Switch to PM

[kkarenluu]

If we received this promo code (for the recurring 2GB data) via email and have decided to purchase a SIM card online (with 3-7 days for delivery), will the promo code expire on us because of possible days in the SIM card delivery time? Thanks!

Most important is to GET PM SIM if you are committed to switch to PM!

Do Not activate service at retailer, do it at PM site so you properly enter your referral code (if any) and set autopay.

Data promo appear very often so if current is expired I would strongly suggest to wait for the next one as I am sure it will appear very soon.

You can get PM SIM from suggested above retailers but decline pressured activation at the store!

The chances are it will take longer than 7 days. PM does not have control with Canada Post delivery time but who knows.
The 2gb promo has been on for sometime now and it could expire soon. 
Normally promo expires at the end of the month so you do have some time. 
I would suggest you wait to see if it arrives in 7 days. If not, best that you go to your local London Drugs or local WOW or any PM retailer to pick one up.

As noted by @darlicious, Canadian Cell Supplies have the PM SIM on sale for $5 but may take up to a week to arrive or if you are near a CCS in Ontario. You can pick one up from them directly.

@kkarenluu Purchasing online will take 2-3 weeks until you get the SIM card.  You can try getting one at Walmart perhaps but they often give you a hard time selling you the SIM alone without them activating it.  If that's the case, tell them you lost your phone and you want to buy another SIM card to put on new phone in which you will transfer yourself online.  In this case they will sell it with less issue.  A few friends have done this and it worked out better.

Public mobile's sim card delivery times can vary wildly. Anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. It is better to purchase a sim card from a local retailer or online from Amazon.ca if you have a prime membership or Canadian Cell Supplies ($5) w/free shipping via Canada post within 5 business days.

When buying from a retailer do not be pressurized into activating in store as you will not qualify for the reoccuring 2GBBONUS plan data....despite what the salesperson says. Be forewarned that Wal-Mart will often refuse to sell you a sim card without an activation. Koodo retailers are also known to sell pm sim cards at a premium adding $5 to $10 more onto the msrp of $10 for a pm sim card. Simply walk away if you encounter this kind of sales tactic.

If you don't have a referral code for the $10 bonus referral credit just private message another community member and ask to be their friend...lol...for their referral code. They will be happy to oblige. Several will offer you a free sim card with their referral code if you happen to live in the same general area.

@kkarenluu don't get the SIM from PM online  It usually take too long to deliver, like 3 weeks.  Try to get it from local mobile store such as Walmart or Loblaws or London Drug.   I heard some Koodo stores has it too.

@kkarenluu "will the promo code expire on us because of possible days in the SIM card delivery time?"

Probably, so get one at a retailer. https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/store-locator
Let us know the town where you are in case a member living nearby has a spare.

@kkarenluu 

The recurring 2GB data promo code has been going on since June. Different flash weekend promotions and different emails.  The promo may or may not expire by your promo expiry date.  

If you want to be on the safe side, you can purchase a SIM card in store and activate at home.  According to terms and conditions, you will need to activate at home (not in store) to get recurring 2GB data.
