You will have to buy another one for your Android phone, you can do so by logging into the Public Mobile App then going to Account then Purchase SIM card, then click eSIM and continue to payment then you should be able to use it as your new SIM. eSIM to eSIM is not free and eSIM to Physical SIM is not free.

If you want to buy a Physical SIM instead then do the same steps but select the Physical SIM option (note: Physical SIM allows you to switch devices for free by swapping SIM card, unlike eSIM). If you decide to buy an Physical SIM then you can buy of of places like Amazon or your local stores, it may be cheaper and its quicker. If you do buy a Physical SIM then you will need to change your SIM card number on your account to the Physical SIM on the card. You can do that in the app also under the Change Your SIM Card.

@Kevinisland, after installing the PM app onto your new phone all you need to do is purchase another eSIM and when you go to pay it should be free since you already had one. But, if you really want to have a physical SIM card instead, you will need to pay for it, you can either buy one in person at a Telus/Koodo or Mobile Klinik store near you OR you can buy one from Amazon and if you have Prime it will ship free and arrive the next day. Try to avoid buying a SIM card directly from Public Mobile as it will likely take 1 week and worse case unto 3 weeks to arrive.
