I have two cell phones I need to transfer from Rogers... I want two phone lines with shared data.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that on the Public Mobile Website.

How much would this cost.

Hello @jheinrichs 

If you're interested in joining Public Mobile, each plan requires it's own account and email address. There are no group plans or family plans here. My suggestion is to first purchase SIM cards. Links below on where to find them. Once you have the SIM cards, you need to download the Public Mobile app to sign up. Once you sign up, get a temporary number, make sure you can make and take calls, text to and from others and make sure data works. Once that works, then you can go into your account and port over your Rogers numbers. Just make note, depending on which plan you wish to get, not all phones work with Public Mobile. Here is a list of most phones that will work.

To confirm if your phone will work with Public Mobile, please see this link. These are currently and mildly out of date lists of what can work.

To get a new SIM card the fastest routes are these.

https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/pick-up-SIM - Find a local store in your area.

Amazon - Here you can get it cheaper and maybe a few days wait $4.99

Or find a Mobile Klinik near you. https://mobileklinik.ca/stores/

@jheinrichs 

no shared account here, sorry.  Each account is by itself and not linked and no shared data

@jheinrichs , with this service, accounts are never shared.  Having said that, I don't think shared accounts are the thing anymore with any carrier brand.  Data buckets are so large these days that each user can have their own separate data at a very reasonable price.  Please take a look at the current plan offers.
