lost SIM/ordering new SIM

kelleyc — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 09:30:45 GMT

I lost my SIM card while travelling overseas and I'm wondering if I order a new one and register it to my account whether I can keep my current plan and phone number?

Definitely! Once you receive the new SIM, log into self serve and change the SIM card on file with your new SIM card number and you will have your current plan and number back.

Hi, I'm going through the same thing...lost my iPhone 5s, with Public mobile sim...been member /client since August, 2014. I've been having trouble accessing account for last year or so, and again now, so changed my dot mac email: h_j_s@ma.com to more officious Bell one: hjsmtl@bell.net. I found another 5s- love the size, dimensions, and speed is more than adequate. Getting iPhone X next month, because of fantastic camera... will be ablle toditch Nikon DSLR, and just stick with lighter Sony Alpha for Pro, more serious work. When clients insist, etc. Now seem to be in community, for first time, but still can't seem to activate sim! Help!!! Either email will do, but prefer Bell account. Easier to set up on multiple devices, platforms. Mercy buckets!!! 😉

@HJS_MTL you replied to a solved thread that's been dormant for a month and a half, a lot of people probably didn't even look.

Sign into your self-serve account, go to Plans and Add-ons tab, then Change SIM card, and type in the new card number to activate it.
