Hello guys, I was trying to activate my sim card and port my number from another provider. The payment went through my credit card but I got a message says that account not activated, pkease contact public mobile. That was around 5 pm today and so far the sim is not active and whenever I try to activate it says (invalid sim)

Any advice?

Since your credit card has already been charged, there is not much that you can do at this point.  You will need the moderator team to fix any account/porting problems.

@Shadyelleithy That means that there is a problem with your port. Best to contact them immediately and include all the porting info like account number, name on account and phone number.

Telus ports should be very quick.  Something went wrong.  You will need to contact moderator as described above.  Expect 1-2 day wait times.  You can continue to use your Telus SIM card while you wait.  Do not attempt to activate again since you already paid.  

Make sure you use a different email address for each account. You can use the same credit card...but not the same email address.

The old provider is Telus. I did the same for my wife yesterday and took exactly 10 minutes.

Who is the old provider ? Sometimes it could take a few hours to complete a port. Keep using old sim until it quits...thn your PM number should be active.

If not by tonight then send a message to moderators for their help...

It could take up to 48 hours for a response, so please be patient. ..Click this to message moderator
