Additional sim card for same number

Jeet — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 17:33:32 GMT

Is it possible to get another sim card for same number so that I can use it at home?

@Jeet It is not possible to have the same number assigned to more than one sim card.

Unfortunately, you can have only one phone# per account and sim. You would need to purchase a second sim and setup another account with a different email.

Ok.. I feel that might increase the use of public mobile service..

Hi @Jeet ,

You have the ability to change your SIM # on your self serve account, if this is of interest to you; see "Change Sim Card".

This customer wants more than one sim card with the same phone number and in different devices at the same time.

Hello Jeet,

It is a complex and legally questionable process to clone and have a duplicate SIM Card so the real answer to your question is NO. Public Mobile and Canadian Telcos do not sell duplicate SIM cards or allow multiple Sim Cards to have the same prime number.

There are lots of ways to use features to have the calls show up where you want them to such as call forward to your house number. I suggest looking into those option vs chasing this thought further.

I concur the idea it would be nice to have a small shared pooled plan pricing vs per line.

Sorry

It would be also nice to have a data modem using an eSim or dup SIM that you could use in a location that shares the data from your main account. I have an apt that I dont use a lot so when I go there I just use my phone as hit spot for TV, computer etc. Would love to have a eSim router also for security devices etc. but using my same number. I had something like that in Singapore several years ago.
