Ugh frustrating so I activated my daughters SIM card & used my email address for her account I chose a plan added the voucher the plan didn’t go through the pin I added in isn’t working I’ve added two $25 voucher cards & won’t let me log in to see her account & won’t work through the phone when I dial *611 to add a plan

So she has $50 on her SIM card but it seems useless cause I can’t sign in on the account let alone add a plan cause the pin isn’t working ugh

Public mobile out the company we are with & the **bleep**ty part is can’t even call to figure this out 

 

also I have actually used my email address to activate my own account then changed my SIM card after awhile so list my account some how it wouldn’t let me sign in again so I figured it’d be ok for my daughter to use it to activate her SIM card

I've been there and the short answer is you may not use the same email on more then one account. I suggest that you create separate email aliases to use on each account and thus you would still get details on each account in your favourite email inbox.

Ate you using Gmail?

If yes you can ask mods to change your daughters login from your user@gmail to user+daughter@gmail. Both will receive all emails in the original mailbox for user@gmail

That link helped me with my daughters account as well as my own thanks so very much 

@Chelsea12  If both accounts have the same email address. To fix this issue so both accounts have a different email address. Only the moderators that work for public mobile can do this.

 

You need to contact them at link below.

 

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

 

Provide all the details you can, phone number, email address, etc. In your private message to them. 

 

They are the only ones that can fix this. You will not be able to do it on your own.  They will get you guys all set up.

 

Standard response time is 24/48 hours but usually much quicker. Keep an eye out on your inbox. The envelope top rightish on these forums. That's where they will respond back to you.

How do I create a new account for her with her current number she has right now? Like a new email address? 

Chelsea12
Good Citizen / Bon Citoyen

Ok thanks 

@Chelsea12 

 

There's many things not adding up of what you first posted to what you are saying now.

 

First publicmobile.ca is currently down.

 

You can still get in the self serve account via this link

 

https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/

 

Secondly. You said you tried to activate a sim card and were not able to add a plan.

The system would not have let you activate a sim card and add money to a new activation without a plan being selected.

 

You then said the SIM card has $50 on it. Then another reply was "thankfully there is $25 on it already".

 

So please answer these questions 

 

1 - From what I gather in your writing you have two accounts yours and your activated an account for your daughter. 

 

Is this correct? 

 

2- You said you used your email address for your daughter's account. The system does not let you have two accounts with the same email address.

 

Are you saying both accounts have the same email address?

 

3- What is your plan and is your phone working as it should? 

 

4- Can you log into your account via this link?.  https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/

 

5- What plan did you try to activate for your daughter?

 

6 - When you use your daughter's phone does anything work? It seems like something does as you mentioned 611.

 

7 - Can your text/call from your daughter's phone to your phone or vice versa? Does that work?

 

8 - If both accounts were created with the same email address you cannot fix this yourself. You wrote "hopefully I can get this fixed when I can log into the account". You will not be able to resolve this yourself and only moderators who work for Public Mobile and have access to your accounts can resolve this situation. You need to contact them at link below.

 

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

 

9 - We need a clear understanding of what exactly is going on to assist you. So if you can answer the questions I asked it will be helpful for us to determine your issue.

 

From the sound of things currently. You tried to create two accounts with the same email address. Now you're having issues with everything because of that. 

 

Let us know. Thanks!

@Chelsea12 The problem is because the same e-mail address was used as your account. All the service is working but not the online account? Moderators have to fix this.

@Chelsea12  sorry for all the trouble you are going through.

 

Take note all support is online at Public Mobile there is no call support. This is mentioned on their website before you even join.

 

Also each account needs its own email address and sim card. You can't have two accounts under the same email address.

 

I am not sure when you tried activating but for the last few hours it appears that their website is down. Maybe unplanned maintenance. It may have affected your signup process.

 

You are going to have to reach out to the moderators (they work at public mobile)

 

There are two ways to reach them and I would suggest you use option 2. As you are already having difficulties I would hate to see you get more frustrated trying to open a ticket through the chat bot. There is a way to open tickets through the chat bot if you can't access your account , etc but it's best you just do number 2.

 

1-

2- Use this one. Click link below to send a private message to the moderators.

Take note the standard response time is 24/48 hours but they're usually much quicker. They will write back to your inbox. The envelope top rightish on these forums.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing and I hope they resolve your issues quickly.

Is your email already used for your own account? This may be a conflict when using your email to setup your daughters account.
