Currently, Panda Mobile has two marketing websites that offer different packages and plans. While most of the basic services and features are similar across both sites, the pricing and certain advanced features differ depending on the plan you choose. Before deciding whether to sign up with pandamobile.com or pandacellular.com, it’s important to carefully visit each website and compare their offerings.
Panda Mobile will soon be migrating all services to pandacellular.com, but in the meantime, both websites remain active and available. The steps outlined below serve as a guide that you can reference when creating and activating your line on either website through Physical SIM.
