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.

@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.

@Mrbubblehead72 hi did you click on the lost/stolen reactivate? try clearing your cache change browser try incognito mode go back into your account and try again if that doesn't help contact a customer service agent through simon mention help change sim Click here

@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
