Can't activate SIM card

[christorrn]

Tried to activate SIM card. Got to end of payment.  Came back Error.  Started again. Couldn't get past first page.  Came up invalid sim.  Can't get past that.

@christorrn  glad everything is working on your phone. Just ensure you can log into your self serve account.

Waited a while.  Removed the SIM card.  Put in back in and it worked.  Thanks.

Hi @christorrn ,

Reboot your phone, do you have any services with the Public Mobile SIM?

If not, you likely timed out in your session. You only have a certain amount of time to complete the full registration. This happened to me as well when registering.

Try again in 1 hour, after clearing you cache and restarting your device.

Welcome!

UCheck your credit card to see if you have been charged.  Try rebooting your phone to see if you have service.  Also try using a different browser and incognito mode.  Clear your cache and cookies then reboot.  If you still need assistance then submit a ticket to a moderator by clicking on the question mark on the bottom right corner.

Did you pass the payment section?

If yes check if your card was charged.

If it was charged put your sim card in your phone it will likely work.

If it does work and you were charged go to link below to create your self serve account.

If you were not charged. System locks sim for 50 minutes. Wait one hour, clear internet cookie/ history cache open a fresh browser in incongnito mode and try again.

Don't forget a referral code for a $10 sign up bonus. If you used one and were charged and service works the credit will be applied within 72 hours.
