Extra sim card

Risha70 — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 06:16:46 GMT

Hello, during my travel I thought tthat I lost my Public Mobile sim card when replacing it with a local one. When I got home I ordered and received a new one from Amazon, and then I found the old sim-card and I am using it right now. Is there any way to give the new, unopen sim card to somebody? Or do something useful with it? Thanks.

yes, if your new sim card was not activated or link to any account yet, you can give it to someone else

as long as it wasn't actually activated, then you can give it to someone for Xmas or whatever.

It is unopened/unactivated. How can that someone use it? Do I have to suggest that the person shouold first subscribe to Public mobile? Or the existing subscriber can somehow use it?

an unopened sim card itself is not linked any account, ie, although you ordered the sim card, it is not link to your account at all.

So, if your friend want to join PM, give it to your friend and ask him to subscribe using PM app. Step 2 of the activation will ask for sim card number and he can use the sim card number from this unopened, unused sim card

Or f you have a friend or family member who is an existing subscribers and happens to have lost his/her sim card, you can also give him/her this unopened sim card. All your friend need to do is to login his/her My Account and go to Profile page to update his sim card number

Simply give it (or sell it) to your friend and they will activate it on a new account. During the activation process, they'll enter that sim number. EZPZ
