I am currently using freedom mobile and I want to change to public. How can I do that? Is there any fee related? Thank you!

You should buy sim card. No other fees. In some stores sim card could be free. I think, the easiest way but not the fastest - buying it on amazon.

After that you should register your sim and transfer your number (if you want). It is free, you pay only for your plan.

There are no fees. You will be required to purchase a new PM sim card. Everything you are going to need to know is here Remember when you sign up to use a referral code to earn a $10 credit which will cover the cost of the sim card!!

If you are coming from a postpaid Freedom Mobile account, one thing to get use to will be that you need to pay for the new plan at Public Mobile immediately.

If you decided to transfer to your number from Freedom to Public, remember to include the DBC part as part of your acccount number as that part is required.

@metalstone Hello,

First, you will need to get a Public Mobile Sim card. There are a few options to buy one.

1) You can order it online from Here.

2) Easier to just go to Walmart or London drugs and pick up a sim card. Do the activation yourself when you get home and don't forget to enter a referral code to receive a $10 bonus.

If you are going to be keeping the phone number you have with Freedom Mobile.

I recommend before switching/porting your phone number read this article so you won't run into any problems.

Hope this helps

It sounds as though most Walmart's will give you the SIM card for free if you let them do the activation which simplifies the process for you. London Drigs May match that if you are in one of the four western provinces and generally new customers seem happier with LD than Wal-Mart. You can still use your referral code if a dealer does the activation for you, just remember to mention that you have one to them. Finally... you might want to watch fir a new customer promo here and switch then. Promos come around fairly often.

Just one more thing to think about:

Better to wait for the end of your month period in Freedom mobile. Make your transfer 2-3 days prior your plan cycle restart (just to have some time in case of any transfer problems).
