Self serve sim crap

[RitaAnn]

I lost my sim chip before I even got to use it. I have bought a new one and can not set up my self serve because my new sim is not activated and I can not receive the 6 digit code due to not having the original sim chip therefore I do not have the number. Please help me!!

@RitaAnn Please clarify if you activated the sim you lost. If you did, you should've created an account already by providing your email and password. In this case, login to your self-serve account, and change the sim card number. If you did not activated the sim you lost, simply activate a line using the new sim card. 

If you activated a line at a store, only then you create a self-serve account which requires verification through a text message.

Try the old sim in activate. 

Try the new sim in activate. 

Key the number in and move to next field. 

If a red message pops up just to the right of the box where you entered the sim number, it will say invalid sim. 

Message = Sim has been activated 

No message = Sim is not activated

@RitaAnn  Not sure, but seems you did not activate the first SIM? If so just proceed with a new activation using the new one here: https://activate.publicmobile.ca

@RitaAnn Pretty simple fix. Contact a moderator. They will help get you sorted out. 

You can contact the mods one of 2 ways. Click the chat bubble bottom right of the browser as shown in the picture and open a ticket through the automated ticketing system; If you can't do this way because of no self serve account go to the direct message link below.

 

or you can contact them through direct messaging at the following link (note this way may take longer for a response);

In either case you should receive a reply within 48 hours though typically they are much faster. Watch the envelope icon top right for a reply.
