@WW5 

Don't even need a month, eSIM is now available for existing subscribers, so you can order one for your phone now:

Yeah a lot of people have been asking about this. Other providers can. And even move esims between phones.  There has been no word and no one here would be in the know as to if and when they might open up this ability.

@WW5 - ooo, that's too bad. If you want the same account you will need to use a phone with a sim slot, then proceed to change the SIM card number on your My Account.

See "How To Change Your SIM Number" in this Help Article: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/change-sim-number

 

edit, Card to Number

@WW5 sorry you can't

ESIM with PM is not currently available for existing subscribers. Maybe another month or so. So, you might need to hold on

@WW5  Sorry you can’t . ESIM only for new activation for now . You would need to use physical SIM card . 

adding only work around would be to port number out . Create new PM account with different email and then port number back in . But that cost some extra money effort and possibly lose of old rewards @WW5
