My son got a phone upgrade two weeks ago, new P9Lite, required new SIM. We've had a SureSignal for years,and I have a P9, and there are two other phones using it. My son's number worked fine until this upgrade. Now it just will not work. Vodafone online chat has been a disaster - 4 1 hour sessions answering the same questions, 'refreshing the system', adding/removing his number, etc. I phoned 191 and they did an over the air software upgrade of the suresignal, still not working. His phone works 100% in the open air. When I put his new SIM in an old phone I get the error 'not register to network' - which is misleading because it works 100% outside. The other three phones in the hosue all work 100% on it.
I'd love a solution, please Vodafone. One that doesn't involve me spending any more time with your online chat, and one that doesn't expect me to take the suresignal to the local store, where they don't even know what it is. I might be wrong, but logically it's not the suresignal that's at fault - it's the SIM card and registration on your network.

Hi @mwonham
When you change SIMs, you will need to deregister the Sure Signal from the previous SIM, leave it for 24 hours and register the number again.
Before reregistering, please clear cookies and PC cache.

If you have problems reregistering, please use live chat for account access.

'24 hours' is a new requirement. Online chat said 2 hours. Then 6 hours. Then 'refreshed a system' and said 2-6 hours. Then 191 said up to 6 hours. Anyway, look, 24 hours suggests a random answer, on top of everything else I've seen.
Doesn't matter. I took his number off and left it for 3 days over hte weekend and it still doesn't work, so 24 hours didn't work.
Anything else you can suggest? Perhaps at some point you might suggest sending a replacement SIM so we can start the whole process again?

Hi @mwonham
This isn't good to hear. We'd love to help.
We'll need to pass some security checks with you, to discuss it further. Please get in touch, following the steps that I've sent to you in a private message.
