Ok, so I sat down in front of my computer with my friend to help him sign up for Public Mobile. I did the typing, he did the watching. When I got to the page where you fill in all of your contact information and passwords pins and referral information I found that I got an error. The error went something like this: "The Number is not valid". As I looked around the page to find this apparent number that was not valid all I could boil it down to was my referral phone number. I reluctantly deleted my phone number from the page and would'nt you know, the **bleep** thing worked!!
I joined Public Mobile back in April 2016 with a 90 day plan and a port of my old Wind Phone Number. My number has been a Public number for a good 6 months now and is certainly a valid Public Mobile phone number. I have been telling lots of people about public for these same months now and have been getting nothing for it and now I think I know why. This is so un-cool it’s hard to express. I happen to run a cell phone repair shop and work hard at showing people how much they can save on their monthy bills and I use my public bill as the ear catching example. It does'nt take much of an imagination to realized I actually really honestly have told a lot of people about Public Mobile, it makes me very upset to know it has all been for NOT.
I have seen the posts that state that once a person has been activated nobody can back date a referral for them. I think this is partially un-cool too. Although I see that backdating a referral for “anybody” on the system that forgot to input a referral during signup is very reasonable, there should be at least a one / two week window of time where a person could request to back date a referral. On top of that, dare I say, "The System Should Work", or am I asking too much!? Why should the customers of Public Mobile suffer because the company they believed in and trusted to provide promotions and services as they advertise, does not provide those promotions/services correctly? Please someone with authority answer this question for me.
You guys managed to get your heads around the "SIM Card Payment Thing", now let’s see if you can figure out that your referral rewards program needs to Actually Really Work. Big Sigh..
