Question About Referring and Number Porting/SIM

[QekaQ]

My mom, and grandmother want to switch to Public Mobile to save-up a bit on their monthly expenses.

How does the referring process work nowadays? Do we just go on the website and follow the sign-up process and there will be a referral code field available for my code during sign-up or is there a link that I have to provide them with?

I would have to purchase Public Mobile SIM cards as well and port their numbers as they both want to keep them. Number porting is still free, correct? Only cost is the SIM card?

Cheers!

@QekaQ 

yes, Account number is better, leave IMEI blank

and start the whole   activation process using app is safer

@QekaQ  Yes it just causes more issues and not even needed . Just use old providers account number and your good to go

Thanks @handa! So just leave IMEI blank?

@QekaQ  Based on recent posts do not activate any new account using the website. Download the app and activate with it.

@QekaQ  Porting is free yes and you can do it on activation with SIM card in hand . Or eSIM if you like and phone supports it . And when activating at payment page you will have an opportunity to put you referral code in so they save $10 and you get $1 /1point depending your rewards your on . Just be sure to only use there old providers account number and not phones IMEI as it’s not needed and can cause hiccups
