You should trying take your SIM card out and putting it back. It’s ususlly the SIM card that could be causing the problem. Also, hard power your device. Hope it helps

From your pm to me:

I cant make any phone calls and it says i have no long distance add on even if im trying to call a local number, i have no access to my self serve, i am locked out and it wont let me reset my password. I tried taking my sim card out, but i am still unable to make any calls


 @Lbain

Which plan are you on?

If the $10 plan, maybe you've used all your minutes. If so, then you could purchase a long distance add-on with the 611 service (needs your 4-digit PIN and a credit card already set up) and then you could make calls.

If not the $10 plan and since the password reset didn't work for you then all you can do is contact the moderators here.

(any plan with talk can add long distance add-ons...not just the $10 one...by the by)

 

Send ONE (1) private message to them here and include your phone number and PIN to minimize back and forth identity verification delays.
Forget your PIN? Then you'll need 3 of either of these pieces of information you used when you signed up: full address, birthdate, last 4 digits of CC you might have used, email address on the account, alternative phone number you might've entered when you signed up. Or, in addition, either of these to get to 3: last payment amount and date, last add-on bought and date.
And of course your question/problem.
Then hopefully they will get back to you as soon as they can between M-F 9-9 (ET) and Sat-Sun 9-7:30 (ET). But it could be up to a couple days.
Depending on your notification settings, you would get an email notifying you of a reply. Get back here and see a red blob over the little envelope in the upper right of your screen and click on it to see the message.

 @Krafty84x:

Try the lost/stolen feature.
Log in to self-serve. Plan & Add-Ons from top menu. Lost/Stolen Phone from next menu. Suspend Service button. Log out. Wait a few minutes. Log back in and back to Lost/Stolen Phone and Resume Service this time. Log out. Restart phone.
See what happens.

 

 @ACurrie:

The other trick to try is manually adding another $1 to your account and restart the phone.

@ACurrie

If your plan status is active, you can try the lost/stolen phone trick.  

 

Report your phone lost/stolen in self service account.  Logout.  Wait few minutes.  Login.  Report your phone found.

 

These actions sometimes will reset your SIM/re-activate account.

If nothing is working check the account status to see if it is active.  If it is active then maybe it is a SIM issue.  Best bet it to contact a moderator to look into it.

@ACurrie, what does your My Account (Self-Serve) say?  Is your account Active or something else?

Thank you @ACurrie

 

Just to clarify, you have been able to make calls before, just not as of this morning. 

So everything was working normally until recently. 

What does your self serve account show? did you have any recent account changes or auto payments?
