@ ModI think I did the @ sign correctly to have a private chat with a Mod can you please advise, I wan to include my account info in a private conversation with a Mod.
Issue is I lost my cell phone, I bought a new phone and a new sim card but I can't activate my new sim card on my account without "for security purposes" having a code text or emailed to me! I can't have it texted to be because I already explained that above and I can't log in to my gmail without having a code text to me either! This 2FA stuff should be optional it is to login to our account I want it off my account just totally.

Please be aware that mod, mod1, moderator, or any similar username don't belong to moderators or Public Mobile staff. The username for customer service is CS_Agent. Even if tagging that username, please only send account details by private messaging. Better yet, please only use the chatbot to open tickets as this will provide account verification without the risk of accidently sending account details to the wrong place. Tagging CS_Agent here is unlikely to get them to contact you, and including your account details here will actually make it so that anyone can see them.

Indeed, the correct way to use @ to tag users is to type the @ symbol, then begin typing the username of the user you wish to tag.
However, the user you identified is not a "Mod". Public Mobile used to call their customer service staff "Moderators", however they are now called "Customer Support Agents", and are correctly identified by the username CS_Agent using the @ symbol beforehand.
Regrettably there are many users (spammers trying to screw other users around) who create usernames which mimic support staff by using titles which may confuse some folks.
Only ever respond to customer support agents through Private Message utilizing the ticketing process outlined earlier to reach them. Once they respond to your support ticket, reply directly to that agent on Private Message.
Some CSA's have used this public forum to reach out to users, and albeit it's a nice gesture, can seriously confuse inexperienced users to think they can share all sorts of personal information here - don't ever do that.

If your account is suspended then you will get 2FA code to your email, but it looks like your email with PM is no longer exit. Second you don't need activate new sim card, you login your account to change sim card number to the new one. Since you can't login your account, you can follow @softech suggestion.

once you regain access to your account there is an option to disable 2fa in your self serve account. it's under "profile"

you just need to open ticket with PM support and have them to change the email to one you have access now:
1. Open ticket with Chatbot for faster response (2-48 hours), using direct link: https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.
Start by typing "Forgot Login Information", then click "Contact Us",, then click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗"
2. if you have problem with Chatbot: Private message CS Agent at:
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened. CS Agent will reply to you there
