How did you activate SIM in the past? 
Same for porting over your number back to PM.

Purchase a new SIM and remember to leave the Bell SIM in your phone during activation and reply to the text with YES then follow the rest of the activation pages.

yes, you can definitely come back.  Please note the current rewards system PM offering is Public Points.  You will earn 5% for all spending you have on PM, Anniversary rewards and can earn Friend referrals rewards if you bring friends over

 

To come back PM with your phone number, make sure your Bell's account is active

Then get a Public Mobile sim card from

Once you have the sim card, activate your account at https://activate.publicmobile.ca/.  You will request to Transfer your exiting number instead of picking a new number.  Please provide your current phone number and the Bell's account number as the porting info.  And a reminder, if you have a friend code, enter it in Step 3 of the activation and get a one time $10 credit

 

Once activation  is completed , still have the Bell sim card in your phone.  Bell  will send you a SMS and ask your permission for the porting.  You need to reply YES within 90 mins for the porting to complete

 

Once replied yes, you can put your PM sim card in a phone and wait for incoming calls to come.  Reboot your phone ever 30 mins and test incoming call from another line.  If incoming call reaches your PM sim card, then the Porting is completed
