Hi mods,
My name is elaine and I tried to activate my new sim and also transfer my Fido number just few minutes earlier but received the Generic Error "Oh no! It looks like something went wrong, but don't panic". I tried to activate it again but the same sim number would no longer work. My friend apparently already got the message of successfully referred a friend, does this mean my account has already been activated?
I cannot log in with the email regardless. I would love to know what I should do next.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

@elainec10 if you can't create an account then contact customer support here
type "locked out of self serve"
(use the chat bubble options, then click "forgot my security questions" then click "submit a ticket, click me" option)
https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/
make sure to check your inbox(top right corner envelope icon) periodically, for a response

That was a very good idea to check my card history, it was indeed charged and now it is working! Thank you so much for your help.

@elainec10 Try the sim in your phone. Dial 611 is your account active? If yes, you are good to go. If not, then you need to wait for the session lock before trying the activation again.

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.
https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/self-registration/
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.
