Note: The promo plan has been removed from our website; however is still available in the activation portal and in Self-Serve.
We will be honouring the promo plan for all customers who ordered their SIM card between October 25th-November 16th, but did not receive it before November 20th.
Why the November 16th cut-off date you might ask? SIM card orders take 1-2 business days to arrive at your home, and Canada Post does not deliver on the weekends. Knowing that there is a lead time for SIM cards to arrive, we have temporarily stopped SIM card ordering until after the promotion is complete. This is because anyone who would have ordered a SIM card after November 16th would not have received their SIM card in enough time to sign up for the promo plan. We didn’t want anyone to get your hopes up and then be disappointed.
If you get a SIM card at one of our pick-up locations this Friday and Saturday, you will need to sign-up for our promo plan on or before November 20th. The promo plan will not be honoured for these customers after November 20th.

Please consider extending this promotion, maybe by a few days. As there are many people who are having issue with Sim delievering and account registration issues.
Bravo if you agree.

I order a SIM on Nov 7 but still have not receive it. I ordered a second one yesterday. Hopefully, one of them arrive in time.

This promotion expires in 5 days and I don't have a PM SIM card so will have to order it. Seeing it takes 3+ days to get the SIM card shipped to my home. If the SIM card arrives after Nov 20, would I still be able to take advantage of this offer?
11-15-2016 05:40 PM
Their shipping time for SIM cards is amazing. It only took me 2 days to get it. Also porting over the number is super easy, turn off both old and new phone, port it and its done! Thanks Public Mobile!

@jairolevi no i didnt go over! I mean with my old company and plan I always went over.. only had 1GB
11-15-2016 04:12 PM
Purchased a SIM Sunday night and recieved it today! Switching over a 2nd line today 🙂

Hi @JUNA1D5HAH
In addition to what @ShadowWarrior said, you can also try DM'ing them on Twitter. They seem to be very active there.
I'm hoping my missing order arrives tonight, otherwise I will have to reach out to them.

I just tried public mobile limiting my plan and did not commit to this plan as Wind did not work out as planned. So I am happy with the service using a public mobile sim on my Note 5 and would like to switch to this promotion. Is that possible?
Can I talk to a human or is public mobile only forum based. I have to change more than just the plan now that it works. I have more people coming your way if you are willing to talk or have a private message conversation.

I finally jumped ship from Bell Mobility with this offer! Looking forward to a monthly bill that is almost half of what it was and even more flexibility.
I ordered the SIM card from PM on Saturday the 12th, arrived today, and I am already setup.
No problems with porting the number to PM.
Spoke to Bell before doing so, the best they could offer was a $60/month deal, with limited minutes. Glad to be gone, especially after the $50 phone unlocking fee today and then the final monthly bill that they won't prorate despite it just starting... not looking back.
Hello PM!
11-15-2016 03:10 PM
Haha alright then. Hopefully it arrives before the 20th.

Like you, I asked the same question. Like you, I wished I'd bother to read a few posts prior to asking 🙂
Yes, it will probably arrive (they send XpressPost) but no, you can't register w/o the SIM in hand. Good luck (to us both)

Hello @ChameleonX, is there a way to track the shipment iof the SIM Card?
I ordered mine this morning.
thanks
11-15-2016 02:23 PM
If that helps, I ordered my SIM card last Friday night. It arrived yesterday on the evening.
They are sending them with priority mail, so it should take two days.
Good luck
PS: I live in Montreal.
11-15-2016 02:17 PM
I appreciate that. In my case, I'm in Kelowna so it won't work out. From what others have said, I'm confident I'll have mine this week.
11-15-2016 01:49 PM
@bcsteeve or anyone else in the Vancouver area, I do have a few spare SIMs I could hand your way if needed later in the week. All plans are subject to change but I'll tentatively be in the Yaletown area Wednesday and Friday, and downdown (near Georgia and Thurlow) on Thursday, and North Surrey for most of the weekend. Send me a private message if you'd like to try to arrange something.
11-15-2016 01:28 PM
@zhadj030 You are right...
11-15-2016 01:26 PM
Yeah,

is there a glith on the plan page web ?
it says: "Looking for $40/month talk, text and 2G of data? Check out our 90 day plan"

@WearySky @jairolevi @hopetindall
Thank you guys for your answers and useful tips. I am coming from Wind as well, it was relativly fine until the last couple of months it became a bit to much to support so I was on the lookout for a deal and I found this. I did order the SIM on Sunday so I imagine they shipped it yesterday and I should receive it tommorow but I haven't really received a shippement email... so I am waiting. The only thing I find a bit annoying is the fact that I won't be able to call Gatineau but there is a workaround that.
Thanks

I'm downtown Toronto. If anyone has a PM sim I could pick up off of them, that'd be great!
11-15-2016 01:01 PM
Let me help you out with that 🙂
Can you private message me your phone number, please?

@bcsteeve, Xpresspost does say 2 business days across Canada, 1 business day regionally.
Several of our community members in BC have reported getting their sim cards within a day, so the odds are pretty good that you will have your sim card before the week's end.
11-15-2016 12:51 PM
@willjivcoff, the only solution I can think of is to pick up a sim card from someone else if you can and sign up before you leave. Which city are you in? Maybe one of the generous PM community member near you will respond and give you a spare sim they may have lying around.
11-15-2016 12:50 PM
OK, I ordered the SIM. Telus is based in Vancouver so if it ships from there I'm golden (it'll be here tomorrow). But if it ships from ON, etc... then I doubt it'll be here in time.
We'll see!
11-15-2016 12:49 PM
@dl135, I don't think that you will be able to sign up after the promo period expires.
Which area are you in? Maybe someone from the community can give you their spare sim.
