Can't send/receive texts after switching, can't log in under problem account

[Mark_Neily]

I'm in a bit of a catch-22 here

My mother's a new Public customer but she has been unable to receive text messages since switching over her number from her previous provider last week.  I have tried to submit a support ticket for her, but I can't submit a ticket without logging in to her account.  I can't log into her account without going through the EverSafe verification.  I can't complete the EverSafe verification because they are sending a text message to her number... which she can't receive, as that's the reason I am trying to get support in the first place.

Does anybody have any ideas, either on how to fix it or on how to get into her account to submit a ticket?  We have tried shutting down the phone and taking the SIM card out and in, and we have confirmed with her previous provider that that account has been cancelled.

PM has problem provisioning text capability for new activations.  And if you are an iPhone user,  iMessage activation by phone number will also be impacted without a working SMS. 

PM is working on a fix but for now, they can only resolve the issue on a case by case basis.

Instead of using Chatbot, you can use direct message with the link below to submit the ticket
