SIM activation

[DDolce]

I have tried and tried again and I have no idea why this isn't working. Its very frustrating, especially trying to get any help. 

I tried to activate my SIM. It keeps telling me the card is already in service or something and to close all windows and try again. Very annoying because I've done that as well as tried on a different device, AND I've erased all my history as well to clear anything BUT my card refuses to activate. At all. I NEED someone to please fix this situation. I just got this SIM in the mail today and I'm ready to get it working for my phone and it WONT let me. So please do something. Or refund me. Please help.

Posting your sim card number here isn't going to get anything fixed.  For account related issues, no one here can help you.  All customer service is done by contacting Moderator_Team through private messaging.  The message that you posted is visible to anyone.

Yes it is a promo to keep us with them

[Anonymous]

Really?  $20 talk/text at the big R?  Must be some promo rate you have.

[jrsulja2]

it might just be a sign for me to stay with Rogers, $20 a month will give me unlimited Canada wide calling & text.

@jrsulja2, If you haven't heard from mods at this point, it won't be until tomorrow morning (after 9am EST).  Give it a couple of hours, clear your cache, restart your browser, and then use privacy/incognito mode.

Whatever is locking your SIM is likely not on your end.  It should clear itself eventually.  You might be able to resolve this yourself before the morning.  Please let us know what happens.

[jrsulja2]

tried this....didn't work for me.....

[jrsulja2]

Same here!  I've tried countless things, including using a different computer and still I get the error: The SIM number you’ve entered is currently reserved by another session. Please close all open browsers and try again.

I had pm'd a moderator and hopefully I'll get an answer soon as my phone service with another provider is up at midnight tonight!!!!

I too am having this issue while trying to activate a new account.

I entered the sim, chose a phone number, went to the payment page, but had to change something, so clicked Previous. 

After that it timed out and then this error keeps coming up.

"The SIM number you’ve entered is currently reserved by another session. Please close all open browsers and try again."

I also have tried everything like clearing browsers, using incognito, but nothing seems to work.

It happened to me one time in the past where if at anytime during the activation process AFTER entering the sim #, it took too long and timed out, or if my browser froze and crashed, and I had to re-start the activation process, It would result in getting an error message that the sim was already linked to another account or unable to be used.
