Store employees have no access to customer accounts. They could not have possibily attached this SIM card to your account. If they did something and you now need a code, that likely means that they activated a new account for you. Immediately check how much you were charged. if this is what ended up happening, this SIM card is now useless to you as it can't be attached to your existing account after it has already been used.

Hi @strangestrose ,

It sounds like you had another account created in error. Now you likely have two accounts.

The only way you can can assistance with this is through the Public Mobile Moderators.

See @JK8 post about how to reach them.

Explain your situation to them.
