Same thing happened to me yesterday. I contacted them and they sent me a new Password which didn't work than i had to wait another twelve hours for them to reply and send me a reset password link which also didn't work. I have now been waiting another six hours for them to reply. I have no service and have asked them to activate my account until they fix their site but still no response. Ridiculous

Some say it's risky. Others say it's fine if done well.

Did you get another SIM? If the trimming doesn't work then when you regain access to your account then it's just a simple matter of running the Change SIM function in the self-serve.

 

Edit: what make/model phone did you get? Is it unlocked? Is it used and possibly on the blacklist?

New phone and SIM to be entered:

1) phone is damaged and need to replace

You weren't able to salvage the SIM out of the old phone?

You might have the 3-in-1 punch out SIM. You can click out the nano from the micro.

@krsYou can easily trim your micro SIM into a nano SIM (detailed instructions here).. then you can skip the need of having to activate your SIM card via selfserve.. hence you can get back on your feet sooner.

OK, being a former CSR, I understand your answer. OK, no more complaining. Let's try to get me a solution to gaining access to my account

 When I try to use the "forgot password" link, I get a message to contact Armin

 That  the password reset is blocked, old password is no longer valid. Can we solve this???


@krs You need to contact the PM moferator team. The sooner the better.

While the shortcut to know the status of your account is a valid one...did you lose your SIM? Phone? Both? How long ago?

If it has been more than 90 days then your account is dead.

 

Edit: after your recent post...unfortunately the 611 service can't help you with that. So you'll need to wait to regain access to your account.

The account is valid

@krsMake sure your account is still valid by dialing *611 first. If it is you will need to contact the Moderators via this link. No point contacting the Moderators if your account is not valid.

No. Only the moderators can unblock your log in.

Again...what are you trying to do that you need into your self-serve?

What's your history here? What's your story?

@krsThis is unfortunately not Telus... it is a bare bone sub brand of Telus. Telus these days would be business class.. this is cattle class. Oh in case you are confused, we are all just general users here and not Public Mobile employees.. the employees are off the clock now.

 

Can you access your voice menu? If so you can still pay your bills / activate your account.. if not, it might means your account is no longer valid.

Well...this is a cheap sub-brand of Telus.

 

But what are you trying to do that you need into your self-serve?

You might need to wait about an hour to let the block clear.

If that still doesn't work then you'll need to contact the @Moderator_Team < Click this.

Is there something you need to do? Because it could take a day or two to hear back from them.
