SIM swap

[SkylerFortier]

I have been trying to change my SIM card for 3 months now, because I lost my phone with my original SIM in it and I don’t want to change my phone number. My monthly payment of $45 has come out every month and I have not been able to use the services I am paying for because every time I enter the new SIM number and press enter it just goes back to the old SIM number! So so so frustrating and very angry over the waisted money!!!!

@SkylerFortier 

Why wait for 3 months to pass before exclaiming you're wasting money?

Had you initiated a support ticket before this?

Check to see if your account is not designated as lost / stolen. If it is, that will have to be removed before changing the SIM card number in order to receive active service again.

@SkylerFortier   You need to login to your account using incognito/private mode or another browser and select Quick Links/Profile and then change SIM card.  Your number will attach to the new SIM after the update but might require a reboot of the phone.

If you're having problems with the SIM change, then contact support for assistance via chatbot here:  https://www.publicmobile.ca/get-help

BTW, if you put your account into Lost/Stolen mode when you lost your phone, you will now need to Resume service first.
