Trouble activating a GoPhone?

I have recently purchased an iphone 5s gophone. The activation instructions indicate that after installing the SIM card, an app should have loaded after a few minutes to guide me through the activation process; this didn't happen so I followed the instructions to go to att.com/goactivate and entered the SIM card number there, after which I got a screen saying "Activation Successful" and giving me my phone number and the last four digits as the password for my account. And yet, my phone is not activated (I tried calling, texting and data), and when I try to log into my account, I get a message saying my number is not a valid gophone subscriber. I don't really know where to go from here.

Greetings @rebecca218!

 

I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you are having with activating your new GoPhone! I completely understand how this can become very frustrating. I will be delighted to help get this untangled for you.

 

I would be more than happy to work with you personally to get this phone activated. In order to do this, I invite you to send me a private message to @ATTMobilityCare. Please include your full name, a good number to reach you, and the best time of day to call. Please feel free to provide me with any other important information you would like me to know.

 

I look forward to speaking with you. Have a fantastic day!
