Buying a SIM Card.

Priority — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 04:22:42 GMT

Which Telus locations carry Public Mobile SIM Cards? Is it only Telus Corporate Stores, or would I also be able to find them at a 4L Communications Telus Dealer?

Thanks in advance.

@Priority

It is always best to call the Telus store you are interested in purchasing the SIM card to ensure it is in stock.

@Priority

not everyone can tell which one is "Corporate" store, so call and ask first

local Telus/Koodo/Mobile Klinik stores: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/pick-up-SIM (call ahead to confirm availability )

and also, why not buy from Amazon?

Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R6P5KBB/ (Free Prime Shipping)

last, not suggest to buy from:

PM online: https://www.publicmobile.ca/sim-card (Delivery could take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks)

Too bad Canadian Cell Supplies have been sold out for a long time. They normally gave good prices and fast shipping or pickup if you are in the Mississauga/Oakville area.

Two SIMs for $10.

Priority — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 06:44:48 GMT

What happened to Public Mobile selling two SIM Cards for the price of one?

I see they redesigned it and that may be why they were selling the old ones so cheap before this update, however is there still not any of the old ones left that could be sold still for that liquidation price of $10 for two?

I called every Telus Dealer (4L Communications) in my city this afternoon. None of them carry Public Mobile since the switch to 5G... so only the Corporate stores have them, Mobile Kninik also carrys them i learned.

That was a special price. Back to the regular price of $10. Not sure when they will have another promo on SIM cards. You can always wait for a price drop on amazon too.

@Priority no more $10 for two

There has been $10 for two , there has been $0 for 3 days, and $5 on Amazon (Sold by Public Mobile and not 3rd party) for sometime but everywhere is back to $10 now

And if you are planning to get new sim, it is advised to get it in person from stores or Amazon for quicker turnaround. Here are the places you can get:

local Telus/Koodo/Mobile Klinik stores: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/pick-up-SIM (call ahead to confirm availability )
Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R6P5KBB/ (Free Prime Shipping)

Keep in mind that the eSim is free... time limited ....

And there are some that offer free SIM cards.

Public Mobile SIM Card.

Amazon currently has Public Mobile SIM Cards for $4.99, its the classic design from before the update and thats not a problem since it will still work.

However: Dilemma is i cannot purchase more than 1pc.. why won't it allow me to buy 2, 3 or even 4?

From the Amazon Description • Although sporting our classic look, these SIM cards have no issues activating on Canada’s largest mobile network. Enjoy the freedom of no contracts, no credit checks and no surprise bills.

@Priority

If you are not in a rush, Canadian Cell Supplies online normally have them on sale for the same price and you can buy multiple amount.

Unfortunately, they are sold out at this time.

New SIM Card Design.

Priority — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 03:43:34 GMT

For anyone who is wondering what the new Public Mobile SIM Cards look like, i just purchased one from Telus and took pics of every part of it to share with The Community since I haven't seen anyone else who has done such.

The new SIM Removal tool built in is awesome!

Do you like the new & Improved design?

@Priority I like the new look and of course the SIM card tool is certainly a nice touch PM you rock !:)

@Priority

thanks for posting...but other than the addition of a sim key, looks the same. I always lose / misplace the dang key and end up using a straightened out paper clip. 🙄

Re: New SIM Card Design

softech — Sat, 08 Jul 2023 03:32:49 GMT

nice. Thanks @Priority

i still believe the reason we got some free sim earlier was PM trying to clear the stock of the old one. And there was brief time of sim delay, I guess the new one hasn't arrived yet 🙂

@hairbag1 , you could put the SIM removal tool on your key ring 🙂. I’ve had the same tool since 2014! I’ve been lucky so far, unless I just jinxed myself 🤣

The new SIM Card/Packet looks pretty, makes me think of Halloween for some odd reason 😂! It probably still works the same as the previous SIM Cards though so only upgrade would be the colours & the added tool! Although I won’t see the SIM card again after it is in my phone 🤣

Edit: I saw the new SIM Card design with the SIM removal tool on J_PM’s post “Join us at our upcoming Launch Events! “ last month in a reply from a retired Oracle @SD08 ! 😃

Public Mobile has changed the SIM card design a few times over the year and it has usually lined up with a some type of Community website re-design, or in this case, the Self Serve system overhaual and the indtroduction of 5G plans. Thansk for sharing your feedback. I first I saw of this SIM card design a few weeks ago when @SD08 posted some pictures of them in an Announcement thread. As for the SIM card tool, I see it as an unnecessary waste of money. These are included when a phone is purchased, and thesee tools will often be lost or just thrown out.

Nice. As for the SIM tool and whether it’s worth the cost, I don’t think we can judge. We don’t know how much it is costing PM (there may be a huge supply of cheap ones available, I’d suspect) and PM may have judged it worth the cost to avoid people buying SIMs and not being able to get the SIM into their home - especially if they bought a used phone that didn’t come with a too. Yes, paper clips work, but this is easier. I’d say “good job”.

I got this new SIM card for free a few weeks ago from PM. They were at Trillium park in downtown toronto and were giving away free sim cards, tote bags, and frisbees (all with PM labelling) as well as free food! Next time, you see PM around your neighbourhood, be sure to stop by and say hi for some freebies 🙂
