Hi everyone, just signed on to PM yesterday and I'm having some issues with it. Activated my SIM, but it errored out at the end. From the person who referred me, they told me they can see my account was activated and I can see that I was charged on my card, but I never got a confirmation email or anything. I can't log in with the information I entered to create an account during the activation process. Not too sure what's going on. I just tried to submit a ticket but I'm having an "error logging in" on that page as well with my community account (which I can login and use since I'm here posting on the forum). Hope someone can help, thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

I want to know my number is activate

I am having same issue, said activation error and it wants me to verify via text message but I have no service and nothing is working just tried to activate earlier and got text from old carrier about switching phone number please help

HI @alisyed1
it won't receive calls because porting was not done. You got a text from your old carrier about the port and you replied Yes to approve it?
there is a team to call and check the porting status, will message you the number and please call them to get it resolved. Check your Community inbox

Having a similar problem with porting a number. It works, but it wont allow to receive any calls and when I try to log onto my session on the Public Mobile app it tells me that it sent a code to this number, which I do not receive.

The link provided works inconsistently. Tried multiple times only to get an effectively blank PM page. My last attempt succeeded and I was able to send a message. Don't know why this time worked since I didn't do anything different.

Also, are you porting a number over from another carrier or are you getting a new number?

Can you check to see if your credit card was charged?
If yes, put sim in phone and see if it works.
If no, wait one hour and try to activate again. Clear your browser cache/history/cookies. Close browser and open a new browser in incognito/private mode. You can also use the live chat for activations:

You are welcome . Thanks for choosing my response as the solution @kyguy9 . Glad that we could help you . Have a great week.

Thank you everyone for the help! I contacted a moderator and found out that the SIM was not properly set up on the back end system. They were able to help me get up and running, and then all I had to do was set it up using the self-serve. Great suggestions everyone, much appreciated!

The most likely scenario that i believe for this situation is usually that the the the service works just fine but that only the self serve account didn't get created properly. As others have said, try to see if the services work after inserting the sim card into you phone. It's often just a matter of needing to complete the self serve registration process again.
If you encounter one of either the service not working or the self serve account not being able to be created, you do need to contact the moderators, but I would suggest against using the method that others have stated, at least for now. Private messaging the username Moderator_Team is not the ideal way because this can cause a delay. Messages sent to Public Mobile's customer service in this manner are given a lower priority.
To contact Public Mobile, and to ensure that you receive a higher priority in the service queue, first try openning a ticket through https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/ . I do realize that when creating a ticket, it will intially ask for your self serve account credentials, but there should be an option to verify your identity/that it's your account by using phone number and account PIN.

The referrer gets a text and the refer a friend increments up one on the rewards area of their overview page.
Well DUH - of course it's the OBVIOUS answer that CannonFodder overlooks!!! 🙄

So you were charged. Put sim in does anything work?
Clear history and cookies ..open new browser in Incognito mode and try register your self serve account again at link below

@kyguy9 Contact a moderator and ask them to provision your sim correctly for you. Use this link to contact them directly. https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
