Nice offer but how's the shipping these days? A few weeks ago people posting on the forums that it was taking 2/3 weeks to receive.

During that time Canadia Cell Supplies had PM sims for $1.99 and received in 3 business days the ones I ordered.

SIM cards are something that new customers only pay for relunctantly. While $5 is bettter than $10, I don't feel that this will attract new customers. Permanent offers are of much more value to customers than small, one-time or temporary discounts.

This should have been paired with a plan promo. $5 for a SIM is not much of a promo when retailers sometimes sell them for even less.

Always good to have some savings. One can buy the sim and hold onto to until a great plan promo comes along.

I would say that we shouldn't get to excited about $5 sim cards. A $5 sim card or even free sim card doesn't mean a lot without a good promotion to pair it with. Sadly for potential customers, Public Mobile has been seriously lacking in good promos for most of the year.

They’re $5 on Amazon as well, I ordered one last night and it was here today.

That really isn't a good representation of expected delivery amount of time. On Amazon, these SIM cards would either be shipped by a third party seller or by Amazon directly. As such the processing time may vary, along with the shipping method compared to if you purchased directly from Public Mobile.

If you have Prime, it’ll tell you exactly when it’ll arrive.

I am an Amazon customer. However, the SIM cards are no longer $5 there. The $5 price is also scheduled to be ending shortly for publicmobile.ca purchases as well.
