Sim transfer

[maxh]

My phone was stolen, but the payment went through.  I suspended service, then got a new phone and a new pin (to keep the same number), but the coverage doesn't seem to have transferred to the new sim card.  Anyone know how to deal with that?  Even though it was just paid, I will not have service until August 16th.

Self Serve doesn't tell a customer when they will not have service until. It informs customers when payment would be due again or when a plan has to be renewed by to keep the account open.

I am wondering if you went past when your plan would have renewed if you had  not reported your phone as lost.

@maxh  Where do you get the August 16th date from? Is your account currently suspended? If yes, then you need to make a one-time payment to cover your plan renewal and hit the re-activate button.

Yes, we put the new sim card number in and told it we found the phone.

Did you tell the self serve system to switch to the new sim card? You may also have to tell the system that you found your phone.
