I vought a new unlocked cell phone but damaged my SIM when transferring. SIM cards can no longer be bought locally. My cell phone is down until I receive the new SIM in the mail. ( 5 to 7 business dayx) according to Public Mobile. GREAT I hope no one calls or text me

All i have to say is thank god for companies like Bell.

Depending on your location, Amazon may offer next day delivery as a Prime member (trial membership is free). Please be aware that no all sellers of these Public Mobile SIM cards are authorized retailers, but in the past Public Mobile has sold directly and had Amazon ship them.

Shoot! That really sucks! If you are willing to switch to Lucky Mobile, you can get a SIM for $4 at Dollarama. That is the quickest and the cheapest option..... However, if you want to stay with PM, then Amazon Prime would be the best bet.

Update, Amazon is completely sold out of Public SIM cards because of a recent particular promo. So you might be out of luck.

You can buy a SIM from Amazon, Telus/Koodo store or PM.

Meanwhile, if you can connect to wifi, you can use WhatsApp or TextNow app for free text and talk.

Just to say, you could also buy the Lucky SIM, sign up with a new # for $15 (either 100min and 250MB, or 750MB) and get out within a month. No you won't get incoming calls and texts (and you mentioned that) but at least you'll have service of some kind. Don't think you can beat it for cost.
