mods as @Anonymous mentioned is the best route. Putting the address in your spam filter would direct all mail there.

Please take time to update us with the fix so we will be better able to assist others with the same issue.

 

If either response to your particular request leads to the resolution of your issue , please help other community members by marking that post as the solution. Thank You

The thing is to determine if it is actually coming from PM. Copying and post one of the emails and include the address, it may not be PM and if it is not then I would suggest what will mentioned.

Well...it's not spam. But obviously something is tripped up in their system. You would need the mods to fix that.

 

Send ONE (1) private message to them here and include your phone number and PIN to minimize back and forth identity verification delays.
Forget your PIN? Then you'll need 3 of either of these pieces of information you used when you signed up: full address, birthdate, last 4 digits of CC you might have used, email address on the account, alternative phone number you might've entered when you signed up. Or, in addition, either of these to get to 3: last payment amount and date, last add-on bought and date.
And of course your question/problem.
Then hopefully they will get back to you as soon as they can between M-F 9-9 (ET) and Sat-Sun 9-7:30 (ET). But it could be up to a couple days.
Depending on your notification settings, you would get an email notifying you of a reply. Get back here and see a red blob over the little envelope in the upper right of your screen and click on it to see the message.
