She can try the SIM in her phone now and see if it's activated. Sometimes the card is successfully activated even when the website shows the error. If it's a session time-out then she would need to wait an hour and try again.

@danlee  That is a known problem with some phone numbers. My recommendation is to activate the sim card without entering the referral number and then ask your friend to message the moderators and they will apply the referral manually.  To contact Public Mobile click here. The link  sends you to the private message function and adds the moderator team as recipient for a private message. You just have to enter a title and text in the body of the message describing the problem and post. The message will be received by the moderator team and they will respond to it. You will receive the response in your private message inbox.

Moderators are available: M-F from 8 AM to midnight Eastern time and S-S from 8 AM to 10 PM Eastern time.

Note: Moderator Hours are subject to change, but you can always find the current times here

Please note that account verification may be required when contacting the Moderator Team

@danlee Wait an hour or so.  Also double check the sim number before cliking submit.

She doesn't need your referral code to purchase a sim.  She would enter your code when she is activating her sim.  Ask your friend to try a different browser or to open the browser in incognito or private mode.
