@ahsan_khan_46 Yep - that phone will work on PM without a problem, and you'll have access to both the 3G as well as 4G networks.

Here's a full list of the phone's specifications that show that both variants of this phone would support PM' 850/1900 MHz 3G network, and also its 1700 MHz FDD-LTE network:

Skype has a history of being extra buggy/laggy on BB. My brother always had an issue with skype on his Z10 couple of years ago.

I just did a quick search on the BB appworld for skype and its not even there. You will have to download it from skype.com.

Whatsapp should be fine, they are known to make a good app for all platforms. Its a good phone overall, however, you must find it for a very low price othewise go for an android alternative.

Skype has been moved from BlackBerry App World to Amazon App store. Which comes preloaded with OS 10.3 and up

yes that phone will work on the public mobile network, when I first signed up I was using a blackberry z30 unlocked phone, and it worked fabulously on the network!! Hope that helps and enjoy your public mobile service!! 🙂

One more question

After buying my cell phone

how much does it cost

What is the procedure to reactivate my no

Thanks

Hello,

The tri-punch SIM card is free. Go to the homepage, and click the order link. You will be required to create a MyShopify account before ordering. In approximately 3 to 7 business days, your card will be delivered by your Canada Post letter carrier.

In order to reactivate your number, purchase a plan if your account has been in expired status for 90 days or less. If it's been longer than 90 days, your account was deleted and deactivated, and your number lost forever. If this is the case, you are no longer considered a PM customer, and must start the entire process of becoming a customer once again.

FYI.

I appreciate for your help and quick response

Martin — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:32:25 GMT

Hi,

You can buy the phone and order the tri-punch SIM card at the same time. The SIM card is tri-punch, meaning that it contains all 3 sizes of cards. As I said, it's free.

If your account has been suspended for less than 91 days, log into your self-serve account, and purchase Talk, Text and/or Data. Before doing so, register a credit card in your account because the system will first debit your card and then provide service. (Remember that all of PM is pre-paid.)

If you have more questions, just ask!

Cheers.

@ahsan_khan_46 Just noticed you mentioned losing your phone. In that situation you should immediately log into your self serve account and suspend service under Lost/Stolen phone. Then go to the PM web site and order a new SIM card; it takes a few days to arrive. Then get your new phone so that you have it when the SIM arrives.

When you get the SIM go back into your account and register the new SIM. If your account is in good standing your plan will reactivate immediately, otherwise pay what is required. Put the new SIM in the your new phone, reboot it, and off you go.

Good luck.

@ahsan_khan_46 If you like VOIP apps have a look at Fongo; free calling and texting available.

I used to use Skype and WhatsApp on my old Z10 before moving to an Android phone. Should work fine.

The tri-punch SIM cards are convenient. For the Z10, you'll need the middle size (Micro SIM). However, be very carful if you ever need to remove the SIM card from your Z10. I had mine separate in the SIM slot and the adapter part got stuck. I managed to wreck a couple of the pins in the port trying to get the adapter piece out and now the phone is useless as a phone. Just a word of caution.

Hi @srlawren,

Though your phone has lost its primary purpose, you can still use it to surf the web on Wi-Fi.

I have 3 phones, of which only one has a SIM card and phone number. Aside from calling/texting, the 2 non-SIM phones are just as useful as the one with the card.

I hope that your Android works well. The OS of my 3 phones is Android, too.

This is true, @Martin. In fact I do use it as sort of an iPod Touch (I have an iPod Touch as well but it's an older one that is definitely underpowered, and stuck on really old iOS 6) and use it for music sometimes but mostly for downloading and listening to Howard Stern shows on demand using the Android SirisXM app. I used to use the Touch for it, but after a recent update the app got reallllly buggy and basically unusable. Probably due to the older iOS and lacking RAM and CPU, I'm guessing. I've also tried using my daily driver Android phone for this purpose (SiriusXM app), but I found whenever I had too many apps running it would get cycled out and back into memory and would lose it's place in the broadcast and start over from the beginning, which basically made it unusable, too. Having it on the Z10 seems to work well. It's stable, quick, has bluetooth (stream to car and headphones) and WiFi, basically does everything I need, even without a SIM. 🙂

@srlawren @Martin Wow I am really a luddite; sharing an iphone 5 with my partner otherwise just an ipod. And, unlike those with only phones I need an actual computer when my eyes are tired.

@Luddite You're not a luddite for that. I don't feel very comfortable browsing the web on my phone or on a tablet, either. And I consider myself to be extremely technolgy savvy.

This is an instance in which all those technology pundits from 5 years ago, proclaiming that the days of laptops were limited, were all terribly wrong. Tablet culture has matured now, and there's still very little way of a tablet replacing an actual laptop.
