That link will tell you where you can get a SIM locally. You can also order on Amazon and get it shipped to your house faster and usually cheaper than directly from PM

Hello @stranded_sailor

Here's a link to Amazon. Just note the price went back up to regular price. It was on sale for $4.99 for 2 weeks.

AMAZON

If you want to pick it up locally it's about $10. But make sure you call ahead first so you're not wasting gas and your time.

The only places you'll be able to Physically walk into a store to buy a Public Mobile SIM Card would be a Telus Corporate Store, or any Mobile Klinik. (Telus 4L/Dealers & Koodo Locations will not have SIM Cards so make sure to call and see if your closest Telus is a Corporate store or a dealer store before you go in, because dealer stores will not carry them.)

In my city (Winnipeg), we only have 3 Corporate Telus locations that carry Public Mobile SIM Cards, every Mobile Klinik also has them but no other dealers like Koodo Locations have had them since May when the change to EverSafe ID was made, all the dealer stores were removed as 'Authorized' for final.

(You can still find Public Mobile Vouchers at any 7-Eleven, but no Public Mobile SIM Cards there either. The Telus Corporate stores also have vohchers, not sure about Mobile Klinik.)

The Amazon sale is the best deal running right now, with fast delivery which many have provided the link Directly to.

However you can also buy one Directly from your Public Mobile Account using either Available Funds or the registered Credit Card on your Account using the link below. (Delivery takes around 1 week sometimes longer.)

Thank you I'm going to go the Amazon route cause there really is no place within several hours drive to buy one

Remember that once you get the SIM Card you must activate your service using the Public Mobile app on your device. Good luck and I hope PM works out for you 🙂

So my device won't actually download the app. Can I put the app on someone else's phone to finish and put Sim in my device to use?
