Hello . I would like to ask about the issue of my Public Mobile sim . No service until now after activation last January 8. The payment is already successful. I sent a ticket and sent private message to all the online moderators users here but nothing happened. I tried all the reset process, restart process, even lost and found trick. And I found out that I activated it on my incompatible phone. So I decided to buy a new sim and change sim card on my same account through other cellphone that is compatible. But still both of my sim doesn't work to any phone. But when I tried my friend's public mobile sim and other brand , it works on my incompatible phone. So the problem is in the new sim that connected to my account. I don't know what to do now so I want to talk to a costumer service to fix it. Please help me .Thanks.

@Jezzcanada dialing that just give you your IMEI #. Which you would need to unlock your phone if it was locked from the previous provider.

Is it locked to the previous provider? IF so, contact them to unlock it.

Have you checked your SELF SERVE account status?

Hi @Jezzcanada ,

What does your status say when you log into your SELF SERVE account?

When you changed the SIM cards in your account, the 1st SIM card becomes inactive and you can't use again. You will need to fix your account to get the 2nd SIM card working.

If your friend's PM SIM card works in your "incompatible" phone, that means your phone should work with Public mobile. The problem is with your Public mobile service. Unfortunately, you will need to wait for moderator (PM employee) response. It is much longer than usual. About 1-2 days wait for response. Check your private messages for response (envelope icon on upper right corner).

I'm sorry I mean I wasted two sim to my account. The first one is already dead. The second one is still not working. My account is okay but the sim is not. The moderators just ignore me.

Hi @Jezzcanada ,

You can only have 1 SIM connected to one account at a time.

IF you changed your SIM number on your SELF SERVE account then the 1st one cannot be used any longer. Unless it can be reinstated by the moderators, you can ask them about this, since you have not had any services yet.

My two public mobile sims that connected to my account does work to any phone. No service since I activated it. My friend also use public mobile sim so I tried it to my phone, her public mobile sim (her account) works on my phone. My account is successful (active).

@Jezzcanada You already activated that first sim card using a phone that was incompatible with Public Mobile. so that sim card is already dead. Get a Public Mobile compatible phone before you activate the new sim card.

I'm done. I'm just new here in Canada. And this is my first sim that I tried because it works on my friends. I know it hard to cancel and make a refund so I just to fix it but I don't know how. Most of the moderators didn't response.
