Hello @crobertsindustr 

 

If your status shows ACTIVE on your Self Serve account, or when you call 611 it says status, have you tried all these trouble shooting steps:

 

*turn off your phone, leave off for a minutes, then reboot                                                            

*removing your SIM for a few minutes, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode for a few minutes, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

The new sim card doesn't fit in the old phone.

 

I can't see where it would say active account status when I log in...


 

@crobertsindustr   after you login, you should see the status on the front page

The Public Mobile Triple Punch SIM card fits most phones as it’s a 3 model,

1. Standard

2. Micro 

3. Nano

If you plug your SIM card into another phone, such as your old Sonim XP7, does it work with the Public Mobile network?

 

What does your account status say when you first log in?  Does it say your ACCOUNT STATUS is ACTIVE?

do one thing Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,

and take your SIM card out and waiting for a 2 minute and put it back and turn on -This one is quick and simple.

 

what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

 

or can you do try reseat the SIM card

1. power off your device

2. take out the SIM card,

3. wipe it clean SIM card,

4. put it back and power on,

5. toggling airplane mode off/on,  

 

and do again Rebooting your phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

Welcome to the Public Mobile Community!  🙂

 

To clarify, what happens when you say you don't have "access to the network"?

 

Have you created + able to log into your Self Serve account online?

Are you able to dial 611 or anywhere else?

Can you send text messages or have any data access?
