@kevinbryan You'll need to login into your self serve account and select either Quick Links or Profile and then click the Change SIM option and follow prompts. If you put your account into Lost/Stolen mode when you lost the SIM, you'll need to now Resume Service again as well.

Once you've updated the SIM card, you number will be attached to the new SIM. Just reboot after logging out as well.

@kevinbryan

It is best that you contact by creating a ticket on SIMon Chatbot on the bottom of the page or private message on the envelope icon above and have your phone Blacklisted.

You can switch the SIM card by login to your account and go to the Profile section and click on Change SIM Card number.

@kevinbryan You don't need your account number to change the SIM which can be done by logging into your account and shouldn't require customer support help either as it's fairly simple process.

edit: Yes, you'll keep your number after updating the SIM card in the account.

@kevinbryan

I hope you're not trying to activate the new SIM card?

If so, stop before you go any further.

If you activate a new SIM card your prior number attached to the lost SIM card will not be able to be transferred to the new activated SIM card and you will have created an extra account for no reason.

@kevinbryan - you are new to the Community. How long ago have you activated this account?

Was it in store, back when they were doing activations in store? Then, do you recall ever having created a Self Serve/My Account before?

If so, you need your email and password entered here to log in: https://telusidentity.telus.com/as/authorization.oauth2?response_type=code&client_id=cc26d3b9-3370-4d0c-a591-ae94d713186e&state=ygloLAPVUIvfXFENqj8pIT97&response_mode=query&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fselfserve.publicmobile.ca&nonce=ED1CDEUiDa5AR2FB8h7xQDp1&scope=openid%20profile%20email%201965%201966%201967%201968%201969%201970%201971%201972%201975%201977%201979%20S-1%201995

If having issues with your password, use the Forgot your password option to reset it, found here: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/forgot-password

If a My Account was never created, and you are a current customer (have been active within 90 days), you can submit a ticket here to: Create or forgot My Account email or password link
