possible simjack?

[hud9925]

I have been using public mobile for the past 2 years, I recently lost service and found out a different sim number than the one I have was linked to my account. I am unable to switch the sim number back to the one I own since its "already in use/invalid". I have set my account to "lost/stolen phone." Would this disable the user from using my plan? I have been using autopay, and its been paid for this month already. I have also ordered a new sim card. Would I need to create a new account and lose the loyalty/referral points I have accumulated? Please let me know what my next possible steps should be.

What you did was correct.  Suspend your account.  

You will not need to make a new account.  Just change your SIM card number in your self service account when you get your new SIM card.  Then report your phone found to re-activate.  When you contact moderator, sometimes they can restore your original SIM card number.  Not sure which would be faster.

@hud9925 , you will not lose any account rewards so long as you apply the new SIM card to the existing account.  Please secure your account as already instructed.

Change your password on your self service account and check and secure all your financials. Change passwords on all other accounts such as email, etc.

Contact moderators and they can restore your services to your account.
