Hi, I was a public mobile user before (5 months ago) and I have a physical SIM card, my question is:

if I want to go back to public mobile, can i use the previous sim card instead of buy a new one?

thanks a lot!

E Sims are currently free with the black Friday deals. If your phone is compatible that's always an option.

Hello @Joey21 

When a Public Mobile account is closed, the SIM card itself becomes the world's smallest drink coaster. Which, in my opinion is such a waste of money and resources. Can you imagine... how many thousands of SIM cards are tossed each year in Canada alone? With that being said, you would have to purchase a new one OR if your phone can do eSIM, you can purchase an eSIM for $5 though the app. The good news though, the requirement of eSIM moving forward would be free. So check your phone and see if it can handle an eSIM.

Sorry @Joey21  you cannot use the sim card.  Please get a new one

Buy a PM physical sim card from Telus or Koodo or Mobile Klinik stores or via Amazon:

no, you cannot.  SIM card can only be activated once.  You need a new sim card
