Public Mobile has officially expanded its Fast Switch feature to physical SIM customers looking to switch over to a Koodo postpaid plan. This update allows users to complete their entire mobile migration in just a few minutes, removing previous delays.
To take advantage of this faster switching process, customers are required to transition to a Koodo postpaid eSIM. The migration requires users to provide their device’s unique 32-digit EID number during the checkout and activation flow.
For Android users, the EID can be found by dialing *#06# or by searching for EID within the main system settings. iPhone users can locate this number by navigating to the settings menu and selecting the about section. Public Mobile noted that if no EID is displayed, the current device does not support eSIM functionality, meaning an equipment upgrade would be required to use the new system.
The Telus prepaid brand said that the EID must be entered with complete accuracy during the checkout process, as any typos or invalid numbers will completely block the eSIM download. Once the activation details are submitted and verified, the new Koodo postpaid eSIM provisions directly to the device.
If the automated activation notification fails to appear on the screen during setup, customers can connect with Koodo Assist to have a customer service rep manually provision the profile.
Koodo postpaid accounts offer benefits over Public Mobile prepaid, such as international roaming options, call control spam prevention, and monthly device financing, says the company, and recently download speeds up to 1 Gbps.
