In-store activated SIM card won't work

[chiaki_05]

Like admin on PM Facebook page suggested me, I write here as on July the 27th I activated a new sim in the Walmart (Toronto, St. Clair) but my sim card won't work on any phone (many clerks there tried the sim out and didn't work on their device either).

I subscribed for the Talk&Text 10$ plan, referred a friend to get the 10$ (who, by the way, already got its 1$ credit), activated in store to get the 20$ credit + free sim card, charged my account with a 28$ voucher to be sure to have enough money to switch to the 4.5GB unlimited text unlimited canada wide call plan once I got the credit on my account, got the clerks to activate my account for self-serve then tried the sim out... and it has been 2 days that the signal is COMPLETELY gone.

My self-serve account which I subscribed with the same e-mail I used for my community account, appartently never got activated either as I didn't get any confirmation e-mail.

Back to the store yesterday I reported the issue and the clerks weren't able to provide any help nor refunds, they gave me a brand new non activated sim and told me to report to you to get help.

I don't want to lose the chance to get the 4.5 GB for 40 $ promotion on my account for an issue I'm not guilty of and I wish to see both my sim and my self-serve account activated asap with the money I paid for your service.

I am in Canada to look for a job and not having a number is a huge problem for me. Please do something about it as soon as possible and make me change my mind again on your company service team

Looking forward hearing from you soon with a solution or a refund.

Have you activated the replacement SIM? You said that they gave you a a new SIM when you went back to the store. That SIM has to be activated. 

Also, what phone do you have?

I did already, tried to reach them both on Facebook and here privately, still waiting for a solution. I don't want to lose my money and my patience.
