New Plan Setup

I’ve bought a new phone for my elderly mother. I’ve ordered the SIM and phone plan but the problem I have is I am in Ontario and she is in Nova Scotia. The SIM is being sent to me in Ontario so I can set up the phone but that means the plan, and presumably the phone number I can select will be for Ontario. Is there a way I can still set this phone up so she has a local phone number?

The Most important is to Receive SIM.

Then... as you proceed with set up you an chose ANY area code and pick suitable number. Bea aware that some provinces charge extra for 911 and some provinces charge Less tax.
But if you want her to have NS area code and number then extra charges and less tax are irrelevant.

@miakol1286 , during the activation process you will have the option to select a phone number from any province in Canada.  So no worries about setting up an account for you mom remotely.
