Hi there,

i’ve lost my sim card during an international trip. I would like to get a new sim card with the same number. Is it possible?

@Ashna Please lock your account through the PM account first. 

 

Then I would suggest you buy a new sim card at a local store that might have any. If not I strongly suggest you order online through amazon or canada cell phone supplies, deliveries are pretty quick. Be sure to order two in case you ever lose it again or it gets hacked in the future, doesnt hurt to have a back up.

@Ashna When you get the new SIM card, you might want to buy it from a local Kiosk instead of ordering from PM online.  PM online take quiet some time for deliver (3 weeks or more)

@Ashna Yes, it is possible.

 

You may want to consider to put your phone into Lost/Stolen mode to suspend service, to do this follow the below steps: 

    • Log in to you Self-Serve account
    • Go to Plans and Add-Ons, then select “lost/stolen phone”
    • Select “suspend service”

 

Then obtain a new SIM card.

 

Have Moderators SWAP the SIM number so your have the same phone number and account.

@Ashna You'll have to buy a sim card at a store that sells Public Mobile sims or order from the Public Mobile site.  When you have it, click the chat bubble and type sim card swap to have moderator switch it.
