can't receive code

I lost my SIM card and I've already bought a replacement but I can't log in to my self serve account to transfer my subscription. It sent a code to my phone number but I don't have a SIM to receive my code and it doesn't have an option to send the code to my email. How can I work around this?

@yeyuui , a Telus store will not help you with a Public Mobile account. Please send a CS_Agent a private message to do your SIM Card swap for you!

It now shows this screen every time I try to log in so I think I'll just go to a Telus store tomorrow and hopefully they'll be able to help me.Screenshot 2023-08-28 at 10.20.13 PM.png

@yeyuui , will this link change the way it asks you to login?

Yes but it's the same on the app too 😓

@yeyuui , sorry! I don’t know why it looks like that! 😞 Are you able to try on the Public Mobile app? If not please try @MetaMorpheusMob  suggestion.

It doesn't give me the "Didn't get the code?" option, it only has "Resend code", and when I click on it, there's only the option to "send text" or "send voice message".


@yeyuui , below where you are to input code it should say “Didn’t get the code?”

@yeyuui , if you select “Didn’t get the code?” does it give you other options like it does for me in screenshot below?

Edit: After you’re able to login:

Follow these steps to update the SIM number associated with your account:

  1. Log in to the Public Mobile app  (select + symbol on bottom left) or My Account
  2. Go to the ‘Profile’ tab
  3. Select the pencil icon next to your current SIM number
  4. Enter your the 16-digit code of your new SIM
  5. Select ‘Save Changes’
