   Do you use the phone number and email for you pm account for any financial institutions, credit cards or accounts like PayPal? You might want to check that none of them have been compromised.

Where is the ?mark at the bottom of my screen. Did not see any.

Have you logged into your self serve account? If not, please do so? What does the status of your account say?

 

If the account says active. What kind of phone do you have? Have you tried to reboot it? Does anything work text, data?

 

What's the area code you're trying to call?. Is it just one number or all numbers?

 

What plan are you on?

 

Please provide further details so we can try to assist you. Thanks!

Given the possibility of fraud, it’s a good time to remind everyone to use unique passwords for all their accounts. Too frequently databases /websites are being hacked and the information received, many times emails and passwords, spread across the web. Hackers then use this info to test whether they work on other sites. Not saying that’s what happened, just saying it does. Stay safe

Had my phone with PM since April 2919.

@Starry77   Either use the link above or click on the ? mark bottom right of your screen and submit a ticket to moderators who are PM employees.  We are fellow customers and cannot access your account, but can make suggestions for some minor issues.

Type in your issue and select contact us/moderators, then submit ticket when these options appear and follow the prompts to finish.

@Starry77   Did you just activate a new account and port over your number or take a new PM number?  Are you able to receive incoming calls/texts?   Porting can take upto 3 hours to complete, you can use your old SIM until it stops working.

 

Maybe try rebooting your phone a few times over the next little while.  You can also try powering off your phone, remove SIM, wait 5 mins, reinsert SIM and restart the phone.

 

Also double check the numbers you are calling and try adding +1 in front of all your numbers.

@Starry77  also try logging into your self service account and see if there is indeed a number change under the plan page. Failed port? Stay safe.

@Starry77  Dial 611 if it reports your balance ignore that message.
