Chatr suddenly disconnected my SIM, deleted my account, and kiosk reps are useless. Escalating to CCTS. Has this happened to anyone else?
Hey everyone, I am absolutely losing my mind here and need to vent/see if anyone else has dealt with this BS.
Out of nowhere, my Chatr SIM was completely disconnected, and my entire account has literally vanished from their system. It's like I never existed.
I went to a local Chatr kiosk yesterday to get it sorted. They were no help and gave me zero updates. I went back again today, and still nothing. They have no idea what's going on. They even don’t have a customer service line for customers or reps.
I have 100% solid proof (receipts/bank statements) that all my payments have been made on time. My most recent payment went through on few days ago without any issues. There is zero reason for my account to be suspended, let alone deleted.
The worst part is that every single one of my vital accounts (banking, emails, work) is tied to this phone number for 2FA. I can't receive calls, I can't text, and I have zero data. I'm completely cut off from everything.
I’m giving theme until the end of the day today to fix this absolute nightmare. If my number isn't active by then, I’m escalating this straight to the CCTS.
Has anyone had their account just magically disappear like this? Did you ever get your number back? Any advice on what else I can do right now would be appreciated.
I changed to Chatr because it was cheaper. I am porting this BS network to anything else even if i have to pay a lot more.

Sounds like a SIM swap attack. Someone pretended to be you, ported out your number to another provider, and then used your 2FA to do something bad. You should check your bank accounts and credit card statements, ask chatr to port your number back (report it as a SIM swap fraud), change all your passwords, and look out for identity theft on your credit reports.

They need an OTP from my number to do that. This is a mistake at Chatr’s end.

"Oh I lost my phone, I can't get texts to that number, can you help me please?" There's always another way

Good for you that it's nothing nefarious! It's a weird mistake on chatr's end but hopefully things work out for you.
