I recently signed up for Public Mobile.  I paid $39.55 on my Visa ($25 for the first month, $10 for the sim card, plust tax).  I recently received the sim card and was trying to activate it on my phone.  I downloaded the Public Mobile app on my phone ], logged in but now i am being put through the entire process on selecting a subscription.  Didn't I already do that?  I simply want to get activate this new sim card that was sent to me and get a new phone number.  What are the steps that I need to do that?  thanks.

no, what is EverSafe?

@Norm61  - when you started the activation in the app, did you get an option to choose the "I already have a SIM card" ?

@Norm61 - have you signed up to EverSafe for logging in?

I am stuck a Step 1 "Select a Subscription".  I thought that is what I did when I paid the $25 plus the $10 to get the sim card.  The only instructions with the sim card was to download the Public Mobile app, which I did.

App should offer you to select a number and complete activation.

"5. Finish Setup - If you are on the website, download the Public Mobile app to continue setting up your subscription. If you are on the app, continue to select a new number or transfer an existing number and follow the steps on the app to finish"

If in doubt contact agent for assistance to avoid accident double payment.

@Norm61 - good question. when you first signed up and paid for the $25 plan was there other instructions to do once you received the sim card?
