No reply from CS agent

My god! Sent message to CS agent yesterday and this morning again, but received no reply at all!

Paid subscription last weekend and chose eSIM, but later was told by its agent that they actually has no eSIM service. So ordered physical SIM and received it yesterday. Now I want to activate it, and they don't reply! It's unimaginable they don't respond for such long time given the fact they do not offer phone call service either.

There can be a delay waiting for a response if they are busy. I believe you should be able to activate your SIM by signing in to your account.

On either my PM app or on my web account, I was locked in eSIM activation without any other options. The screenshot you provided is not available to me after I logged into my account.

@richardsmile Ok so you will need to wait for support to reply back to you , they can sim swap the number for you to the physical sim you have on hand . Just keep an eye on your community inbox for a response. Also note it can take 2-4 hours to get a reply from them

I sympathize - similarly told my phone was esim compatible when it is not, and i can't even order a physical sim - the system keeps asking me to "activate" the esim which it then says can't be activated! Did manage to get hold of a person who tells me i need to "empty my cache" in order to order a sim card but that is not working. So this is all making me think i need to pull myself and my kids off Public Mobile, despite fact that they have not had issues. I want us all with the same company who will actually provide some bare standard of service

I ordered SIM card via Amazon for 2 day delivery. SIM card is not an issue, but the service of PM is a real concern.

I am not a techie - i thought i had to get a sim card from Public Mobile specifically. I can use any Sim card? Can i just pop one in from an old phone? (sorry to bother you, but you were kind enough to respond with an option i did not remotely consider!)

No, you need to order a Public Mobile SIM card from anywhere available. I chose Amazon.ca

@GladstoneHome You don’t have to get the SIM card from PM you can order one from Amazon like @richardsmile did only $4.99 there right now . But it has to be a PM SIM card . Can’t be from another provider . You can also call around to local Telus Koodo store to pick one up too .

You need a PM eSIM or a PM physical sim. You can’t use another provider’s sim. Aside from getting it from PM (cause it’s free for now), you can get one from Amazon or a Telus store in your area.
