@safia_gravel,

 

When you get back to Canada, is there someone picking you up at the airport? Or are you staying with family? If so, can that person buy a SIM card, set up a plan for you, and when you arrive all you'll need to do is pop the SIM in your phone.

Thank you,  I will give you my address. But I would be happy to reimburse you (paypal?, money order?) for your help.  I still have about 4-6 weeks before I really need to have this ready so there is some time.

I have one that I can ship you at no charge.  I am not sure how long it would take to get there but if this is something you would consider private message me and I will give you my email address to contact me

Maybe, but they also tagged a moderator so...

 

I think more info like where they are located, what’s their timeline, why do they want one, etc would be super helpful.

@mtfolks I think they know the official channels but are looking for an "out of the box" workaround.

@safia_gravel If you have a friend in Canada, you can ask them to buy a sim card & ship it to you. Or you can go to EBay or Amazon looking to see anyone is selling it so you can buy 🙂 hope that helps

Public Mobile SIMs are only delivered to Canadian addresses. They can be purchased at many Walmarts, WoW Mobile and K Mobile locations in Canada.
