Challenge - Activating Your SIM Card failed - Can't submit ticket either

[BladedThoth]

Migrating in from Telus, I've successfully moved (ported) two lines. Upon porting the third, I got this error during activation:

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

Error Code: 821

Says to submit a ticket.

Create a community account, then try to sign in on the Ticket page, and it says "Error logging in". I've tried incognito, another computer, nothing.

Checked credit card, the credit card was charged the full amount. Did receive the welcome text, but not the port in text message either. Tried to sign into the account that was created, and tried a Forgot Password on the account, to no avail.

Really stuck on what to do next besides wait for Chat to open.

I hear they recently increased the attachments limit. You may even be able to keep the rest of yourself around 😏

@BladedThoth 

Ok, you were charged, Do you have any services on the new SIM?

Try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a few minutes, then reboot

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

You said you activated more than one account - did you use a different email for each activation? Each SIM account needs a different email. This could be connected to not being able to log in, if same emails were used.

I will Private Message you the Telus Porting Number, since you did not receive the text to approve the port, there could be an issue there. CHECK your INBOX.

Alternatively, rather than using SIMbot, send a message directly to CSA by using this link:

Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

@BladedThoth I was talking to someone, but I'm assuming they're off now. Hope for a resolution tomorrow. 

You have received the welcome text, you might be able to make calls but probably can not receive calls... right.

When any of the CS agents comes online the ticket will be picked up and work towards the solution will continue. But being Friday night, it is probably be done tomorrow morning. 

Keep us posted.

Hoping for a prompt resolution, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you @BladedThoth !

@BladedThoth 

Also remember to use a different email address for each of your lines.

[softech]

@BladedThoth   then yes, it was activated  and assistance from PM support is the way to go. 

They can fix this easily once they got your ticket and confirm your identity.  Keep checking on the envelop icon on the top right, PM support will communicate with you via messaging you there.

if you still not hear anything by tomorrow , I suggest you to open another ticket to give a push.

Let us know how it goes.

[BladedThoth]

@0PX9O4  I have done this. Thank you. 🙂

@softech Thank you. As indicated in my post, I had done these steps already, credit card was charged and it sort of seems like it was activated, but can't log into the self-serve account and didn't get the port confirmation text to the old SIM/phone.

[0PX9O4 · Accepted solution]

@BladedThoth 

I would recommend you send a private message to @CS_Agent with the details to this problem. They will be able to fix it for you, likely within 1 day.

[softech]

@BladedThoth   First, DO NOT try activating again for at least an hour.

Sometimes, this error is just a web site error but the backend already activated your account  

Wait the hour first, try put the SIM in and check if it is connecting to PM network.  If not connecting, Then confirm on your Credit card account if PM charged you money yet.    

if you confirmed that the SIM is not connecting and PM has not charged your credit card then, then you can try activate again  but do one of these

1. try on a different browser Chrome/Edge/Firefox. 

2  try on Incognito Mode/InPrivate Mode

3. try clear cache first , reboot browser

4. try on another computer

a reminder, make sure you are aware of the current Black Friday deal:

[Update] Black Friday deals are here! Don’t miss o... - Community (publicmobile.ca)

Sorry, missed the line about OP already checked credit card was charged
