 Got this text today anyone can explain whats all about ??????

It’s generic.  But am wondering as Telus owns PM is it a generic Telus text, that more than covers what PM would need to do on their own. Ie I am suggesting that in some cases the Telus and PM databases are  combined to keep it simple. I do recall same on my Telus prepaid phone account and just assumed that I also had Telus TV and internet as well, of which I do.

To date since joining I have recieved them on August 20th 2019, November22nd 2019, February 21st 2020 and a little out of sequence June 5th 2020. I don't remember ever getting one with telus, fido or freedom but they were also all post paid plans.

Is this really news?

@Anonymous respectively: I believe so, though it would seem the last one I received was in Dec 2017, prior to moving from PM to Koodo early the following spring; I thought so, but maybe it only is required for pre-paid plan types?; and no--not at all.

I get them on a couple accounts every 2-4 months. Have done since I started here 2 years ago.

Admittedly, I don't recall getting them back in Telus days before I got here. And one of my phones still has items from before I got here. So I'm a packrat...what'r'y'gonna do 🙂

Maybe it was more recent that this notice had to be sent out. And the earlier 2018 ones didn't have French (to an English account).

I posted because I had imagined that surely everybody gets them from all providers these days.

When I received it I only saw the first couple of lines on my pop-up. For a split second there I was wondering what I did wrong that there was a complaint. 😁

@jedjammer Moderartors cannot do anything about this message. Public Mobile sends this text message out to all customers. Your only options are to ignore or block the message using your device's text messaging settings.

This is a regulatory requirement I believe.  Sort of a know your rights thing.

@fdrcamb519  That is a standard text that is sent out every few months to all customers and is a requirement by regulations.

[computergeek541 · Accepted solution]

That is a standard text message that gets sent out to customers. Public Mobile doesn't offer tv services. They are considered a telecom provider.
