I just activated a SIM card for Vancouver, BC, Canada but was assigned a 418 Quebec Area Code ???
There was no question I picked Vancouver, BC, Canada, I was actually looking for Langley and chose Vancouver as the closest choice, yet I was assigned a 418 area code which is clearly Quebec?
Now what do I do? I don't want my Vancouver calls being considered long distance. I see no way to contact technical support for this issue, am I just screwed? Do I waste more money on another SIM card and hope it works correctly this time around?

Any tips on how I get this fixed? Right now I am not too impressed with Speakout.

Thank for any help,

Dale

Just call SpeakOut customer service. They are the only ones who can help.

The Store code on the activation sticker, is what the system uses to determine the phone number given.

Should just be the 711 store number you bought it at, but if they transfered stock from a store in Qubec to where you bought it from, or you entered the store number wrong, it will have given you a different phone number.
