My phone stopped working.

I've had this phone on your network for a couple of years now, and it has suddenly stopped working. I'm paid up, and as far as I know my account has not been disabled.

 

Is the network down or something? Can you maybe check the configuration on your end because I've done all the airplane mode and off-on nonsense that your mechanical turk was suggesting and it still does not work...

Does the phone turn on okay?

Does it connect to network?

Text works?

Calls?

Data?

Does other PM phones work in your area/building?

Which part is not working out of those on your phone.

What is not working?

SMS? Calls? Data?

You said 'my phone stopped working'? Hardware broken?

 

If you have cannot use PM services, try your SIM in another phone to narrow down WHAT is a culprit...

@spierepf 

Can you try putting your phone on 3G-only (WCDMA) to see if it works?

@spierepf   What do you mean stopped working?  Are you unable to call or text?  Telus is performing some equipment upgrades in certain areas and some customers are being impacted during this upgrade.  You could temporarily set your network settings to 3G/WCDMA as it's been know to fix this particular issue.

@spierepf 

Is your account status active?

Maybe try your SIM card in another working phone.  This helps determine whether hardware issue versus PM service problem.  

A few other basic troubleshooting advice:

reboot phone

network reset of phone.

Try:

 

  • resetting network connections
  • removing and reinserting SIM card
  • try your PM SIM card in another phone to see if you have service
  • try another provider's working SIM card in your device to see if you have service with it 

 

If the above steps don't work towards troubleshooting whether it's a device or account/SIM issue, try checking here:
