Phone service not working

I recently returned from the UK and I’m not able to receive calls or place a call. I’ve tried all the suggested tricks, however nothing appears to be working.

I know my payments are up to date because my monthly bill charges have gone through my credit card.

Is there no number to call for assistance?


Sorry, but there is no phone number to call.  Fro the password issue, please go to https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html and after opening that link, type in "forgot security question answer".

Did you check your account if it is still active or it is suspended due to no pay?

If it shows inactive is there enough funds to cover the cost of the plan?

 

If yes try adding another dollar or try the lost one trick by putting your phone into lost one mode for a minute

@SR10 - not sharing what you tried this will like be repeating some of it, so I will suggest it anyways...

  • first, does it show ACTIVE in your self serve account?
  • have you been in nonpay status for over 90 days, if so you lost your account, number and access to self serve
  • can you try your SIM card into another compatible phone to see if services work
  • If it does works in another phone, perform a reset of your network settings with the PM card inside the phone that doesn't work.
  • if if does not work in another phone, then you are either in nonpay/suspended status, you have a SIM issue or you have an account issue. Before considering replacing your SIM card, I would consider having CSA check your account.
