SIM card activation failed

[kvaculik]

Hi there, 

I am trying to ativate my SIM card but everytime I try to make the payment I get this message: "Sorry, we are unable to process your credit card request. Please ensure your credit card details are entered correctly and try again. If you continue to experience problems, please contact your credit card provider for more information."

The Visa card details are entered correctly. My card is active. My personal contact info matches my payment info exactly.  I've also tried using serveral different browsers without avail. 

From reading the online forum, apparently this is a very common issue with no straightforward answer.

@kvaculik Suggest you try again in the morning; multiple attempts with the same credit card can lead to problems.

And, since the moderators are slow responding lately, also recommend you click this: message to moderators to send a private message to the moderator team with a description of your issue along with your SIM card number, complete mailing address, and email address.

Moderator hours are: Monday to Friday, 9 am (ET) to 9 pm (ET); Saturday - Sunday 9 am (ET) - 7:30 pm (ET). Usually they answer within in 24 hours, but can take a few days.

Hang in there; better days to come.

And of course it's a Canadian credit card with a Canadian address?

And it's not a gift card type Visa but a refillable or normal one?

You could also sign-up using vouchers. You buy vouchers online and use that instead.

If there are dashes or spaces in your address try without. Also be aware that some people got the credit card charged anyway every time they attempted to enter the address. Do you have online banking and can check the "pending transactions"?

Incognito mode did not work.

@kvaculik, try again also after clearing browser cache, incognito mode.  Of course make sure that the browser is up to date.

 @kvaculik:

If you have a unit number in your address then put that into the main address line. Don't use the unit field.

Make sure the address matches exactly that of the credit card.
