Hi there @pvwheeler, 

I'm really sorry about this 😞 

If you haven't already messaged another moderator, could send me the answers to this form  https://activate.publicmobile.ca/ and your email address in a private message? I will then create the account for you. Instead of filling out the form, just answer it on the message itself. You don't need to answer questions 1 and 2 under "Set-up Your Self Serve Account" as you'll be able to do that yourself later. 

Thank you! 

*** Due to a high volume of messages, it might take me a while to get back to you. I apologize for this delay.

I had the error yesterday and was able to get it done. Try the following:

These are the 2 changes I made, not sure which one caused the thing to work but give it a try.

Shorten your first name. My mine is XXXX-YYYYYYYY so I used XY instead. You can change it later.

Register your adress to a different province. I entered my correct address but used ON instead of QC and used a random ON postal code.

Those were the 2 changes I made to bypass the regex error.

Good luck.

EDIT: Make sur you don't use a previously used email address for Koodo/Telus.

I'm actually a little suprised it works for some people.. We are 0 for 4 on new activations here over the last 5 days...
