Do I need to buy a new sim card if my old one got damaged?

Hello.

 

I need to replace my phone because it was damaged with water.  I already have an active phone plan with Public Mobile but will need a new sim card for the new phone.  Do I have to purchase a new sim card or can Public Mobile send one to me? 

 

Thanks

If the SIM was water damaged, try wiping it with rubbing alcohol with a microfibre cloth and see if that works.

Click the Find a store link down below to find one of those corporate stores. Call them to check stock before going.

There are Telus and Koodo store that do sell Public Mobile SIM cards. but likely those are going to to Telus corporately run stores. There are stores that use the Telus and Koodo banners but are actually owned by seperated companies.

Usually it is difficult to damage SIM unless it is physically broken. Try current SIM in any phone and if it does not work then you have to buy a new one and transfer number to it.

@Marla1 Hi they are $10 also it looks like that half price promotion must’ve finished overnight so they are $10 here also but as was suggested it is better to go to your nearest telus or koodo store to pick one up

@Marla1   sim card is $10.  

Better to get it from Koodo or Telus store

I would not suggest to get it from PM online as it could take up to 3 weeks to deliver

 

You can also get it from Amazon if you have Prime membership for it 2 days shipping

@Marla1 Hi you will have to purchase a new one yourself since the damage is self-inflicted you can go to your nearest koodo or telus store to purchase one there or you can go on the site here and get one for half price at the moment have a great day
