Special announcement coming soon

[Alan_K]

Hey Community,

Back in the summer of ‘17, we announced that we were expanding our presence by selling our SIM cards at both national and independent retailers.  We wanted to give Canadians more control and choice: purchase and activate online or visit your local neighbourhood store.

Since then, we’ve launched at many great retail partners like, Walmart, WOW! Mobile, K-Mobile, London Drugs, The Mobile Shop, Koodo Authorized Dealers, and various independent wireless retailers. In 2019, we’re continuing this journey with the same goal in mind: empower more Canadians to do wireless differently. To that end, we have yet another special announcement coming soon about an exciting addition to our current line-up. Stay tuned for more details!

It’s not how many but how reliable these retailers are. Most are willing sellers if a SIM is activated at their location: if not, many are reluctant and some even deny. PM clients and its self-serve philosophy deserves better.

All retailers should be bound to a clause that they willingly sell SIM to all prospective clients — irrespective of the fact whether such clients activate the SIM at their point of sale or not.

I guess SIM vending machines? If not that, then Public Mobile stores?

More free ice cream??? LOL

How about airports for visitors maybe?  And support for international credit cards?  Probably not, but many of the other good guesses have already been posted.  😉

Best Buy, Canada Computers, EB Games, Staples, something like that... It would be funny if someone guessed correctly.
