Buy SIM card on line, and qualify for promotion

[calrbc]

There is no place to buy a SIM card locally. If I order it on line today is there a way to qualify for the refer a friend bonus that ends tomorrow

[calrbc]

Thank you all for your responses. Some good ideas there. Hopefully I can make something work

[calrbc]

@calrbc  The only workaround now is that you have a friend to pickup a sim card for you if there is one Telus/Koodo store close by.  Then text you the sim card number and you can activate online first.  Of course, you friend would need to mail you back the sim card so you can have the serivce.

@calrbc 

Go to Find TELUS Stores Near you  or  Koodo Stores  to buy it SIM card in person and enter your post code to see which store and before you go give them a call to check it has the SIM card.

No not at all. For a while there I was getting them activated in Toronto and mailed out to me in Vancouver when Canadian Cell supplies would offer such good deals.

@calrbc 

Yep you're right. Two stores each in Vernon, kelowna, Penticton and then Calgary. This is so stupid of public mobile to limit the ability to buy a SIM card in a retail location.

I think there's also another member out there in your area but I cannot remember who it is? Can you clue us in on your smaller town?

@hairbag1 

Don't you live out that way?

[darlicious · Accepted solution]

@calrbc 

Do you have a friend in the city that can get you one? And communicate the Sim number to you?

@calrbc   even is a bit tight in time now if no local store has it.  Again, you tried calling all the Telus or Koodo store?

Amazon has next day deliver if you live in big city, if you have Prime membership

Amazon usually able to fulfil the promise , so you should be able to get it tomorrow and activate before midnight
