I just activated my SIM card.

"Congratulations Vanessa!

Your SIM card is now active on Canada’s largest Mobile Network", so after I went and inserted my card on my unlocked phone and it still says No SIM.

 

How long does it take to start working?

I bought a SIM Card yesterday, did the activation online, but when I inserted the card on my phone it says "No SIM card" I tried everything, on another phone it doesn't work. Sent 2 tickets, no answer.

 

It sucks because I spent the money and I have no phone, when I needed yesterday that's why I bought yesterday and not next week. 

 

There is no live chat, and can't call to the *611 because again I have no phone (working).

 

I don't know what to do.

I couldn't have missed a required step during the activation procedure. If there was a step missed, you wouldn't have been able to complete the process to begin with.

While you are waiting for an answer from CSA, try a RESET of your phone's NETWORK SETTINGS.

Also, ensure your phone's software is up to date.

 

Take the end of an eraser tip and gently clean the contact points on the SIM card, then try reinserting your SIM.

 

 

Did you have a chance to check the 4-digits of your SIM to the 4-digits showing on your Self Serve account under the Change Sim Card option?

What if when activated you slightly typoed the #, but it was a valid # nonetheless...I dunno, could happen.

@VanessaLeitao 

I agree with you.

This is what happens when you missed an important step in your activation of the SIM.

Thank you for your help.

 

Will do 😉

@VanessaLeitao   Yes, I hear you.  Probably is an issue with SIM provisioning.  Since you already opened ticket and it is still early in the evening, there is a chance they can get this resolved tonight

 

Please monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right).  PM will be responding via messaging there.

 

Let us know how it turns out

Just sent a ticket. 

But super annoying, spent the money, need the phone now, and have to wait until someone fixes this.

 

Really bad first impression. 

@VanessaLeitao 

Seems that there maybe something wrong with the SIM. 

I would suggest you contact a PM CSAgent (customer service) by clicking on the SImon chat button by typing in create a ticket so an CSAgent can help you with your SIM issue.

 @VanessaLeitao : It's only 4 digits unfortunately but can you check the last 4 digits of the registered SIM in the Change SIM function to the actual card in the phone.
