SIM activation

Hi there

I seem to be getting nowhere trying to activate the TGP SIM I was sent.

On Monday 12/3/2023. TPG assistant said that the message was that I hadn't received my SIM card as yet. I read the SIM ID back to her; she said she would escalate as an urgent issue and it would be resolved within 48 hours. Call Duration 58 mins.

Wednesday 14/3. TPG assistant said that the transfer cannot be progressed. Will escalate as urgent. Will resolve in the next 24 hours. Call duration 30 mins.

Thursday 15/3. TPG assistant tried activation again. Went off to speak with supervisor. Status indicates that I haven't received the SIM card (that old chestnut!). Will be rsolved in 24-48 hours, and will call back tomorrow with progress report. Call duration 39 mins.

Friday 16/3. No call.

Monday 20/3. Called again, started interaction then call dropped out. Called again and used callback. TPG assistant said the transfer will take 24-48 hours. I indicated that I had been told that already, and she insisted that it was being blocked by my current provider due to a reason such as outstanding payment or other such reason. (I'm not aware of any such reason).

 

Can someone please help?

Hi Ahra

 

I'm now getting a message that I've reached the max number of private messages and cannot send you a reply. The answer to your last question is yes.

Hi - I got 2 attempts at calls this morning (I recognised the number from the callback service). No voice at the other end. I got someone to call my mobile to ensure my audio is working fine, and it is. Still no progress since Monday March 13. As mentioned, I called my current mobile service provider last night and they could not see any sign of a porting attempt.

Thanks @Aubrey . Do you have an idea of an approximate time frame that the mobile team might call?

@Aubrey , I still haven't received an email from a mobile accounts specialist and it has been an hour.
