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!

Toronto, outside Telus Tower.

@jccl Really? I'm just heading to the location right now, can someone confirm where they are standing?
@ChopstickHero Where did you get yours?
11-18-2016 02:49 PM
Correct, $10 receipt from Square. 🙂
On RFD, somebody said around 1pm they still had SIM cards left and nobody in line...

Paying SIM card is easy and it took 2 mins max. Shouout to the staffs that staying outside Telus building in Toronto becasue it was quite chilly!
I think we pay no tax on SIM

Anyone visit the Vancouver location yet? Just about to head down and grab few sim cards.
11-18-2016 02:06 PM
They never set up inside the Telus lobby to sell the SIMs, they were outside on the sidewalk. Not sure if they had to move though. The big lineup was drawing a lot of attention though! Way to do it guerilla style PM!

Funny, just read on RFD that the Public Mobile staff were kicked out of the Telus office in Montreal and Toronto, so now they have to set up shop outside?

Lucky to have gotten a SIM this morning outside the Telus building in Toronto... even luckier to notice the PM crew standing outside and got to be 5th in line! Promo deal activated and enjoying it already. Goodbye Rogers!

Do it!
Worst case another SIM is just $5 bucks, when you receive the one you already purchased keep it to refer a friend.
Kelly, the savings you are going to have are worth it "investing" an extra 5 bucks in order to ensure you get the promo...

Hi, I ordered an SIM card on Nov 7th and it still has not come to my mail. My order number is 90281. I found out there is an location: Telus Tower at 25 York street Toronto that is selling Public Mobile SIM card. Just wondering if i can just go there and show them my order number to pick up a card at the spot? Really need to have it by tomorrow to participate in the promotion that ends November 20th.
Thanks,
Kelly
