Cannot send/receive calls/texts.

[C-Red]

Just returned from vacation in US.  Purchased roaming add-ons while I was away.  They expired on November 28th so I didn't extend them. Now that I am back in Canada I cannot make or receive calls or texts. I have no signal bars showing on my phone. So I added $40 thinking maybe that would solve it... but it did not. I asked Simon and checked if my account was still active... and it is.  I have restarted my phone multiple times and also toggled the airplane mode... nothing has worked. So what next?

@C-Red  just adding money does not reactivate your account, that is, if it is suspended?!

But, you confirmed it is ACTIVE through Simon, uh, I never did that before.

What does is say when you call 611?

If you have never created a Self Serve account, create one here: https://selfserve.publicmobile.ca/self-registration/

It is a great way to check on your account status and manage other details.

Can you try your SIM into another phone to see if you have working services?

If so, put the SIM back into your phone and perform a Reset of your device's Network Settings.

iphone:

To Reset Network Settings, begin by opening the Settings app. Next, tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings. and enter your passcode.

Your iPhone will reset network settings and restart itself.

android:

Find and tap Settings > System > Advanced > Reset options > Reset network settings.

This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
