Did you just activate? Do your text and data work on your Sim card? If your other services work try removing your Sim card. Place it in another device if possible to see if you get the same message. Try to call or text. Power off and remove. If you cannot test in another device keep the Sim card out of your phone for at least 10 minutes. Then reseat the Sim card and reboot the phone. Can you make a call? Do you see the same message?

@ron11  - try restarting your phone and see if that message goes away.

You may also try to perform a Reset of your device's Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, VPN and APN settings, and connected Bluetooth devices that you've used before.

Iphone:

To Reset Network Settings, begin by opening the Settings app. Next, tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. and enter your passcode.

Your iPhone will reset network settings and restart itself.

android:

Find and tap Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset network settings.

@ron11   try to reseat the sim card.  Power down the phone first, then take sim card out for a minute, then put it back and power up

 

if you have another phone, try to put the PM sim card there and see if it works

 

if nothing works, PM support can help to reprovision your card

I presume you went through the activation process, up to and including payment.

 

If so contact a support agent for assistance:

@ron11  You can first try sim in another device and see if it works and outback in your own phone … otherwise you need support help
