How To Change Your SIM Card,

the SIM change functionality has been re-enabled in My Account, now with an additional security step: 2 factor authentication to further protect against SIM card fraud.In order to change the SIM card associated with your account, you must now verify your request through a one-time security code that will be sent via SMS or email.To change your SIM card, please follow the below steps:

  1. Log into your My Account
  2. Go to Plan and Add-Ons > Change SIM Card
  3. Enter your new SIM card number
  4. Select where you would like your 6-digit security verification code to be sent to. You can choose to have the code sent to your email, or via SMS to your phone number. If you do not have access to your phone or cannot receive SMS, please select the email option.
  5. Check your email or phone for your security code, and input the code into the page
  6. Click “Verify Code”

Please note: after 5 failed attempts to verify your security code, your account will be locked, and you will need to have your account unlocked and your SIM card manually updated by an agent by submitting a ticket link,.

  1. Once you have verified your code, click “submit” to complete your SIM card change, and you’re all set !!

If I were in your situation, I would nevertheless start by trying the solutions proposed by other users above for simple reasons of saving time. This is usually one of the first avenues of solutions considered before going further.

@LoVeSoSa was it your phone or stolen or your SIM was stolen?

 

Anyway, now you got a new SIM card, did you follow the step to request change SIM?

 

I understand you have trouble putting in Voucher, but how did you try to do it ?  you try calling *611?  did you try logging into My Account and add voucher that way?     

 

Give us more info what you have tried and what is not working

@LoVeSoSa 

If you just inserted the new SIM into your phone thinking it would recognize your account and phone number, that is not the way it works.

 

You have to have the SIM number SWAPPED see Announcement here:

Did you link the new SIM card to your account?  If you haven't already done that, you'll need to proceed to https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca and after logging in, click on "Plans and Add Ons" near the top, and then on "Change SIM card".
