Limited Time Offer for Freedom Mobile Customer

[JohnF]

Hi : I just like to find out if this scenario would work for the promotion.

 I would like just do the activation for the sim card and selct a temporary phone number first. Then I port my Freedom number some other day before the end day June 30.

Thanks

@mikga,

Agreed.

It's too bad as my son always wants to switch to PM and he's been waiting for the promo as my daughter has the same plan only $120 12GB LTE province wide for 90 days. I missed the promo as didn't know that at all. Suggested that PM should have sent email notifications to PM users to avoid us missing the NEWS!!!! But they never do it.

No. It has gone the way of the dodo bird, likely never to be seen again... unless FM snatches too many of Telus/PM's customers.

[mikga]

Is this promo still on for freedom customer switch to PM?

Please let me know aspa.

Thanks

I do not think Shazia_k has read the message.

Hi Shazia : I sent you a private message yesterday to let you know I ported my Freedom phone number after I activated my account earlier. Please add the 6 GB to my plan accordingly.

Thanks

This has beeen discussed before by a few people.  People in those locations often cannot make local calls.  Public Mobile's system checks to see if the phone call that you are making is within the same province, and if it isn't, the call won't go through.

Unfortunately, this means that while Public Mobile's network sees or thinks that you are in Gatineau, you will not be able to receive any phone calls, and you will not be able to call back to Ottawa either.

You'll probably want a Canada-wide calling plan instead.

Hey guys, 

yes, as @NDesai mentioned, It's possible as long as you are in the promo period! 🙂

Cheers, 

Shazia

@imm1304 @JohnF Seems like it's possible according to this reply from Marie.

Hey @JohnF,

My understanding is that you have to port the Freedom number during activation.  Thats how PM will track that you have migrated from Freedom for this promo.  

Lets get our awesome mod @Shazia_K to confirm.
