Public Mobile Activation

[Chris937]

Hi guys,

I've got one question, here are the facts:

Bought a Public Mobile SIM at Walmart in Canada today and thought everything would be fine and activated (turned out it isn't). 

I chose the plan with 4 GB of data and unlimited calling and texting for 40 CAD/month and got my SIM right away. I updated my APN to sp.mb.com and didn't change anything else.

I received an email prompting me to sign up for my self-serve account, but when entering my phone number and the 6-digit code sent to me via sms, it always sends me another 6-digit code after entering the previous one (tried that for about 6 times).

I paid 40 CAD at Walmart for my first month of my plan, but this doesn't seem to show up at my account, because when I dial *611, I get an error message saying "sorry, your service has be temporarily suspended. Please make a payment to resume your service.". 

I don't really know what to do at this point other than reaching out to you guys in the community. I hope that someone of you can help me out as I'm really confused and annoyed at the difficulties I'm facing here. 

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Christian

Btw I am using an iPhone 6S Model 1688 which should be a "World-Phone" so it should be able to operate with the Public Mobile bandwith frequencies.
