Can you confirm that the sim number stamped on the actual SIM card and the sim number under the bar code are identical.

@newuser2022g  let us know what online chat tells you.  

 

or you can message them here as well:

You better use the live chat feature for activation of that sim card. Something sounds fishy to me.

Card says Public Mobile and I got it off amazon. How can I activate it?

Use the live chat for activations and see what is going on with the sim numbers.

PM sim cards have only 19 digits.

Look again more carefully.

Maybe it's not a Public Mobile sim card either.
