Phone call and text not working on a new activation

[RayLea2608]

Hello,

I got a new SIM card activated for my phone with public mobile on 3 days ago and I still cannot text or call. I am wondering if it's because my account information shows my next billing date as Dec 30, 1969, but I can't find a way to change it.

I tried making another payment  to reset the cycle but now it only shows that I have twice my monthly plan as a balance, with no balance owing, and I still do not have any service.

I already sent 3 messages to the moderators with no answer.

Can you please help (3 days paid with no service!!!)?

That does sound like a strange date for billing.  If the suggestions haven't worked, maybe try SIMon bottom right of your screen (bubble with a question mark).  He should be able to help you fill out a form to submit to Moderator_Team and you should get a faster response in return.

When you log into your account - what is the status ?

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 have. Manually add $1 into your account and restart the phone.
