Public Mobile Prepaid SIM Prepaid Phone - (Universal/SmartPhones), Packaging May Vary https://a.co/d/ftoJCpM

I canceled the order, I did order the remaining stock but canceled it since I found a better wholesale deal on eBay with over 100pcs. 

They are now back on Amazon for $4.99.

@softech , likely. @Priority mentioned he was going to purchase what was left so may have. Yes, there’s a couple 3rd part sellers selling them on Amazon!

I’m hoping that CS_Agent was able to get things fixed for @Ayman22 instead of needing to purchase another SIM Card.

@LitlLdy 

yup, they just up the price not long.  I was checking it earlier today, maybe 1pm , it was still $4.99.  I wonder if the batch sold by Public Mobile is all sold out and now Amazon is pushing the batch from a 3rd party seller, so it is $8 instead.  And yes, at least still Prime shipping eligible.

In case you need to buy yourself , but from Amazon, it's $4.99, cheaper and ship faster

@softech , the price is $8 now! 😞 I think someone bought the last one the ones on sale!

But Amazon has the quickest shipping 😃

it wasn't a chatbot, there was an option to speak to a live agent, and they told me to messaged the technical team through the community post forum, hence I am here. its a new sim out of the box. hope that makes sense! thanks should I ask for a reimburse? or can it be fixed as it has been never used before.

@Ayman22 

the chat was just a chatbot.  

But message using the link, a live agent will reply via Community inbox.  They can confirm if the card was ever used.  If not, and if still does not work for new activation, ask agent to reimburse you a new one.  Good Luck!

it was via chat system with the cs agent 

[Ayman22]

ill do that thanks! I messaged them through the link, appreciate your help! have a good day 

[Ayman22]

I did, from the back of the sim and the card itself which the sim came in with. it was directly from public they mailed the sim, it should be working I guess 

[softech]

HI @Ayman22 

how you reach out the CS agent?. was it via the chatbot or direct message?

if you have not done so, you might want to direct message CS agent, provide them the sim card number and have them to confirm why it got the error.  Message them here:

               https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on top right) after the ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply to you there

try typing in the numbers from the card packaging that came with the SIM card. 

If it was purchased from this site or from TELUS, Koodo, or Amazon, it should work.

[Ayman22]

hi its a completely new SIM card I just got, right out of the box. I entered the digits but its says invalid. reached out to cs and they said to make a community post. I got it through a friend who told me about public mobile and gave me the SIM card sealed new. 
thanks

@Ayman22 

is this a brand new  PM sim card that has never been used?

did you enter the proper 19 digits?

Where you got the PM sim card from?
