International Talk Add-On Not Working

brucemcgoveran — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:59:08 GMT

Hi. My base plan includes unlimited Canada-wide talk. I added the 400-minute international talk add on for $15 earlier this morning. Whenever I try to call overseas (London), I get a message stating that talk is not included in my plan. I've turned off my phone and removed the SIM as others suggested. I still can't make my call.

I would appreciate any suggestions on what do to.

Thanks in advance.

Did you do the 2 steps to getting an add-on?

1. Deposit money into your Available Funds.

2. Purchase add-on.

Re-check your self-serve to see your addon has been applied or not. Also, ask a moderator (Can take up to 48 hrs, 1 message at a time) if you still can't resolve. You might want to refer to this thread.

The add on has been applied. I still can't call internationally. I will ask a moderator as you suggest.

Thank you.

@brucemcgoveran, the problem could be with the dialing prefix. I use 011 exit code and then 44 country code followed by the number when calling the UK. I have the same add-on and it works.

As always will13am with the likely KISS. 🙂

If ~~you're going that route then it would be better to send them a private message rather than just the tag here.~~

~~Send ONE (1) private message to them here and include your phone number and PIN to minimize back and forth identity verification delays.~~

Forget your PIN? Then you'll need 3 of either of these pieces of information you used when you signed up: full address, birthdate, last 4 digits of CC you might have used, email address on the account, alternative phone number you might've entered when you signed up. Or, in addition, either of these to get to 3: last payment amount and date, last add-on bought and date.
~~And of course your question/problem.~~
~~Then hopefully they will get back to you as soon as they can between M-F 9-9 (ET) and Sat-Sun 9-7:30 (ET). But it could be up to a couple days.~~
Depending on your notification settings, you would get an email notifying you of a reply. Get back here and see a red blob over the little envelope in the upper right of your screen and click on it to see the message.

Encouraging the customer to seek moderator team assistance is not useful either. The customer has confirmed that the add-on has been purchased correctly and so there should be no account related issue to deal with.
