New SIM Activation not working

[tmillernl]

Just went through the activation process and the last screen after submiting flashed up a bunch of red text with what appeared to be an error then the screen went to the final Congratulations page saying it was complete.   Phone don't work so have to assume there is something wrong.  To compound the problem, I used my gmail address that was assigned to an old PM account and when I try to log in it says the account was disabled.  So I can't log in to see what the SIM status is.

@tmillernl   glad it work!!!

yes, if logging into My Account is an issue, open another ticket.  I am not how good, smooth, it will be for recycling old email address for Self-Serve.  Let us know if it works..

[tmillernl]

I used my email address becuase that is what PM directs you to do.  In order to reactivate the account you have to use a new SIM, which I did

If your credit card has not been charged, try activating the SIM again. Use a browser in private/incognito mode.

If you're stuck with errors, contact CS for help: 

Open a ticket via:
https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html (faster response time)
Type "ticket" > Click "Contact Us" > Select your issue > "Click here to submit a ticket↗"

or send a private message to:
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

After sending the message, watch your community inbox for their reply.

Since the PM SIM is a different number from your old PM SIM. It might be OK.

I would reboot the phone as noted by @softech.

Contact the CS Agent to check if your activation is completed.

can you log in to self-serve ("My account")? There hou would see the status of your account. At Public Mobile it is one account one email, the same email can (and should) be used for self serve and for community, but for a second account a different email should be used. Of course it could be possible that the phone is not co figures properly or a port-in not completed, but given you are a former customer we can most probable eliminate those. As a last resort you could send a message to CS_Agent for them to check your status.

@tmillernl   why you use a gmail account that was assigned to an old PM account to login?  Which email address did you use for this new activation?  or you meant you have used the same Gmail address for this new activaton?

Also, did you check if your Credit Card was charged by PM yet?

If charged, then it is a good sign, probably activated.  Try to reboot your phone once more time..  If it still not works, let us know what the error message you see on the screen (No Network?  SIM not provisioned?)
