Phone number is not assigned

PacificaPaddle — Sat, 08 Jan 2022 14:45:47 GMT

When you call our phone, there is a message that says the phone number is not assigned. We do not use this phone after much the summer. But payments have been withdrawn from our credit card. So what gives. SIMon is no help and I don't know how to created a support ticket.

If you try making an outgoing call, does it work? As the phone doesn't get used much, I would check if call forwarding was enabled and calls are mistaken being sent to a inactive phone number.

Please note that performing the above steps could not fix an issue with a number being reported as being out of service. This is something entirely on the network end.

As long as you pay your bills on time (autopay + valid credit card) you should have service.

Can you send/receive SMS?

Can you browse internet?

To contact CSA click here. You’ll need to be logged into your Community account for the link to work.

You can try to create a ticket but if it does not work first time, just send private message to CSA as per above.

- Click here and type ticket, then click on Contact Us, then click on issue you inquire about. Link for creating ticket will be presented.

Watch for their response in your Community private mailbox which will be indicated by a number on the small envelope icon to the left of your Community avatar.

@PacificaPaddleLog into your selfserve account, and check the account status. Confirm it says "Account Status: Active". Sometimes the autopay fails, and the status changes to "Expired" or "Suspended" - but that would be strange since you indicate you've seen the charges still recurring on your credit card. Normally, if it's been more than 90 days since the last active plan the account could be permanently closed, and the number would be lost along with that...

If you can't get into the self serve portal, try to reset the password... and if all else fails, you'll have to open a support ticket with the CS Agents. The support chatbot and ticket process has been very finicky for me for the last week or so, so it's probably easiest to send them a message directly using this link:

@PacificaPaddle - when was the last time you made a payment on this account?

What does it say when you call 611 from the Public Mobile device?

If active, Perform a Reset of the device's Network Settings. Can call come in after this?

Note - After 90 days of suspended/non-payment status, your account will be permanently deactivated, which means you will:

1-Lose access to your phone number (and Self Serve account), any rewards or Available Funds balance that was in your account at time of suspension, and won’t be able to transfer the phone number to a new provider in the future.

2-Need a new Public Mobile SIM card if you decide to activate a new Public Mobile account.

Please report back on the issues and if anything in this thread helped you.
