Renew Connection / Resume Existing Phone Number

[Adi3]

Hi, 

I've been away from Canada for a few months & it appears my phone connection was discontinued recently. 

I'm looking to re-activate my connection & retain the existing phone number. I have tried using the the website to activate a plan using the "existing sim" feature but I receive the error "sim not valid". 

Is there a way to proceed with an eSIM or order a physical one , while ensuring to resume with the existing phone number as before?

Thanks,

@Adi3 

if the account was suspended for 90 days or more...that account has been deactivated permanently. If so, you need a new sim to start a new account and use a different email address...you can use the same payment card though. The number associated with the old account is no longer usable...you're going to have to take a new number, I'm afraid. Download the Public Mobile app to your cell to activate a new account and buy a new esim. If using hard sim, get to a Mobile Klinik in your area as they sell the PM sims...or...buy a PM sim on Amazon.

@Adi3  Depending on how long you have been away and when your number/account was deactivated. If it was recently, you can try to ask a cs_agent if your number is still valid for taking back. If it is, you will need to open a new account with physical or esim and select your number back. If it’s been a while. It’s not likely available. Use this link to message, and best of luck!
