Did you mean: 

I cannot activate my SIM or contact customer support.

I tried to activate my new SIM on the public mobile app but it says "Subscription not activated" and it tells me to contact customer support. Over the last 2 days I've tried to contact online support and it says 

"Apologies. No agents are currently available. Please try again later.

Agent Disconnected

Chat Ended"

I need to use this phone asap so any help is greatly appreciated.

I got stuck at the same activation place that you got to and have been waiting for CS to respond to my requests for assistance (tickets) but nothing after 2 days.

In fact, I am trying to cancel my subscription/plan but I have no access to that when in get into my account. Same as you, whether on the PM App or logging into the PM website on my computer, it keeps asking me to complete the activation which I cannot do, nor I can get in contact with any PM CS agent.

Totally unacceptable.

It looks like PM only works if one has no issues, otherwise it is unusable and a joke (that costs money but isn't funny).

You might want to send a private message to CS_Agent and then customer service agent would be able to resolve your issue.

Thanks, I tried all of those and also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app to no avail. I wish it let me go through the steps again but when i open and sign into the app it immediately brings me to the same screen as you see in the picture and my only option is to sign out. I sent a ticket so hopefully i get a response soon. Cheers.

@Joseph111 

try this,   

  1. Click Logout on top left of the screen
  2. Wait 5 mins for the system to configure on the back end. 
  3. Then log in again using the Email  and Password. 
  4. The app will then  sends a code to the Email again,.  Enter the code
  5. and you will see the prompt  'Confirm for Full Access' and your Activation will be completed after

if that does not work, open ticket with PM support:

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on top right) after the ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply to you there

This may sound silly @Joseph111 , but did you try removing and reinserting the SIM card, then:

  1. rebooting your device
  2. resetting network connections
  3. toggling airplane mode on/off

Sometimes PM gives messaging which causes undue confusion or things to seem differently than they really are.   Another common example is the on-screen messaging in self-serve when renewals occur when it appears a user's account is suspended, when in fact it's simply going through a renewal process.   Another is the silly e-mail they send people telling them how many Public Points they have when some of the recipients of this e-mail (myself included), are not with Public Points.

Anyway, don't intend to scare you off - just try the above and see if that gets any service going.

@HALIMACS  Oops my bad OP did sorry @Joseph111  still if using the all didn’t work you will need to contact CSA and you can use the direct link for them in my first reply and they can help
