SIM card stopped working suddenly

csaniok26 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:15:15 GMT

I have 2 Public Mobile lines.

1 stopped working suddenly.

The other one is working fine in both phones.

The broken SIM, I guess, is not working in any of them.

Please help asap.

What plan are you on?

What all doesn't work? Calls in/out? Texts in/out? Internet?

Just checked, SIM card and SIM card on profile has the same number.

So now I need to buy and activate another one ?

Will I get a refund ?

25$ plan

None of the devices/phones can see this SIM. Testes on 4 unlocked phones.

Second SIM is fine on all 4 of them.

It happened suddenly today in the morning.

@csaniok26 It can also be a provisional issue with your account so best to submit a ticket to PM and ask them to investigate before swapping cards.

To submit a ticket to the Moderator Team, please start a conversation with the Public's virtual assistant, SIMon by clicking the icon below:

Maybe give the SIM a little cleaning.

How long have you had it?

I can't say as I've heard of people getting free replacement SIM's.

Further to geopublic's thought...maybe manually add $1 to your account and restart the phone with that SIM in.

No SIM

If your getting that message in each phone youve put the sim in the sim is not being read. Its either defective, broken or cancelled. What happens when you call your number ? Does it go straight to voicemail?

Re: SIM card stopped working suddenly

csaniok26 — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 22:40:00 GMT

Yes

darlicious — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 22:50:10 GMT

@csaniok26 Unusual but it sounds like the SIM card is broken/defective. You have no reason to think your account is comprised? You can log in and there's no unusual activity in your usage history?

Re: SIM card stopped working suddenly

csaniok26 — Mon, 06 Jan 2020 22:53:52 GMT

Nothing unusual.

Support is trying to help in separate messages.

@csaniok26Put your priority on answering them by watching your private mail. But it sounds like you need a new SIM. How old is the SIM you have? Can you get a new one easily?

Hi All,

Thank you for your help and support.

Moderators helped by performing a hard reset of my SIM, at the back end, and after some time it started working again.

All the best !
