My movistar SIM stopped working on the internet last night. Attempts to access the net either timed out or very very slowly redirected me to the movistar prepay site. I thought maybe it was just the end of my 5 day free internet I went to the store, purchased C$150.00 topup, and registered for the $USD 1/day internet - but it wouldn't work either They tried my SIM in another phone - still not working Then they replaced the SIM - a new SIM on the same number/account - still not working in any phone Finally, they set up a new account, new SIM, new number, and another 5 days free internet - that works It took a lot of time wasting for them to actually give me the new SIM, as they kept on trying to prove it was a fault with my European phone. I would recommend that anyone else who encounters the problem: a) take out your SIM and insist that they try it in their phone b) if you see the same symptoms, don't pay a top up for your existing SIM - insist on getting a new SIM with new number What could have caused a lock out? I use my phone as a wifi hotspot a lot yesterday because the hotel wifi was not connecting, maybe I just used too many megabytes, or maybe someone from movistar was at my talk about VoIP yesterday? _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
