Invalid simcard number after activation broke

DerJ

I tried to activate the SIM and it failed in the last step... it was written I shouldn't worry and just log in again, but that's not possible I can't log in with the email/username/pw I gave and I can't activate the SIM again from beginning because now it says the SIM card number is invalid. I already charged it up with 40$ for my plan I wanted to have, what makes me a little bit angry now! What ca I do now?! Please help!

I have been trying to get in touch with the moderators through private messages, but I did not get a reply yet.

Could it be that I did something wrong without me knowing?

As you were on last step, I think account maybe created and voucher used but service not activated properly.  If after hour of wait, if says sim invalid or voucher invalid, you need moderator to finish the activation.

@DerJ  That is a common occurrence with the activation site. Don't worry though it's not a big deal.

As others have mentioned insert your sim in the phone. If it connects to Public's network your almost there.

@DerJ   did you try the Sim card in the phone just to make sure it didn't go through

@DerJ   if your credit card was charged try the Sim card in your phone.  If it's a voucher  maybe it didn't go thru and you have to wait an hour and try activation again
