Reusing Old SIM Card for New Number

ComicCuriosity — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 14:04:22 GMT

Hi, guys, is it possible to use an old expired SIM card for a new number? I have an old SIM card from Public, but the number has expired since I haven’t used it for 8 months now. Is it possible to register a new number with the same SIM card, or do I have to order a new SIM card for the new number?

@ComicCuriosity

You will have to purchase a new SIM card and activate. If your phone supports esim you can choose that too.

Hello @ComicCuriosity

Sadly once a SIM card has been used, you'll have to purchase a new one. Best option is to contact your local Telus stores to see if they have one or off Amazon.

Amazon

HI @ComicCuriosity

you cannot reuse old sim. You have to buy a new one. get a new PM sim card from Telus or Koodo store or Amazon.

and if you phone supports, you can also use eSIM

@ComicCuriosity don't buy one. If you live in the Lower Mainland (BC), I be more than happy to give you a new, unused SIM card for free. I got a few extra ones, in hopes to getting people to sign up. But, I rather give it away for FREE. I can even mail it too as well. Just send me a DM, and I will drop it in the mail box for you as well!

That is very nice of you@ulearn. I always keep 2 sim cards with me cause I have friends and relatives who come for visit and I just registered their phone with PM. It comes handy

@captaincool , that is a brilliant idea for out-of-towners! I never thought of that for those who are visiting for a few months! I love that idea!

Just got a new sim offer Amazon. Does this mean I need to sign up with a new email for the account as well?

If you already signed up for your account, not need to. Just log in your account and follow the register of sim number
