SIM a card says pre paid

[cb15]

When I managed to chat with a public mobile agent he advised with canada post delays to purchase a SIM card directly from a store that’s open. The only one London Drugs has says pre paid. Will this work when I set up a $15/month plan?

The SIM card will work. Public is a prepaid service. So you just have to buy the sim, activate it, choose your plan (and pay for it), and there you go. All set.

Great thx. Wanted to insure there wasn’t a second kind of sim. Why do you suggest not getting a referral code. I have one from a friend which gives me an additional credit plus the auto pay discount.

@cb15  Public Mobile only uses one type of sim that is good for all plans. Yes, you should use your friend's referral code to get the bonus $10 credit. Once you activate your card and setup your selfserve account you will have you own referral that you can use to bring down the cost down by $1 for every referral that signs up.

Yes, you can purchase your SIM from London drugs. Then go home and set up your account online by following get started. Make sure you have a referral code as well to save yourself 10.00, which is the cost of the SIM.

As others have said Public is prepaid 🙂

PM offers prepaid plans.  After you purchase the sim you would need to setup an account and pay using vouchers, a credit card or Visa debit.

Yes. Any PM SIM can be used for any plan. Pre-paid refers to the SIM; no SIMs include a plan.

Public mobile is a prepaid service. Buy the sim, activate sim, choose the plan you want ($15 plan like you mentioned add autopay for $2 discount). Plans are 30 days and you pay in advance for the 30 days. Prepaid.

Don't forget a referral code.
