I paid for an eSIM and a $40/mth subscription but am unable to get the app to activate the SIM/service. I've been told there is no workaround for this issue, is it possible to get a refund for an unactivated service?

1 If you are not even a customer yet, because you haven't activated the Simcard(that means you don't have a PM account yet), THERE IS NO WAY you have paid for a plan in advance. Here you cannot process a prepaid subscription for a plan payment if there is no account where to to pay for it, is common sense, this is a PrePaid service and you need an active account to pay for a plan. Simple Logic.

when i try to do that and click continue activation it tells me my password and email don't match even though they're the same as the ones I used to login here

The Public Mobile app isn't needed to activate the service. Please activate by visiting publicmobile.ca.

Can't you just order a physical SIM and just activate it via the online portal?

Apparently that's the case, would be great if they made you download the app before you buy anything in light of this issue. At this point I have zero faith that if I were to get a physical card I'd be able to transfer the service that I've already purchased onto a different SIM

I thought people who cannot connect to Canadian app store cannot install the app and cannot activate then? You able to sideload the app?
can you get a physical sim card for now?

you can reply the support's message and see if they can reimburse you the cost. Of course, you can reply them on the same message and see if they can provide refund

@Rebach who told you about no workaround for the issue?
Exactly what happened? Your phone is not connecting to the network? What error you have?
PM support should be able to fix the activation problem. Please open ticket with them for further investigation or refund request
