Ordering plan, then activating later.

[Poontyhome]

Hi all,

I was wondering if I am able to order a new public mobile plan and activate it after a couple of months? My Telus contract is ending mid-July so I wanted to lock down the $40 limited offer public is offering at the moment.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I was also wondering if a better plan was to come up and I have not activated the sim yet, would I be able to switch to the better plan as i have a unactivated sim?

Technically YES

since you account not fully activated yet, you can ask PM cancel the subscription and they will issue refund. 

Then of course, you can resubscribe the new better plan

So, Yes. You can do that

Hello @Poontyhome 

Sadly, no. So here's what you can do and the positive/negative of doing that. 

IF, for example, at any point between now and the 89 day mark you find a better plan that you have currently chosen, you CAN create a whole new account and use the SIM card Public Mobile sent you. That, was the positive. The negative, you'd forfeit the money you just paid now. So you have to weigh the pros and cons about doing that.

Does that answer the question?

@Poontyhome 

you sure can...just make sure to activate within 90 days.  Welcome to Public Mobile.

if you see good plan and you want to get the offer and activate later, you can only "delay" this by subscribing with Physical sim card (as it takes time for PM to ship you the sim card).   You can delay this by as many as 90 days.  But keep in mind, you have to pay in full first and the 90 days is from the day you made the payment
