Account login disabled

[brunovoyer]

Hello!

My friend just subscribed to PM.  A phone number was selected and properly activated and his phone works.  Payment has been processed successfully.

However, his account login has been disabled.  It turns out he used that account about a year ago and left it to expire  as he left the country.  The system won't let him create a new account with that phone number.

Any clue?

Thank you so much, @geopublic for your kind help.

I willdo so.

All the best to you.

Thank you @mimmo for your help.

I signed up online and it did accept the old e-mail address.

When I try to create a new account, it says that the phone number is already linked to an account.

Hi @brunovoyer   just a clarification did you sign up in a store or online yourself?

I am asking because I thought the system would not allow someone to use the same email address a second time and it would flag it during activation.  but your question implies that the system aallowedthe activation to proceed with an "invalid email address"

could it be possible that an account was not created, maybe try creating an account with the create account button.  (probably wont work)
