Purchased a plan with an eSim but want to use a sim card

Hi, I purchased the $39 plan with eSim option but cannot install the app without changing my country, which I'm not prepared to do as I will be going back in a few months. I would like to transfer it to a Sim card which I already have one from Public Mobile.

Thank you

I love listening to Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason!

You need the app for  SIM or eSIM so you need to change the country.

@MetaMorpheusMob- That's a fun hobby. Do you have the lat/lon of the app? 🙂

How did you manage to post or purchace an eSim without the APP?

You can't have an eSim Without The App!?

people can just create a login  using website, no app

in fact, you can start the subscription process on web, just that you need to jump back to app to complete.  So, it is better to just use app to start till finish

you're aware that your PM account only works in Canada or USA (with a separately purchased add-on). Also, the sim you have must be new and un-used for it to work.

HI @Henry27 

you need the app to activate anyway!!

you have not activated yet?

If you use a physical sim card, you can ask a  friend to download and activate it for you on his phone for you and you can use the physical sim card on your phone

And where to get sim card? get it from Amazon.ca, only $4.99 or $10 from Telus/Koodo.  Do not get from PM online, it takes long
