Refer a Friend Contests

[hairbag1]

Have we heard any info on if / when winners were selected and awarded their prize yet ? Looks like contest closed March 15th with winners to be drawn April 11, but I can't find any info after the announcement.

I am surprised that Andu of all people would ask that since it has no relevance to the situation! I guess we will just keep wondering if anyone won. Maybe whoever the customers were that may have won the 2 iPhones didn’t win due to they answered the mathematical question incorrectly, had the incorrect emails on the accounts, left Public Mobile or something else! 🤔

I received a reply back. You just have to sit back and laugh. I replied back asking why Andu requires this information.

Re: Referral Contest Winners

Hi Chalupa_Batman,

Thanks for reaching Public Mobile. This is Carol and  I'll be more than happy to help you with your concern today.

We will notify each the winners to their own emails, the details of the winners are not available on our end to share with other customers.

You can see the information of the contest in the following link:

Here is my response.

Hi Carol,

Thank you for reaching out to me. However, by not sharing this information with the general public, it looks highly questionable. Any contests by today's standards have rules and laws to follow sharing winners names so there's no appearance of improprieties. There are several in the community here feel there was no actual prize to win. You have to see this, sorry, Public Mobile has to see this from our point of view as a customer's or "contest entrances".  Public Mobile is saying blindly "Trust Us".  Public Mobile has lost a lot of credibility and trust over the last year. More so in the last 3 months. 

Thank you.

@hairbag1 , I have been wondering the same! Maybe it isn’t announced & only the people who won will know.
