Can I activate two phones with Public Mobile SIM cards?

I have two kids. One has been using Public Mobile with her phone right now, but the account is under my name (because I'm paying for it). I just got a phone for my second child and want to be able to add her to my account. Can I activate a second SIM on the same account? ChatBot seems to say no, but I'd like a real person to verify.

For the separate accounts that are needed, you can use the same credit card for each, but Public Mobile sends text messages when data has been exhausted and the two kids could cause extra charges by agreeing to buy a data add-on. To avoid that, you would have to ask a cusotmer support agent to remove the credit cards after setting up the kid accounts.  You would also need to remember to pay with vouchers because there would be no credit card on the accounts.

not on the same account, but you can use another email to activate another account. Use the friend referral code from your first account to get the friend referral reward
