Is There A Time Limit (Number of Days) To Activate A Newly Purchased Sim Card?

Is there a time limit as in the number of days to activate a newly purchased Sim card. I probably jumped the gun in purchasing a Sim card before my time will expire with my current cell provider and it may be a while before I need to switch to Public Mobile.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had received an email from Public Mobile asking if I had forgotten to activate my Sim card.

I guess that is true. I better work at getting my small hoard of SIM cards into service!

@AE_Collector they will "expired" when there is no more phones with physical sim slot..LoL

I have 4 or 5 of them in a drawer here somewhere… so I hope not. No expiry date on the actual SIM cards.

There is no time limit to activate new SIM card. But I would not wait a year or so in case something changes in our fast paced world!

@RTinIB no expiry date on unused, unactivated sim card

But please note sim card can only be activated once
