Hello, I tried to activate my sim card and in the last step there was an error. I tried again now, but a message appears saying that the SIM CARD, which I just received, is invalid.

Please help me.

Couple of things you can do to see if it activated, one try using your phone. Look at your self serve account to see if it shows active. Check the method of payment you used and see if it was charged. If none of that worked, do what everyone else was saying, wait an hour or two, clear your cache and browsing history, even go.  into incognito. Then try again. If there is still an issue contact the moderators by putting a ticket in with Simon the bottom right corner:Screen Shot 2020-04-14 at 10.03.44 AM.png Or you can contact them through this link: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

Hi @israelcintra 

Try using your sim card

If it is not working they again in 50 mins, session locks sim card for about an hour.

@israelcintra  Try the sim in your phone, does it connect to Public's network? If you dial *611 is your account activated and can you make calls? If yes, try to access your selfserve account. If you can't then click here to register your selfserve account.

If your sim can't connect to the network then you need to try the sim activation again after the previous session lock clears (takes about an hour to clear).

 

Hope this helps!

@israelcintra if your credit card was charged, and the SIM works. Try logging into your self service account. If it doesn't exist, create one. https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/Overview/

Welcome to PM.  Stay safe.

@israelcintra Hello if you got past the payment phaseand then got your error try your Sim in your phone to see if it works

@israelcintra Try it in intigonto mode on Chrome. Clear your cache and cookies. There might be a problem with the activation system as there are a few other community members reporting problems during activation. Just keep trying after every hour. Did any payment go through ?

Wait an hour and try again after restart your browser.

This is because your SIM card number is still locked to your failed session.  Wait one hour for PM server to cancel your old session and release your SIM card number.
