Next, but a new PM sim from Telus or Koodo store and message PM support agent again and ask them to help to update the sim card

@BT123

Order a new sim card but not to "activate" the sim, instead, you want to link your sim card to your existing account so you can keep the phone number

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)

If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to 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


Once you got the sim card,  you can update the sim card number from either the PM app or My Account via the browser (After login, remember to resume service first if you have used Lost/Stolen to suspend the service earlier.):

If you are updating via Public Mobile app

login and go to Account page
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to 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) 
click Change your Sim card and update your sim card number there

 

To update it from My Account via the browser:

login My Account to request Change Sim card
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to 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) 

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
(or direct link: https://myaccount.publicmobile.ca/en/account/profile/change-sim-number  ) 

After the sim card is updated, wait 5 mins, then reboot your phone and it should be good

)

Not sure if you lost the phone, if so,  use the FindMy service to locate the phone and try a remote wipe

You have to toggle switch Subscribed in order to stop being charged for service.
