[mehulbalsara]

I am in BC and would move to Ontario. Can i get my BC's number changed to Ontario's without changing the SIM? And can I do that while I am in BC. I have my Ontario's address.

...which means when switching from BC to ON the payment will increase by 1%. 😁

So.. you could topup before the new number... Or pick an Alberta number for 30 days and do a lump-sum topup for 7 or 8% less before then settling on an ON number. 😉

Or know someone in AB and have them buy vouchers for you. Or buy online where it seems only GST is being charged.

To change your phone number: sign in to Self-Serve, select ‘Change Number' under 'My Profile' on the Overview page. Here, you can choose to select a new phone number or to transfer a wireless or wireline number from another provider.

You can change it once every 30 days.

@mehulbalsara  Yes, just access your selfserve account online and select the "change phone number" option page under your profile info.

You can do this anytime and select any Canada wide number. Note that you can change numbers once every 30 days.

You can change to a new number every 30 days in self service.
