The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: Why can I not activate my phone https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/why-can-i-not-activate-my-phone/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 walter_wpg on Why can I not activate my phone https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/why-can-i-not-activate-my-phone/#p32775 Phone/Device Issues and Features https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/phone-features/why-can-i-not-activate-my-phone/#p32775 We activated a new SIM on Tuesday evening (July 25), using a PC browser, at their web page. Worked immediately, with no problems of any kind. Phone can now make and receive calls.

(However, we did have difficulty setting up the voice mail. We did call our own number, using our mobile phone with the new SIM installed, but we did not get the voice prompts that the procedure said would occur.)

Purchased SIM card , couldn't activate it. Web page won't let me create a account with mobile device, phone number on SIM card won't allow me to activate. Customer service put me on hold for 5 minutes then hangs up.
Web page customer support takes 2-3 days to respond.

Finally figured out had to use desktop to make account. And customer support says phone number in sim instructions is incorrect.

Just next level stupid

When trying to activate a sim card, I always prefer to call them, rather than trying to do it on the website. It's better to have someone walk through it on the phone.

It was before this date that I was having these issues.

Example web page not sending email to register online account.

As well the dial in activate a sim, not letting me punch in 9 digits.

All this was before the system outage. As you can see I posted 21
