Could someone tell me where I could buy a Public Mobile SIM card in-person in Quebec, in the Montreal area, please?

 

I'm pretty sure there are Public Mobile stores and/or kiosks around, I remember seeing them, but I can't find any in the store locator, and I can't remember of an exact location for any...

 

Thanks in advance for your time and your help!  : )

Not all Walmart locations carry SIM cards. I recently went to the Pointe-Claire location and they told me they don't sell SIM cards or Vouchers at this location. They wish they did as they often get people going there for such items.

Alright well thanks you two.

 

I'll try Best Buy/Koodoo while I'm downtown, and if they don't have I'll either try Wow! Mobile, or go to Walmart, whichever is most convenient.

 

Thanks again.

So essentially Koodoo and/or Best Buy should have Public Mobile SIM cards?

I don't know for sure, they say "koodo authorized dealers" which are them, but do call them to find out before you go and confirm

I live on the south shore and the Koodo location near me didn't sell it. They said it's select locations but that's all they new. They where no help at all.

If you blank out part of your postal code, it should be one of the last 2 digits, the 2nd number makes it too wide of a range to find out sorry.

 

Unless you held shift on the 3, and its actually H3H 1N9 lol

Yeah that was a 3.

There are only 2 within the city. The rest are West Island suburbs or on the South Shore. Wow Boutique is mostly in malls. Other locations are on the North Shore in Laval and other areas. In the Montreal area it's limited.

Other stores, resell public mobile services/sim cards, but its not a public mobile store.

 

Public mobile plans to in the very near future have kiosks, but not currently .
