Did anybody experience no service tonight for public mobile? Did something happen?

@BoomDigital...
try using a different web browzer...try using Firefox if you haven't already.
Clear you cache files.
Try accessing your account again.

Log out. Clear your browser. Reboot your device. Try again.

see I keep getting this.
Oh no!
It looks like something went wrong, but don’t panic.
Log out and then log back in again to continue. Or return to the Login Page .
Can a moderator help me see what my sim card number is so I can check?

my account is really slow I can't even get to the page that apparently shows my sim card number to check. It just keeps loading in a loop, very frustrating.

Its really just how secure your account is, once bypassed they can get to things like your paypal and other stuff.

Is your account okay?
Lots of different scam out there. The scammers get access to your mobile phone and then able to access other online accounts like PayPal, etc. Public mobile is away of this situation, but need to figure out a good solution.

This is a possible simjack. login to your self serve account and click on "change sim" make sure the last 4 digits match the sim card in your phone. if it doesn't match then someone is commiting fraud. Reply to me if the sim numbers do match, so I can help you if it isn’t a simjack, it could just be a service outage.
If they dont match, please
Change your password on your self service account and check and secure all your financials. Change passwords on all other accounts such as email, etc.
Contact moderators and they can restore your services to your account.
Contact a Moderator (Public Mobile representative) for assistance.
Get help with your account the easy way by starting a conversation with our virtual assistant, SIMon. It’ll take you to relevant help articles, or if it’s something more urgent, it can help you submit a ticket to the Moderator Team.
You will not lose referrals, loyalty, etc
When Are Moderators Available And How Long Till I Get A Response?
During business hours, Public Mobile strives to answer customer messages swiftly. You will often get an answer within an hour. During peak periods, you may need to wait up to 48 hours. Moderators are available:
Just so you know, sim-jacking is a thing, where someone hacked into you account and switched the sim. This causes service to not be available on your sim while the person who hacked you has full service to your phone number, they can call, text, and use data from your account. Contacting a moderator can fix this by switching your sim back to the one in your phone.

There have been Sim jacking scams. In your self service account, check the last 4 digits of the SIM card. It should match the your SIM card in the phone. If it does not match, let us know since your account has been SIM jacked.

Just a crappy generic unhelpful reply. Mine is also down currently.
01-15-2021 11:21 PM
could you explain this? which number on the sim card? why would one have to do this? what does this have to do with the service outage?

Hello @BoomDigital ,
Try one or more of the below:
*turn off your phone, leave off for at least 3 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
*reboot your phone again
Check for outages in your area: http://outagereport.ca/publicmobile
or https://downdetector.ca/status/telus/map/

Hey! It seemed like that yes.
Mine was also off for 15 mins!
It was showing no signal
Its up and running now for me now.
Cheers

Check your sim card and make sure it matches the numbers in your account
