About the e-sim card

AnsonW — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 21:34:02 GMT

Hello,

I'm a user of the Public mobile, and I'm wondering whether the public mobile supports the e-sim card (aka virtual SIM card)? Because I just changed my phone and I hope to use an e-sim card....

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but Public Mobile doesn't support eSIM usage.

Only top tier providers like Telus and Bell offer it.

I hope you didn't get the phone hoping Public Mobile supported eSIM.

However, it would make much more sense for a provider like this to offer activating on an eSIM. Not sourcing, printing, stocking, shipping old timey physical cards. Or at least not doing that so much and focussing more on eSIM.

That isn't quite true as Lucky Mobile does allow use of eSIM.

I guess this is a good.. it will give pressure for PM to allow eSIM sooner. 🙂

I will have to move out of Public Mobile. This is frustrating to not have a simple eSIM even after all these years.
