Happy Holidays from Public Mobile!

By david | Posted December 24th, 2011

It’s that time of year, when people reflect on the year that was. Here at Public Mobile 2011 was a great year for us, and we’d like to thank you, our customers, for that. We are very grateful and would like to wish you and your family the very best of this Holiday Season and on into 2012.

Just a couple of quick notes that might help you over the next two weeks:

Did you get a Public Mobile phone in your stocking this year? You can follow these steps on or after Dec. 24th to set up your phone and get talking!

If you received a Grab and Go phone, follow the instructions in the package. Grab and Go phones are identified by Grab and GO stickers on the packaging.

If you received a phone purchased at a store, but not yet activated:

  1. Insert and charge the battery for your new phone. Once fully charged, turn the phone on.
  2. Check your signal bars to be sure you are in the coverage area.
  3. Dial *228 and then press SEND (the green phone icon). The Max and 762, because they are Android Smartphones are slightly different, you should press the Android.
  4. Listen for a voice message confirming you are set up.

Our regular Call Centre hours have been adjusted with the holidays over the next two weeks. Here are the hours we will be open:

  • Saturday December 24th: 9am – 6pm
  • Sunday December 25th: Closed
  • Monday December 26th: 9am – 5pm

Best wishes for the holidays, and for the New Year!

What a weekend in Châteauguay! Public Mobile’s newest store is now open and we brought hockey legend Guy Lafleur along to celebrate.

The event was a huge success, with over 250 excited hockey fans in attendance. We handed out cards so that fans could get an autograph although many brought their own memorabilia for Guy to sign! He was also happy to pose for photos with some of our lucky customers.

Have a look at our album on Facebook to see photos of the event!
