I've been using PM since September, and I really like it, so I've recommended it to family members.
My sister transfered her phone from Virgin and had some troubles activating her account but was able to get help within a day or two by email.
But then my grandma, who is pretty tech savvy, also switched over from Virgin, but everything went wrong. The site booted her out of the activation because it had started some updates that evening, so we tried the next day, and the site then rejected her credit card. Then we tried again, but the site said her sim card was invalid (probably because it had just been activated, but without successful payment) so she was kind of caught in limbo. We tried contacting PM for help (because we were able to login with her submitted account info) but it has been weeks and there is no response. Meanwhile, her phone works, but only about 30% because many people don't receive her texts, and when anyone calls her number it won't go through.
She is very upset, and I don't feel that I can recommend PM to anybody else...
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm not sure if PM can do anything to keep her business, as she is trying to cancel the charges with her credit card company (apparently the charges went through after all?)
I know PM is mainly self-serve, and I explained that to her before we tried switching, but I didn't expect so much trouble, much less a complete lack of support...
