@kparti    Just to clarify, your account wasn't suspended for more than 90 days without payment during that interval?  I know you said you made a payment, but was it suspended before that?  Because 90 days of suspension without payment means account/number is deactivated.

 

Or, have customer support been able to help you if it was connected to a possible SIMjack?

@kparti 

Are you new to Public Mobile (did you just activate a SIM card)?

OR, have you been a customer with working services before this 'unregistered' issue started happening?

 

 

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

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

 

Were you able to try your SIM into another working phone (as @Anonymous already suggested), I am curious if this works. 

 

@kparti 

Also can you call your number from another phone?

@kparti 

Try calling 611 from your phone. Alternatively call 1 855 4PUBLIC and enter your 10 digit phone number. Send a private message to customer support with "fraudulent port?" in the subject line and include the following info...... then start checking your financial accounts while you await the CSA response.

 

Spoiler

Send a private message...   Contact the CSA's (formerly 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 #.

 

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.  

 

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 CSA's (formerly 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.

I have a suspicious feeling that your account could have been taken over by someone else.  But then to swap out the SIM cards is not straightforward.  You need to get in touch with a CSA to find out exactly what has transpired.

 @kparti : Yes it sounds serious. So we're trying to nail down where it's serious. Did you try the SIM in another phone?

kparti
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

I did initially take out my SIM card and try rebooting my phone.

The phone says the Sim is not registered.

My login has also been disabled from Public Mobile website.

This means it is likely an account issue not my phone.

If you are just going to spam suggestions that do not address the issue then please stop.
