@PietroC going by what you posted, it seems that you got a number already in use. You can change your number from within your self service account once per 30 day cycle.

I would also contact the moderators and inform them. This is the 2nd or 3rd time this week that this happened. There are 2 ways to contact the Moderator Team:

Faster response- Get help with your account the easy way by starting a conversation with our virtual assistant, SIMon. It’ll take you to relevant help articles, or if it’s something more urgent, it can help you submit a ticket to the Moderator Team. Click here to get started.
Slower- Alternatively, you can send a private message to the Moderators by clicking here. You’ll need to be logged in to your Community account for the link to work.

Once connected to Simon, you will be asked to log in again with your community user name and password. Please do, this allows you to continue and send your message.
- Check your private message sent box (click on the envelope top right of your screen) to make sure the message was sent.

- Keep an eye on the envelope top right of your screen. The mods answer will show up there. When it does, you will be asked to verify your self service account, with your password and login. Doing so allows the process to continue. Stay safe.

Welcome to PM .

Easy things first....double check and make sure you're dialing the correct number. Log in to your account and confirm the number.

@PietroC Use the change number option from selfserve and pick a new number. Don't forget to restart your phone.

@PietroC

I'll add to only change your number if you haven't ported in a phone number and are using the new phone number that was assigned/chosen by you during the activation. If that's the case, don't bother wasting any time contacting the moderators. When Public Mobile mistakenly assigns an already active phone number, there really isn't anything that they can do but change the number for you. That's something that you can do yourself.
