I just activated my SIM today, and attempted to pay for a 3 month plan with my credit card. For some reason, the payment didn't go through, but I did get the verification e-mail, which I clicked to verify.
Now when I go to the self serve page, I can't log in. I get the error "Sorry, your login attempt failed. Please try again."
When I click the Forgot Password link, I get the error "Sorry, we’re unable to verify your email address."
If I try to create account and enter my new phone number (it was not ported), I get the error message "The phone number entered is invalid or you may have created your profile already. If you've forgotten your password, please click here".
If I try to do the account setup again (Activate SIM), I get an "Invalid SIM" error at the top.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have the same problem! Number hasn't ported, but now doesn't appear to be eligible for porting.
I've pm'd @MarieHelene_L - hope she can help with this issue too!

Hello @Andrzej03,
I'm sorry to hear about this,
I see that you have sent us a private message last night during our offline hours.
In your message you say: **I paid into my account for 400 min and I am in th US. I have been using my phone in the US just fine until 1 pm today when my service was lost.**
I would like to confirm that the 400 long distance minutes add-on is a domestic package and cannot be used outside of Canada.
Can you please specify which add -on did you purchase?
Thanks,
Shazia

I was activating my SIM and Plan on the website and the session froze.
I waited for a while and I close the session and tried to start the process again and it seems that it would no longer take my SIM.
I can't log into my self serve account as it says it can't recognize me. I tried to reregister with my number and it says that I am already registered.
Not sure how I can proceed further.
Thanks

When i try to login says my email and password fails and my email address does no exist when i submit forget password. I've recieved email from PM that i have been charged... sent email for help and no response. This needs to be fixed!!

Hi all, I just wanted to follow up with everyone... despite the delay and uncertainty in activating my account last week, I am happy to report that my phone is working. Mary manually activated. I then was able to port my Koodo number using the instructions within the community and within 10 minutes, my number was ported.
I also just activated and ported from Koodo a second number and everything ran smoothly.
Finally, some phones require that the APN settings be changed manually when your data isn't working upon activation, so you can also find instructions in the community.
It was worth the wait. 🙂

Hi,
I am also new to Public mobile and am experiencing the same issue.I just activated my sim card, paid for my new plan and verified my email. I noticed in my payment that the next payment renewal date is Oct 1, 2016 which is not correct as I am on a 90-day plan. I went to the self-serve account to tr to fix this howevery it says that my email is invalid. @Mary_M, would you be able to help me on both these issues? The next auto-payment date should be in December.
Thanks.
