Try and answer each of @HALIMACS questions. 

and do you have any working services?

1. Calling? Incoming? Outgoing? Both?
2. Texting? In? Out? Both?
3. Data? Mobile? Wifi?
4. Phone brand and model?

Try the following:

- Reboot phone

- Take the SIM card out and put back in. Reboot

- Put in airplane mode for a few minutes. Take off. Reboot

Is the phone unlocked?

reboot is not working. my father's phone number is not in the service. Do you have service phone number to deal with it?

Try resetting the network settings on the phone.

Can you try the SIM card in your unlocked phone?

This happens sometimes....the sim card did not provision correctly upon activation. You will havevto contact the moderators to fix that. Follow the instructions in the previous post but put "faulty sim provision" and " human" and follow the prompts to submit a support ticket via simon.

In the meantime see if your account set up....the email is the username and enter the password.

Keep an eye on your private message box (the envelope icon) next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen for a little bubble to pop up indicating a message from the moderators. Responding promptly will speed up service times.

@chloezhang843 :Is your dad phone still not working? Can you be more specific about what you mean by paid 9 months? Did you prepay for 9 months or have you been paying for 9 months without phone working for entire 9 months? Also, what model phone your dad using? Have you tried putting your dad's new Public SIM into another unlocked phone to see if it work?
