someone else is using my email account on another public mobile account?

ctrller — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 09:53:45 GMT

perhaps someone can assist?

i have a public mobile account that i opened for my daughter a few years ago and opened using my email address.

when i tried to change the email address to my daughter's email address, i was told by the CS that the email was already in use with a different public mobile account.

This is not possible as she does not have nor ever had another public mobile account or account with any cell provider and having gone through her email, she has never received anything from public mobile regarding an account activation.

any solutions or suggestions?

Create or decide to use another email account. Contact a CSA and assign a new email to YOUR account.

If you've already contacted CS and were told the email is no good, there is not much you can do but use another one. You can use aliases if you want, so communications from PM will go to the main email account.

turns out that the cs agent miscommunicated the information to another cs agent and the issue has been resolved.

thanks to all for their input and help!!!!

@ctrller my guess is, that the CSA you were dealing with messed up.

Glad you went back to them to get it sorted out.

I just had a recent experience with what was probably a new CSA. An old timer stepped in and everything got sorted out... and then some. Took a couple days though.

So yes, if you're not satisfied with replies or you're being misunderstood...escalate. The old timers know what they're doing.
