Network/Account/SIM

I bought a Public Mobile SIM card from Telus today since I need to setup my phone ASAP.


I tried going through the process with the app, but it's trying to finalize the process by sending me a code to my new phone number, but it's not connected to the network, because the process is not finalized, because I can't finalize the process, because I need the code...

You get the idea.
Please help ASAP

@JD_Oh 

Did you put the new SIM in your phone and wait to verify the 2FA code with Roaming Data enabled?

No, there is no option to "Did not receive the code". It just keeps trying to send it to the phone which I can't activate.

Entering the wrong code 4 times just kicks me back, and restarts that impossible loop

@JD_Oh , support always verifies the legit account owner before interacting with a customer.  It is standard practice.  Are you able to use the did not receive code option to bring up the option of receiving the code via email?  I don't know it if is still possible, some customer used to say that entering the wrong code a few times will trigger the option to send code to email.

Additionally, no one is helping me in Customer Service.

Started 2 conversations, and the agent never replied once after I provided all of the info he requested.

In both instances, asked for additional info, sounded all nice and helpful. Bam, never cared of my issues.
