You'll have to message the moderators for further assistance. Good luck and let us know when and how it gets resolved.

Which phone are you using?

For iPhone, have you try this procedure?

Solution removed as OP still having issues.

 

@Crash2, have you sent a private message to the Moderator_Team account?  As I write this, they are not working at this time, but will be at 9 AM Eastern Time.

What I meant was tried my koodos card and the phone works with her account -  so not a phone issue - tried roommates rogers sim card and no issue? 

 

Went to the store and returned the card and got a new card and still the same issue.

I'm a bit confused...you've indicated that you have been provided with a solution to your question. Is that correct or are you still unable to use the phone.
