Think this must be somewhere in the Lab but cannot find it. Robot Frustrated

 

Sell PM SIMs in locations where vouchers are available for $5. That's it that's all.

 

Would be cool to get 7-11 stores on board as many of their phones are unlocked. So, one could get a phone, SIM, and voucher at one location. Staples and Best Buy would also be good bets.

Great idea. As an incentive, some vouchers could be packaged with a SIM for say less than the regular $5.

Such a great idea this will be so convenient

Yes, physical pickup locations would be convenient.  There would probably be costs added by the retailer to carry them, but then PM would save on the express postal fees.

Here are a few similar lab posts:

Pick-up from Telus outlets:

SIM card pickup depots, e.g drug stores, Costco:

@SD08

Pretty sure new or even existing users won't mind paying bit more at least they don't have to wait for shipment

Yes.  PM could have both options.  The delivery option would be for those who can wait, or aren't close to any pickup locations.

+1 Yes, make sense.....  especially how unreliable Canada Post can be. Community mail box = mail going to wrong address.  Also if one makes the decision to sign up with PublicMobile, why make them wait for a SIM?  

 

Also for tourists, have them at airports, train stations, etc.

I think physical pickup from Telus/Koodo is most conveniant but would they allow that?

 

7-11 is tough; they sell thier own SIMs for $10 because they know you pay for a plan at same time

I  agree. If place like Walmart carried sim cards it would get more people to join the network. Plus would allow for a replacement sim to be purchased right away instead of being without service as Canada Post takes forever to deliver
