Sim Card Suddenly Stopped Working

euhenp

Hey All,

 

My sim card suddenly stopped working. I had the sim card and same phone for over 6 months.

 

Always on automatic payments, and always paid on time.

 

The phone says, Emergency Calls only.

 

Tried the sim card on a different phone. Same result, emergency calls only.

 

Tried resetting the phone, and network settings manually. Same result, emergency calls only.

 

Please help,

Eugene

You can login @euhenp , that's good, but you didn't mention if your account was Active or Suspended.

 

If Active status, check if your phone is blacklisted here: : https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

If not blacklisted, try:

  • turn off your phone, remove your sim card, gently replace the sim card, restart the phone
  • toggle into /out of airplane mode.

One last thing you might want to check. See if there is an Telus outage in your area. It happens once in awhile.

If your account is active and bill paid it could be your SIM failed. Try to clean contacts and try again.

@euhenp did you checkbif your My Account show Active?

 

did you try your phone and sim card in another area just incase it is a network issue?

 

if it is really a sim card problem, open ticket with PM.  They will troubleshoot with you to confirm.  You can try to ask them to reimburse the cost for a new sim card

Can you login to your account? Did you possibly deal with a credit card fraud somewhat recently?
