PM server does not handle going back a page very well.  Every time your go back a page, you need to close your browser and restart again to ensure a new session state to do the activation again.

 

If you get a invalid SIM error, wait an hour before activating your plan again.

@Soulr3ap3r123  check to see if your credit card was charged.  If it was insert the sim into your phone and try to log into your self service account.  If it wasn't, wait 1 hour from last attempt, clear your browser history,  go to private/ incognito mode and try again to activate your sim card. Welcome to PM.  Stay safe.

Did you go through the payment process?

 

If yes we're you charged? If you were charged put sim in and see if anything works. Then manually register your account at link below.

If you were not charged. System locks sim for 50 minutes as a security precaution. Wait one hour, clear internet cookie / history cache. Open a new browser in incongnito mode and try to activate again.

 

Don't forget to use a referral code for a $10 signup bonus.
