@yodahe01  - when you log into your Self Serve account, here: https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/Overview/. check the 4-digits listed under the 'Sim card' selection under the "My Profile" area.

Make sure they match the actual last 4 digits of your SIM card.

 

If they match GREAT!

 

IF they do not match, you were a victim of SIM fraud.  😞

List your phone in lost/stolen status.

Check your other financials. 

 

And, let Customer Support know asap.

Two methods to reach them here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-a-moderator

@yodahe01 

More details would be helpful.

Did you port your number from another mobile company? or picked a new phone number?

In your self service account, is your account status active or suspended?

Does anything work?  text? data?

Which model phone? 

 

 

Some basic troubleshooting advice:

Reboot phone

Network reset of phone.
