Special offer?

I just got a text message claimed to be Public Mobile, saying there is a special deal for me for $40 for 15GB. It asked me to reply "Yes" to accept it. I believe it is SCAM and can hack in my phone if I do it. Anyone receiving a similar text message?

@Karin2   You need to click the down arrow to the right of the plans.

@Karin2   Yes login to your account to change to this offer.  Make sure to select Change at Next Renewal as PM doesn't prorate for unused days left in your current cycle.  Also, select the correct $40 plan as there are two for the same price.

It shows up in the background but when I scroll over to it the mouse fades away 🙂 and it won't let me click on it

You just need to go to "change plans" and then there will be one for changing to $40 and 15GB. I just changed myself

I pay $60 for this plan on 3G. Am I eligible for the $40 offer? I can see it in my account but I can't click on it.

HI @timchoy711   the deal is real.. but is the text real?  What happen if people reply YES?  how PM knows if you want to change on next renewal or change now?  Weird

Hi, 

I received the same memo and it’s legit. Public mobile uses SMS as a method to update you on the latest features and plan options. You can always reply “STOP” if you don’t like receiving those memos, however then you won’t get possible bonus deals.

Is there a catch with this offer? I received the same text but with no context, is this only for a limited time only? 

@timchoy711 , if you select change plan and select the 4G plans and scroll through the list your will see it there. The plan is not listed in the community links.

@timchoy711 When you go to change plans, there's 2 $40 options, select the 15 GB one.

I received the same text message too. If you're interested in the offer, maybe it's better to schedule the plan change in self-serve.
