HOW SOON THEY NORMALLY REPLY?


This depends on how busy they are.  It could only take a few minutes but they ask customers to wait up to 2 days.  They will reply as soon as they can.

It depends on their workload.  Response time can a within a couple of hours, but could be a couple of days.

JUST ACTIVATED A NEW LINE. PICKED A RANDOM NUMBER FROM THE POOL. ACTIVATION WENT WELL. AFTER I PUT THE SIM IN. IT SHOWS NO SERVICE. I CALLED THE NEW NUMBER. SOME STRANGER PICKED UP. I CANT CHANGE MY NUBMER IN SELF SERVE. IT SHOWS ERROR.


Normally, you have the option to change your number once every 30 days.  If for whatever reason you cannot exercise the option to change the number, then you will need to contact the moderator team for a solution.

@PATBRIEN  Only the moderators can change the number so you need to contact them and be patient. They will receive your message and respond and fix your problem.

I have merged your messages from an a message thread that was about a topic unrelated to your issue and your other thread into one so that you can more easily find the answers that you need.  If the change phone number feature is not working, you will need to contact Moderator_Team.  Instructions were provided earlier on how to do that by @geopublic.

Not all the numbers are available for selection. Are you porting your existing number or trying to get a new number?
