Get a new sim card but not to "activate" the sim, instead, you want to tie your sim card to your existing account
If you have not done so, you might want to first supsend your service first until you got a replacement sim card:
Login to My Account, go to Profile page, click Report Lost/Stolen Phone and click Put my service on hold
(or use this direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/lost-or-stolen-phone)
In case you cannot receive the 2FA code
On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or Resend code and then choose Send email
Then get a Public Mobile sim card from
- Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06X9ZGDWG/ ( only $4.99, Free Prime next day shipping)
or https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07R6P5KBB/ - local Telus/Koodo/Mobile Klinik stores: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/pick-up-SIM (call ahead to confirm availability )
- PM online: https://www.publicmobile.ca/sim-card (Delivery could take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks)
Once you got the sim card, go to My Account from ONLY a desktop or laptop computer to request Change Sim card (please note that due to some glitches, accessing change sim care from mobile phone or tablet won't work)
After you logged in, unsuspend first if you have suspended your service earlier.
Then go to Profile page, click on the Pencil besides the sim card number, follow the steps to enter the new sim card number and complete the change sim card request
