Where is this info about a randomly chosen account pin#? This is the first I have heard of this?
This is all good points but still confusing. Everybody is always mentioning receiving PIN through SMS.
When I signed up on line, I did Not receive any SMS with actual PIN. SMS was only saying: You have successfully created a new PIN, etc.
Same message when I asked agent to change PIN as I did not write it down first time.
And as per agent they CANNOT see and tell you back your PIN. It is used by system to verify it is really you. They can change it but cannot see it.

After activation, PM sent you up to 2 text message(s).
The first one contains a randomly generated PIN#.
If you supplied your PIN# doing your activation process, you will received a second text message with the PIN# you provided.
If you received only 1 text message with a PIN#, use the randomly generated PIN# in the first text message.
If you deleted the PIN# text from PM, you next to create a support ticket provided by the earlier posts.

Yes that is true but OP didn’t say he activated the SIM by a retailer but good point though.

When you activated your SIM, you would have created the secret PIN.
This is only true for non-retail-store activations. For activations done at a store, the customer doesn't get to choose a PIN. The PIN gets randomly assigned and the customer is made aware of the PIN through a text message from Public Mobile.

You will need a CS_Agent to help you in accessing your account so you can change a PIN number you will remember.

The CSA won't give you your account pin #. You can hazard a guess and if you are correct they will confirm it. I have mixed up account pin #'s and then given the correct one. Otherwise you have to answer the extra verification questions and reset it.

You may have to get from an agent. I just checked my 611 text from a few days ago and the text said I just set my PIN but didn't say what it was, good ol security measures

Check your texts from 611 at the time of your activation. You can also check in the settings of your phone for text messages on your SIM card if you are using the same phone that you had when you originally activated. Otherwise you have to contact customer support to change your 4 digit account pin #.
