Sure you can. I don't want repeat how to do it since someone have done.

I would suggest you contact moderator team and let them blacklist your lost phone then nobody could use your lost phone anymore:

I didn't know that public mobile can blacklist a lost phone....


I googled if the phone was lost, need to contact carrier to blacklist the lost phone.

After you login and go to replace Sim it will put your plan and phone number  on that new Sim so just pop it in a another phone as long as it's unlocked or good for public mobile/koodo/Telus! 

As long as you keep your account active, you will keep your number.

  1. log into your online account
  2. go to the stolen/lost phone menu and disable your current phone & sim card
  3. purchase a new sim card & activate within the same account
  4. re-enable your phone (found)
  5. You should be good to go within 1-hour

Hi @Cindy7 Get a replacement SIM, Login to your selfserve account. Go to Plans and Add ons -> Change SIM card and put in your new SIM card serial number.. give it a bit of time (I would say 30 minutes).. power down your phone.. put in the new SIM card and power on.

 

I also recommend doing these procedures during off peak hours to minimize potential errors.
