Sim activation problem

I'm having a hell of a time trying to activate my sim card. Every time I fill out the form it tells me my email is invalid and it is not. Help!

@Jodi2 How long is the email? Have you used that email with any other PM account? If yes, then that's why, the email must be unique or use an email alias as a workaround.

I might not have the right answer, but I am a new member and when I went to activate my SIM card it didn't like Edge, so I think I might have gone to Google Chrome or my Ipad and it accepted the information from there. It might be worth a shot. Good luck and Welcome to Public Mobile.

Hey!

Did you recieve the confirmation email when you ordered the sim? That ways it confirms if system captured your correct email ID or not.

Thank You!

@Jodi2 Do you have any extensions or Anti-Malware running? Try temporarily disabling them and also try a different browser.

Activating a sim card is in no way related to the e-mail address provided at the time of sim card ordering.
