Ohh, I am sincerely sorry for all this trouble 😕

 

Let's wait for the SIM card to work first and then if you are still unable to make a payment using those vouchers, then I will gladly help you load them into your account 🙂 

 

Thanks,

The issue is on our end, I need to send a ticket to our tech team for this one as it's out of my control to fix it at this point. It shouldn't take too long for them to fix it, please periodically try rebooting your phone in 1 hour from now and I am confident that all should be working. 

 

Please keep us updated.

 

@mimmo, hehe thanks 😄

Hello @cyanide

 

Welcome to Public Mobile 🙂 Sorry to hear about your activation issue. 

 

After taking a look at your account, I see that the account was partially created as no payments were received. Don't worry! I was able to finalize everything for you and add a temporary text plan to your account in order for you to create a self-serve account and make a payment to change your plan. 

 

Can you please test your SIM card, you should be receiving service now, make sure to power cycle your phone if the SIM card is already inserted into your phone. 

 

Also, to manually create a self-serve account please follow this link.

 

Please let me know if anything else is needed.

 

Thank you,

 

Shazia
