Forbidden A1 and App Can't Log In

Colio — Fri, 22 Mar 2024 02:46:49 GMT

Hello, I just got both of my family phones set up and one SIM worked seamlessly. The second account encounters "Forbidden A1" on the site and the app login constantly resets when trying to log in. Attempting login to that account on other devices does the same thing.

The issue follows the SIM and the working SIM works for the second phone.. is this part of the 5 hour setup window or did the IMEI get set up wrong/SIM is defective?

@Colio

try this,

Click Logout on top left of the screen
uninstall the PM app, reboot and reinstall the PM app
Wait 5 mins for the system to configure on the back end.
Then log in again using the Email and Password.
The app will then sends a code to the Email again,. Enter the code
and you will see the prompt 'Confirm for Full Access' and your Activation will be completed after

if that does not work, open ticket with PM support:

There is no actual 5 hour setup window. The 5 hour timeframe has to do with the amount of time that a requested normal port from another wireless carrier should normally be completed by. Please try clearing the app's storage before attemping to log in to a different account. Otherwise, the app has been known to show the details of teh wrong account even after a successful log in.

Thank you, I tried the initial troubleshooting steps without success. The PM to CS Agent as you mentioned seems to be the only available option without account access.
