@hedgie

if you prefer to keep the same phone number ,no change needed.

~~In fact, since you have an AB phone number and PM charges tax based on the phone number area code, so, you can still enjoy cheaper tax from your AB phone number while you are in BC~~

but if you like to change to a BC number, you will need to go to My Account, Profile page and update phone number there and choose a new BC number (and then PM will charge tax based on BC rate with a BC phone number)

Update: reed the wrong province.. LoL

As mentioned, if you want to keep your phone number, no changes are needed.

Might be easier to change to Saskatchewan number. Some landlines would have to pay long distance to call your BC number in Saskatchewan. However, most mobile phone numbers have Canada wide calling these days.

You could also change your physical address on the PM website. Don't really need to since Public mobile does not check address anyways.

Keep in mind that the taxes in Saskatchewan is cheaper by 1%…5% GST+6%PST = 11% but you can keep your existing number and pay 12%.
