@banjo  - why are you not able to access your email from another device? Is this a work phone or this device was the only one that had your email credentials on it?

 

See "How To Change Your SIM Card" at the bottom of this Help Article: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/sim-swap-fraud

 

 

Public Mobile Representatives (CSA), two contact methods, found here in the Get Help articles:

Contact customer support via private message to perform the SIM swap for you. You will have to answer some extra verification questions so have your payment details handy. Send a detailed message explaining your issue. ( Have you suspended your service via lost/stolen yet?)

 

Keep an eye on the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen for a little number to pop up indicating a reply from a CSA. Responding promptly will speed up service times but expect a reply within an hour of their 6 am eastern opening hours.

To pre-verify your account include your full name, address, email, phone # and 4 digit acct pin #.
