Bought a nonrefundable Public Mobile SIM card from Telus

[zephyr707]

I ended up signing up to Public Mobile via eSIM, but now I have this physical PM SIM card that I can't return. Is there anything I can use this for with my current setup or should I try to sell/gift it? Is there a way to have both an eSIM and a SIM with the same account info to safeguard losing my phone/SIM and get the best of both worlds with both the virtual and physical SIM card or would this just complicate things? thanks in advance

great, thanks to both of you, I'll keep it as a backup for travel, cheers!

@zephyr707 no, one account can only be tied with one sim , whether it is physical or eSIM

But keep it as a backup.   PM currently cannot re-issue eSIM if anything wrong, like you accidentally delete it or you change phone. With those cases, you will need to move back to physical sim.  (But this re-issue eSIM limitation likely will be fixed soon)

@zephyr707  Keep it as a back up incase you decide to change phones or give to a friend for a referral reward
