Hello. Trying to setup a public mobile account. I set up a username and password, completed email registration. Started a new setup, got a 802 error. I followed some community suggestions, but now I can't login to my account. I'm stuck.

@g00dsman - did your enter your payment details, and were you charged for the SIM card activation?
If so, insert your Public Mobile SIM card and reboot your phone.
Other troubleshooting to try:
*reset network settings on your device
*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.
*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

@g00dsman You got the 802 error during activation?
Do not try to activate again. Check your Credit card and confirm if PM has charged you yet. PM might have already charged your credit card at this point, the error 802 could be some sim provision issue or account setup issue.
You can also check if PM has already activated the SIM. Put the PM SIM in a phone and see if it is connecting to PM Network
I would also open a ticket with PM Support to confirm that the account is not activated yet and no charge posted yet before re-attempt activation
