Problem with Switching from Canada/US plan to Canada only + US add-on

colleeno — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 21:31:03 GMT

UPDATE: Problem solved but still a mystery. Turns out Roaming was turned off on his phone and is now working when he turned it on. The mystery is that his Canada/US plan had been working for the 3 months he has been in Florida with Roaming turned off.

——————————————-

I am trying to troubleshoot for an elderly friend who is currently in Florida. He is not tech savvy. He was on a Canada/US plan for the last 3 months that was working fine but because he is driving back to Canada in the next few days and his plan was up for renewal today, he decided he wanted to switch back to his original $15 plan + US Data/Call/Text add-on. I helped him do that yesterday but since then he has completely lost service. I’m at a loss as to how to help him because it was all working well up until the point of switching plans. He has an iPhone 6s.

@colleeno

has he tried shutting down the phone completely...then restarting it ? Tell him to give that a try.

I logged into his account yesterday and was on the phone with him at the same time. He received the 2FA which I used to log in. I changed his plans for him while we were on the call and, as I did that, the call dropped and he has been without service since.

Yes, he supposedly has done that. Most of the frustration now is that it is difficult to get in touch with him.

@colleeno

so when you log in to his account, is the new $15 plan active and he has a 15 Day US Roaming add-on successfully applied ?
