Just activated sim card, "No service" no data,no talk no text.

Hi, i just received my sim card that i ordered a few days ago to sign up for the 3 months for 120$ promo. I went through the activation process and everything seemed fined. I also set up the apn properly but still no luck. When the sim card is inserted into my phone i just see "No Service" and cannot receive or send calls, use text or data.

 

Also, when I go to my account on the self serve website, it always crashes and tells me theres an error when i try to port my existing number or to view my plan. Could anyone help? Thank you

 

Heard @Shazia_K could help 🙂

We all know right now is a crappy waiting game until all the chaos gets sorted, you can dwell on it and let it fester, or be happy you're going to get a good deal when it does get sorted.

@PublicMobile101 If you read the forums you'll see tons of people that have not received any help or acknowledgement of their problems. Myself included. 

 

I understand they are busy, but leaving a customer for weeks without a working phone is unacceptable. If you went to Macdonalds and paid for a big mac and not only do you not get your meal, the staff ignores you for a week. Would that be ok?

What's the e-mail address? I'll get right on that.

 

Oh wait, I can't access my e-mail because it's sending verifications to my number that doesn't work.

I went through the same issues this afternoon and I was also frustrated.  It ended up that I had made a few errors in my information.  My address auto-filled with too much information and I didn't notice.  Once I fixed that it still didn't work.  I went back and took the hyphens out of my Rogers account number.......BINGO!  It worked!  I was up and running after that and Public Mobile sent confirmation texts for successful porting, etc.  

 

Hope that you get yours going soon!

Oh this is actually a pretty common issue.

 

You just have to message one of the mods, wait 40 days, message them again, and then maybe they can help you.
