Verifying my identity

[Belfast]

Hi,

I've just completed setting up my account and the next step is to verify my identify by entering a code.  The code has not been sent to my number and I don't seem to have an option to have it sent by email.  Can someone help, please?

Can a new customer use the chatbot if they do not have an account PIN # yet? It was out of order for so long I can't remember all of the options for verification. Is there an option to open a ticket in the app without signing in ?

Thanks.

Somebody doesn't even have to be a customers to be able to open a ticket. The chatbot can be used even if the app doesn't allow the ticket.

Do you have any working services on your pm Sim card? If you have none and your koodo Sim card no longer works then your pm Sim card did not provision correctly upon activation. Only customer support can fix this. Send them a private message with "Urgent-Sim card not provisioned upon activation" in the subject line.

The identity verification code when initially logging into your account for the first time is only sent via SMS text. You will need to get Sim card provisioned to your account by an agent first before you can log into your account.

Customers need to be using the chatbot or app to be opening all tickets.

Thanks for replying.  I have not received this option.  I tried entering random numbers to try to trigger this option but it didn't work.

HI @Belfast 

but did you submit ticket yet?  It has been a long enough issue and seems like you have to put in ticket to get it fixed

[Belfast]

Unfortunatley, I can't send messages or receive calls either.  I confirmed with Koodoo that I want to transfer my number and now it looks like I'm without service.

Hello @Belfast 

Public Mobile is dealing with issues when it comes to SMS on Android and iMessages and FaceTime and such. Yet they still allow people to sign up for their service. There is no ETA of when it will be resolved. Here is their announcement.

Hey Community,

In the meantime, please try troubleshoot steps:

hi @Belfast 

is your service working? you can make calls and receive calls?

are you requesting to port in the phone number?  Your porting is not done and the could would have send to your old carrier's sim card.  See if you receive the code there

You should be able to see email option.

If you did not receive or cannot receive your 2FA code by SMS - Click on: ‘Didn’t get a code’ and you will get more options. Chose email.

But I might be wrong. This might Not be available during signing up with PM?
