I had chosen my plan and number, confirmed the payment method even inserted the sim card to my phone 10 hours ago but it still doesn't gonna work. I have heard that it usually only takes few minutes to do that. I'm wondering what's wrong with this.

    Hi @oxruby

    For the activation a new plan without the number transfer, it will take a minute or two,. My transfer (number portability) took 10 minutes.

    Did you check the status of your plan in the account?

    Do you have the network operator in automatic?

    The steps for enabling your device to automatically select a network varies depending on the type of phone. Here are two examples:

    Android: Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Network operators → Search networks → Automatic/Fizz

    iPhone: Settings → Operators → Automatic/Fizz
