Can I buy a new iPhone 17 that does not have a physical SIM card and transport my info from my older iPhone & still use Public Mobile? Or do I need to get a QR code & how? Thx

hi @JBGabe
yes, iPhone 17 has no physical sim slot. What you need to do is to buy a new eSIM for the new iPhone 17.
Just download the PM app on the new phone, login to the app, go to Account page and choose Buy sim card and select eSIM.

downlaod the Public Mobile app to your new cell; log in to your account to buy an esim.
OR...just take hard sim outta your current iphone, install it in new cell and your should be good to go.
edit...I didn't know that i17 was esim only...sorry for my confusion.
