sim is not activating

[Azharmuhammad]

Hi there,

I was trying to activate my sim but its not going through. I saw this message :

Oops! Looks like something went wrong when activating your account.

Please start a conversation with our virtual assistant to create a troubleshooting ticket, and the next available Public Mobile Moderator can assist you in your activation via private messaging.

Note that you will need to create a Public Mobile Community Account to submit a ticket

Error Code: 831,820

I was using telus services for my cell. I want my public sim to be activated with my previous cell phone number : xxxxxxxxxxxxx.  I chosen $25 plan and also put my credit card info but seems like your application crashed.

Please help me out in this issue asap.

Thanks,

Azhar

@Anonymous 

This is where you have to disseminate from the info provided by the OP....the link is for the article of what to do after activating your sim card. The OP's sim card has not been activated properly so the OP is not at "after" they are still at " in the middle of" or "stuck" might be a better term.

The help articles provide general answers and procedures but they don't provide individualized trouble shooting measures for unique problems or the work arounds or pm's infamous glitches. This is where we come in....this post by @Luddite will help you its helped me.

I wouldn't take it personally, @Anonymous .    It might help if you proofread your responses before submitting.   They are sometimes difficult to follow and ideas don't always flow clearly from one paragraph to another.

Some users on this site are a bit harsh/abrupt in the delivery of their 'helpful advice'.    Sometimes I think they forget that they, too, were once new and spewed a whole lot of unhelpful stuff too...

Try to focus on the helpful advice and less on the criticisms some other users may give.

You'll get there...

@Spudster

The OP should not contact the telus porting department atm because they must get their account properly set up and sim provisioned correctly. Then the telus number can be ported in....which the moderators can do for him since they will already be providing support. 

[darlicious]

@Azharmuhammad 

You can contact the moderators by clicking on the chat bubble at the bottom right corner of your screen. Type sim card did not activate and human and follow the prompts to submit your ticket.  

or  

Send a private message...   Contact the moderators by sending a private message and leave a detailed message explaining your issue and the info to verify your account by including the following information:  

1. Full name and address on pm account. ( Or province and postal code for newer accounts.)
2. Email, phone # and pin #.  
3. Telus account #.
4. Full name on the telus acct.

If  you cannot remember your pin # include at least three ( if they apply)of the following:

1.  Date of birth (n/a on newer accounts.)
2. Last payment, date, amount, type and last 4 digits.
3. Alternate phone number if any.
4. Security question and answer.
5. Plan amount, any add ons or promos on account.
6. Last 4 digits of sim card.
7. Any rewards in your account.
8. Autopay y/n?
9. Account #.
10. Frequently called/texted phone numbers in the last 30 days.  

Keep your telus sim card in your phone until you recieve the porting authorization text and reply YES within 90 minutes of recieving it. You can then remove the telus sim and insert the pm sim card. Make sure your phone is powered off when you do this.  The porting should omly take a few minutes but up to 2 hours. Once you can recieve incoming calling your telus service is cancelled and your port is complete.

The average wait time is 2 to 4 hours but be prepared to wait up to 48 hours for non urgent requests. Current wait times are about one hour and are probably even less as I have had some very quick responses in tne past week.

Keep an eye on your private message box the envelope icon next to your avatar for a little number to pop indicating a message from the moderators. Responding promptly will speed up service times.

 Do not post any of this info in the community only in your private messages when communicating or contacting the Moderator_Team.

@Azharmuhammad 

Just a couple of reminders so you understand how things work with porting.

In order to successfully port your number from another Wireless Service Provider, you need to KEEP the old SIM in your device to respond to the port authorization request from TELUS so you can 'move' your number to Public Mobile.

Once you respond to that text, THEN place your activated Public Mobile SIM card back in your device and reboot the device, and you then should be good to go.

If the port failed, try these options:

To re-initiate the port, click here: https://urlshortner.tiia.ai/Lc9xk8

-OR-

I will private message you the toll-free phone number to help with porting.

Hopefully, if your device can't make outgoing calls, you may be able to use someone else's phone to call this number to assist with what may be a failed port.

To check your private messages, look at the envelope icon between your avatar and the bell icon on the upper right.

how to open the ticket with mod

[softech]

@Azharmuhammad  have you open a ticket with mod yet?

APN settings are not needed for phone calls or text messaging and aren't related to network registration. 

While current iPhone models do need correct APN settings to be able to use mobile data for Aple device activation without needong to connect the phone to computer, these settings are usually automatically set. Also, iTunes could be used instead for iPhone device activation. As for Android devices, making APN setting changes cannot help with this situation.

@Anonymous 

No offense but the first half of your post will not help the OP but just waste their time....they must contact the moderators to finsh setting up the account and provision the sim card. I think that when you are getting comments by other members ( some much less polite than others) is that they only want you to consider whether the info you post is helpful or unnecessary. If its the latter then it can either complicate matters or further frustrate the situation. So a catch all copy and post can be annoying.....just reconsider your reply before you hit post and edit out what is not needed....we are all still learning so we only ask that you try to learn what you should include in your reply and what shouldn't.

@Azharmuhammad 

If you got charged, try rebooting your phone with the PM SIM card.  Or you also can try network reset on phone.

It might take up to 1-2 hours for porting to be completed, but you should be able to dial and text out.  Is your Telus SIM card working?

[darlicious]

@Azharmuhammad 

Now you have to contact the moderators because your sim card did not provision correctly during activation. Contact them as previously provided. Keep an eye on your private message box the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen for a little number to pop up indicating a message from the moderators.Responding promptly will speed up response times. Lately response times have been within an hour or so.....

@Azharmuhammad   Check your credit card.  It is very possible that the account was in fact activated on the backend and just that the front end was having error returning the result

Also, try to put your SIM into the phone, power it up and see if it connected to PM.  Also try to see if you can make outgoing calls.  

Let us know if you can make outgoing calls, if so, you can then focus on checking if porting completed.

[Azharmuhammad]

I would suggest following the steps provided to you in the error message to contact the moderators. I would also check if your credit card was charged. If your credit card was not charged, you can try to activation procedure again.
