Stolen sim/ reactivating account

Mrbubblehead72

I was traveling in Europe and was using a European sim card. My wallet containing my public mobile sim was lifted on the metro.

 

I reported it as lost/stolen. When I arrived to Canada I purchased a new sim car. Logged into my account and used the change sim function. However my account still says that my account is closed/stolen. I have tried to reactivate service through the lost/stolen phone link but it just churns.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks everyone. 

 

So yes the not restarting my services appeared to be a browser issue. Switched browsers and that worked to get my call and text working.

 

After far too long I realized I had my mobile Data turned off to avoid roaming charges when I returned to Canada. I'm blaming jet lag for missing that one. 

 

 

Thanks for the help. And for anyone that finds this issue definitely try a second browser and also make sure your data is on.

Well you are halfway there then. The troubleshooting above should get you all the way there. If still an issue reply back in the thread

@Mrbubblehead72  Go back to the Change SIM function and compare the digits showing in your account to those on your new SIM. If different do the change again; if the same contact the CSAs as the change was not completed. 

Hi @Mrbubblehead72 But call works?

 

If voice works, the rest should come soon.  try reboot or re-seat the sim

 

Data, Check My Account to see if you have data still

 

 

@Mrbubblehead72 

Try rebooting your phone and also check if your cellular network is set on PM.

@Mrbubblehead72  Yes, you should have go to the Plan and Add-ons page, Lost/Stolen Phone and click Resume/Reactivate service.

 

If that is completed, you can go back to Change SIM Card

 

If that does not work, try to use a different browser or Incognito mode.  Sometimes it's only a browser issue
