Hello - First let me get my frustration out of the way and say this process of communicating with PM via messaging and email is totally nerve wrecking!
I sent two direct messages on Friday to Mods with no response to date (I understand they may be overloaded with messages but that statement alone is indicative of how poor their customer service response is).
I've sent an email to customer service and it's like they never read the details to my problem and gave me a generic answer - now what? what another 48 hours for a response? geeze
OK - sorry for the ranting - I just need to get it out of my system. I'll reiterate my problem and hopefully someone can help me in a timely fashion.
Problem
I activated a SIM on Friday morning in order to take advantage of the promo offered to FM customers. At the end of the process I received an error message that said "Oops ... It seems that something went wrong .. Please href=" https://publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help" Target="_blank">email us to get your account operational. We apologize for any inconvenience."
I then received an email that says -
"Hello Giuseppe,

Great - I have an account but when I try to login with my login info used at registration - my email is not recognized.
I have an account number assigned to me.
I sent an email to PM and they point me to a link to register my account - but when I enter the phone number I used to port over - the system says it doesn't recognize the number. The port process must have not worked as my Freedom line is still active. So I don't understand how my PM is active if I have no access to it?
So, I tried to go through the activation process again but it says my SIM is already activated.
Please for the love of GOD - what do I do the resolve this issue?

When you activated your SIM , either self serve online , or in a retail store, you would have provided an email address. Go to the Public Mobile web page and if you have not registered for an online account , do so by clicking on " create an account:. Use the email address you provided either at selserve set up or when you set up in store.
Follow the on line prompts and register.
If you have already registered for an online account and forget your password , then go to the Public Websfte and use your email address which you use and then click on : forgot password. This will bring you to a page to enter your active enail and Public Mobile will send you an email with a link to reset your password.
Cheers

When you enter your credit card , the address you have on file for Public Mobile account has to be the same as the billing adress of the credit card. Check to make sure these 2 addresses are the same.
Next if this does not work, then reach out to the modorators in private message and let them know of your situation. Once they reply privately , give them your credit card info and they will be able to add that card to your account.
Cheers

@Joey_1975, there's no need to lose self control. It might take a bit of waiting to receive service, but one you do, the response is accurate and solution happens in first contact. It's a lot better than being in the phone for 2 hours.
I mentioned this on a separate thread, but it's worth mentioning again. Where activation involves porting, a failed port will also fail account setup. So, after the port is resubmitted, there's a need to create the account again. Much of what was entered during activation seems to be there. Be careful to enable auto pay for the credit.

Thanks for the prompt response - I read the message - perfect. But how do I access the account online now? It doesn't recognize my login credentials used on sign up.

Thank-you - I actually just sent her a DM begging for help (shortly after I posted this message). After sending two other direct messages to Mods with no response I'm hoping she can help. It's so frustrating but I get the process - thanks for your help.
