Lost phone

I lost my phone in another country,  how can I port my number to a new sim card ? Also,  I renewed my plan but I wanted only the $15/plan because I am not using the line very much.  How can I change the plan and get credit for the remainder of the balance? I just renewed it today so I don't lose the number as I had it inactive for almost 90 days.

@Kays12345 

let's work on getting your new sim card with the existing account first

first, get a new sim card from:

 get a Public Mobile sim card from

Once you got the sim card, go to My Account from ONLY a desktop or laptop computer to request Change Sim card (please note that due to some glitches, accessing change sim care from mobile phone or tablet won't work)

(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to receive the 2FA code: On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or  Resend code and then choose Send email) 

Then go to Profile page, click on the Pencil besides the sim card number, follow the steps to enter the new sim card number and complete the change sim card request
(or direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/change-sim-number  )

You just have to login to your account and go to the Profile section and change the SIM card number. If the payment is 90 days or long, your account will be closed, SIM will be rendered useless and you lost you number. Dial 1-855-4PUBLIC to see if you are over the 90 days…if it is then it will state that the number no longer available.

As for the credit, sorry PM is a prepaid service so no credit.

@Kays12345  Get a new SIM card and ask support to sim card swap the number for you and report phone list/stolen until you get the new SIM card
