I activated the public mobile SIM card and then inserted it into my phone but my phone says the SIM Card is unregistered. Can someone help me? I know the phone is compatible and it is unlocked. I dont know what the issue is

My best guess would be that you didn't finish activation. Did you click the submit button at the end? It's way down on bottom. Do try activating the card again. Hope this helps

The standard process is to turn off the phone first before inserting the SIM in the phone.

This step is commonly missed so just reboot the phone by powering off by holding down the power button then turn back on.

This normally fix the issue, if not, let us know and we can help further.

Try one of these remedies:

- Reboot device

- Reset network connections

- Toggle airplane mode on/off

- Re-seat - remove and reinsert SIM card

Try SIM in some other phone. That will determine if it is your phone hardware issue.

If everything fails most likely your SIM requires provisioning; contact agent for assistance as suggested.

Does your account says: Active?

@bWiebe   Try to reseat the SIM once (power off, take sim out for a minute before you  put it back and power on)

 

If still fails, it could either be just SIM provisioning issue, which PM Support can fix quickly, or a faulty sim.  Please open ticket with PM Support and have them check on the system:
