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!

And that usually goes hand in hand with Back to School shopping: a new wardrobe, new shoes, new school supplies and countless other things. To help you keep your budget on track, we’ve been posting useful tips on our Facebook page throughout the week. If you missed them or need to consult them once again, here they are:

Top 5 Back to School Budget Tips for Parents Presented by Public Mobile

1. Have a game plan

Make a list of all Back to School items that you think your child will need. This will help control your spending and ensure that you stay on top of your budget.
2. Shop alone

The best way to stick to your list is to shop alone. This will help avoid a cart full of unnecessary items and separate the wants from the needs.
3. Recycle supplies

Re-use what you can. If the binder, backpack or pencil case are all still in good shape, don’t toss them in the garbage just yet. See what supplies you have from last year and salvage what you can.
4. Prepare lunches

This is a great way to satisfy your wallet and your children’s appetites. There are tons of great recipe ideas online that are affordable, healthy and delicious!
5. Choose a cell phone that’s right for you

What can really make your heart stop is your child’s mobile phone bill. To avoid any surprises, do your research and buy a plan that is right for you. Public Mobile offers a wide variety of unlimited and affordable mobile phone services with no contracts or credit check.

The 12th edition of the event was a huge – and delicious – success! Approximately 200,000 people were in attendance, all of them there to connect with the community and to take part in cultural activities. 45 local restaurants provided samples of their finest lasagna, lamb skewers, meatball sandwiches and fresh crêpes. The event also featured performances from aboriginal, jazz and independent musicians adding to the lively atmosphere!

What makes this kind of event particularly special for us is that we get to connect with the community, meet new people and learn more about what matters to them.

If you attended the ‘Taste of Little Italy’ event, please write in and tell us about some of the highlights!PUM62_COLLAGE_JULY6

Let’s talk about a career in advertising.

If you’ve seen Public Mobile’s advertising campaign you know that we’d rather show super people than supermodels. And our new campaign is no different. Except this time, we’re giving you a chance to be a part of it.

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Send a photo of you, in your best ‘Unlimited’ pose, to iwanttobeunlimited@publicmobile.ca. Make sure we can see you clearly in the picture. From the waist-up would be perfect.
  • Include your first and last name, your phone number and the city you live in.
  • The photograph you submit will not be used, under any circumstances, without your permission. All submissions will be permanently erased once the final selection is made.
  • Persons under 18 will require parental consent to participate in the photo shoot.
  • We’ll contact you to let you know if you’ll be included in this upcoming campaign.
  • If you are included, we’ll contact you to provide all the details you’ll need to know about what happens next.

Thank you so much for wanting to be a part of this great campaign. We’ll talk to you soon.

We are very proud of the progress that our company has made in the past year and, more importantly, of the relationships we’ve built with our customers and employees.

Your commitment and support, as well as our own, has allowed us to stay competitive in this challenging market and to provide you with plans and products that truly make it possible for everybody to talk.

We also feel very fortunate to have been involved with youth programs in communities we service. To date we’ve sponsored 120 local soccer teams, donated 5,000 back-to-school kits to elementary and high school students, as well as supporting community initiatives with phones, monthly phone service and charitable donations.

But it doesn’t end there. With a successful first year under our belt, we are more motivated than ever to continue changing our country’s telecommunications industry for the better. As Public Mobile’s CEO Alek Krstajic said, “we serve the needs of hard-working Canadians and we’re always looking for new and exciting ways to give back to the communities that have been a constant source of support.”

On behalf of everyone at Public Mobile, thank you.
