@mksens00 Probably a little bit of both....what worked? Did it activate the first time or did you have to do it over again? Remember to clear your browser and use secret mode whenever you make account changes like adding funds or changing plans.

@mksens00 The pm activation portal is finicky...follow @cellphoneuser1 advice and check your credit card for charges, SIM card in phone, self serve account creation....report back while you are waiting out the hour....if none of these have happened then you must try again.
This time make sure you clear your browser, use incognito/secret mode in chrome or Firefox as they work best. If the site accepts your SIM after an hour redo your activation. Make sure your credit card details match your billing statement address exactly except leave the apt/unit box blank and do not put a space in the postal code. Use ALL CAPS if necessary.
Referral code goes in the box halfway down the first page...choose at least the $25 plan you can change to the $15 on your next month and get the extra credit....good luck!

If you click back, you had to wait 50 minutes for another try. What did the warning say? Look if credit card was charged and that sim card is in service. Look if self serve account was made too.
