Do you get network coverage.

What error you get.

Try to search network manually.

Hi,

 

Nope don’t get network coverage and instead of the usual “Bars” I get a  “Forbidden” icon

Forbidden icon you mean circle and line within it.

You are not getting network at one place or every where.

Restart mobile and search network manually.

Correct “circle with line in it”. Have restarted my phone and get “Error while searching for networks” when I try to search the network manually. I’ve also check the network coverage and 100% covered where I am

Hi there @scollorec2 

If you had previously marked the SIM as lost then a suspension might still be in play on the account.

We’ve sent you a private message from our side though to take a look at that and lift that if that’s the case.

Simply click on your profile icon in the top right, then go to your private messages.

Hello @Madgal88

It sounds like you’ve got a new SIM card which is already active.

Did you order a brand new contract instead? As the way this sounds, it does appear so.

A replacement SIM is sent out by customer services and is blank, thus can be activated onto your old account.

Let us know if you still need help.

Can you please give me a number to talk to someone? I have tried online help and this format is very slow. I need the phone to work immediately. I have waited 24hrs for SIM activation and it still doesn't work.
