@Adrianne if you are close to southwestern Ontario I can ship one to you. But as @gblackma said they are only 3 bucks right now at that site. I have purchased from there before so it is legit. You can pay with paypal.

Are you trying to ship it outside of Canada as a ZIP code is for the US and PM doesn't ship outside of the country

Thanks for the suggestion. however, I thought that SIM cards were specific to the mobile service provider. How can I know that the 'public Multi SIM card' (as it says in the link) will work with Public Mobile ?

@Adrianne there are 3 different sizes of SIM cards, all the current phones use one of these 3 sized SIM cards. The 3 in 1 is a convenient way to ship them. It will fit your phone. Also, Canadian Cell Supplies they ship Canada wide. Your SIM card will look like this.

See the 3 different sizes regular, micro and nano. Stay safe

@Adrianne Public Mobile only issues and supports one type of sim card (tri-punch). You can purchase the sim card from the Public Mobile website or Amazon.ca . There are also third party resellers that sell cards like the ones mentioned in this thread. Make sure you do not purchase a card from anyone that wants to activate the card on your behalf for your protection.

@Adrianne if you feel some hesitancy than you can contact a moderator to fill your SIM card order. And the order screen is not working for you. Only directing you here because you seem to have an issue with your postal code.

Click on this link here and ask to order a SIM https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

it takes 24 to 48 hours, but usually they will respond quite quickly.

You can also order them through amazon.ca.

@Adrianne

I bought some SIMs from Canadian Cell supplies. Other people like @fdrcamb519 and others have bought from them and have had no issues.

I will let you know my experience if I receive my SIMs

@Naepalm PM's official site accepts PayPal too, but never discounts the SIM from PM's official price.

Seems to be a current bug. Wonder if postal code without a space helps, as it does with registering credit cards in self-serve?

@benfatto I think I knew that lol. Thanks for the reminder though. 🙂

Public Mobile actually has directly sold sim cards at a discount before.

If you're mailing it as a letter, being in Ontario or not shouldn't make a difference. It would cost the same no matter where the other person is in Canada.
