Is it easy to switch phones while keeping the same plan? I am looking for a new Pixel phone.

No need to let Public Mobile know about changing to a new phone or anything; the account / phone number follows the SIM card.

 

SIM cards come 3-in-1 sizes.

 

If the SIM slot in your new phone is the same size as your old one - pop it out, then insert it into the new. Easy peasy. 

 

IF the slot is smaller, gently remove the outer adapters to fit.

 

IF the slot is larger, ask friends/family if they have spare adapters to use OR cell shops likely have them and throw them away regularly. So they could likely given them to you too.

Extremely easy.. beauty of SIM card.. just move the SIM to the new phone.. as long as the SIM fits.. it works.

 

But if your current SIM is bigger than the SIM tray on the new phone, check if your SIM has a pre-cut "frame" that you can remove.  If so, remove it to the correct size

 

what is your current phone model?

your plan is with your account and is Separated from your device, you can choose whatever device you like to use and put it your SIM card on it.

 

Purchase Phone (publicmobile.ca)

 

 

For Public Mobile uses the following frequency bands:

  • 4G LTE and LTE Advanced: 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz downlink and 1700 MHz uplink (AWS).
  • HSPA: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz (UMTS).

Verify that the phone is compatible with PM ,unlocked, and not blacklisted if you buy used. The phone has nothing to do with your plan.

As long as the sim size is the same then you can remove it from your current phone into your new one.  If it is larger then you may need to punch out the sim to fit the smaller size which is nano.
