I signed up for a new PM account yesterday at 5pm for my teenager (first phone for her!).
Got home setup a new phone and was able to login in to My Account to setup.
Tried resetting VM password and it says it's been reset to the 10 digit phone number but still unable to access the VM. When you call the new number, it has the voicemail recoring for some other person!
We are not able to call or send any text as well.
I sent a PM to the mods at 11:30pm last night and haven't heard back yet.
Pretty disappointing that a new line activataed just doesn't work as it should. No call, no text, no VM, nothing.
Signed up for the $15 plan.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Tried the suspend service, reboot, resume service, reboot... No luck

Try this...log into My Account / Plan & Add-ons/Lost-Stolen tab. Click it and click Suspend..then log out. Log back in and repeat steps only this time Resume. Log out and reboot phone. Let us know if that helps.

Try the lost/stolen feature. Log in to self-serve. Plan & Add-Ons from top menu. Lost/Stolen Phone from next menu. Suspend Service button. Log out. Wait a few minutes. Log back in and back to Lost/Stolen Phone and Resume Service this time. Log out. Restart phone. You could potentially lose any rewards that you have. 2. Manually add $1 into your account and restart the phone.

We only have one account with PM - this is the first one.

Phone was setup from scratch (new phone). Resetting would not be fun but if we had to I could. 😞

If you have more than 1 Public Mobile account...make sure you use a different email address for each account. You can use same name and credit card...but different email address is req'd.
Good luck.

Account status says "Active"

Unfortunately, moderators can take some time to respond (days in some cases).
As for your issues, try either a network reset or a full reset of the phone. That may clear up a lot of the issues (except the VM ... not sure about that one).

It can take 48 - 72 hours for a moderator's response. When you log into the self serve account what is the status ?
