@Jofranarc 

Can you provide a link to the promo?

We had a similar one with 1 gig and 400 long distance just before winter holidays, but it has expired on 3rd of January.

It's possible that there are more out there not announced here.

If you pass us the link to the rumor we may figure out how to get it

Cheers

This offer is only for this in Alberta and BC. If you are elgiible for those free add-ons, you will have received a text message about it.

You should get a text message telling you how to get the offer. If you didn't get the text message, you don't get the promo. AFAIK, this promo is for AB and BC only.

@Jofranarc what are you talking about? Thanks. 

[gpixel]

@ShawnC13 did you get a text yet?

[rossputin]

Curious, why did they do this?  Corporations aren't known for their benevolence.

@gblackma Public Mobile doesn't usually announce regional promotions as a matter of company policy due to the confusion that it might create.  That was the official stance not long ago. Julia_T, please feel free to correct me if that has changed.

@Julia_T shouldn't you announce that this is an offer here in the community? Thanks.Stay safe.

Hi, Public Mobile. I just received a text from number "5179" which indicated I can have a free one-time 5GB of data. I have to reply "YES" by August 24 to claim the gift. Is this for real or is it a scam? Thanks for this. I live near Calgary in the 403 area code.

Nothing comes up in Google as it being a scam or not? 

Anyone else?
