UPDATE: VANCOUVER IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT.
Hey Community,
There are only 2 more days left for you to take advantage of our 4G/ $40 promotional plan. Since time is short, we are doing a couple of things to help you get your SIM cards prior to the promo ending, and so that we level-set on expectations.
We are temporarily stopping SIM cards shipments.
Unfortunately, you’ll need to come back to order SIM cards next week since we’ve temporarily stopped shipping SIM cards. Why? We thought you’d want to know. It’s simple: any SIM cards that are ordered now will not make it into your hands before the end of our promotion (Sunday, November 20 at 11:59pm) and we don’t want you to get your hopes up and then be disappointed. But do come back and check us out next week – we’d love to have you join us.
We will be setting up SIM card pick-up locations in 3 urban centres.
For people who have not yet received their SIM cards in the mail, or for people who would like to switch at the last minute, we are setting up SIM card pick-up locations. This is how it will work:
Who are you looking for? At each location there will be two Public Mobile representatives dressed with a white Public Mobile snapback and orange Public Mobile cape. Yes, that’s right- a cape.
What time will the reps be available? Reps will be available Friday November 18th and Saturday November 19th from 11am - 7 pm local time.
How many SIM cards can I purchase? There will be a limit of 2 SIM cards per person.
Please note: There are limited quantities of SIM cards at each location and we will be spreading out our supplies across the two days.
Where can you pick-up SIM cards?
Toronto
Outside of the TELUS Tower
25 York Street
Toronto Ontario
M5J 2V5
Vancouver -- SOLD OUT FOR NOVEMBER 18 & NOVEMBER 19
On the corner of Richards St and West Georgia
Vancouver British Columbia
Montreal
North of the TELUS Tower
Corner of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Union Avenue
Montreal Quebec
H3B 3C1
Last but not least, if you do have any Public Mobile SIM cards that you are not planning on using before the promotion is done, be kind! Let friends, family or Community members know, so that they can also take advantage of the great deal. We appreciate you lending a hand!

Anyone with an extra SIM card in the Scarborough/Markham, ON area?
Please private msg me. Would like to come and pick one up.

@Brooke_C so my order that we talked about earlier still hasn't come. I really hope you'll honor the deal like you said. It's either delayed or lost.

Goodluck!
Be aware that they only have 250 sim cards to give out. The lineup today was at the NE corner of Georgia and Richards.

If anyone has a SIM they aren't using and would like to sell to me, would you please PM? I can pick up in Vancouver.
Thx!

I hope the mods are kind.

How do Public Mobile employees get kicked off Telus property when Telus is Public's parent company? I'm sure Telus head office was informed of the plan to sell sim cards, and must have even given permission do so. More likely, the lines/crowds may have been getting in the way of the every-day business dealings of staff entering the building, so Public might have been asked to move.

The had quite a few left in Toronto, fyi.

Please check the updated locations in the first post of this thread! We will not be located in the lobbies of the TELUS buildings but we will be outside close by!

11-18-2016 04:44 PM

I have one FREE SIM available just arrived in mail...will need a referral meet up Metrotown, Burnaby.
***GONE***
11-18-2016 04:14 PM
I tried to pick one up today...they sold out at the dude infront of me 😕
Your best bet is to go up tomorrow for 11 I'd say.
11-18-2016 04:06 PM
So I ordered a SIM a few days ago, but its looking like its not going to arrive today.
Anything I can do?? Frustrating to miss out on this deal because of slow mail.
I had a friend try to pick one up for me in Vancouver, but it looks like they've sold out.
11-18-2016 03:50 PM
Does anyone know if there are more sim cards at the Toronto location?
11-18-2016 03:33 PM
UPDATE: We have sold out of SIM cards in Vancouver. Our Brand Ambassadors will be back tomorrow at 11AM with a limited number of SIM cards.
