URGENT NOTICE for All FreeMii BLUE Network Members
The BLUE Network provider has instituted a new migration policy that requires us to update your line. This occurs when carriers update systems or make changes to technical and service guidelines for operators.
This migration policy requires us to issue you a new SIM card. We are sending this notice to inform you of the next steps.
We will ship your new Blue Network SIM card at no cost.
When you receive your new SIM card please complete our Blue Migration Form with your new SIM card ICCID.
We will notify you when the migration process is complete. At that time you may install your new SIM card into your device.
Your SIM card will ship within 1-2 Business Days to the following address: On File
If this is not your current address, please contact Support via live chat or email support@freemii.com to provide your correct address.
Please note, your line may experience disruption during the migration process (24-72hours). Your services will not be changed or restricted after migration. Failure to complete migration steps may result in termination of services.
This is a curious development. I'm not aware of this process happening at other AT&T providers due to a technical change in the SIM card themselves.
Where I have seen this is when an MVNO changes their underlying middle-man wholesale supplier, either from one MVNE to another, or when they're changing from reseller status to MVNO status. (Direct AT&T to MVNO.) In the latter case, it's not unusual for a provider to assure that there will be no changes in service, and for changes in service to happen anyway. (Example: Teltik)
My new sim is stuck in Chicago. Just now, my Blue sim lost provision. Don't have talk, text or data, 2 days left on this "cycle" with less than 3gb used this period. Logged a report with the chat bot. Waiting to see what happens.
Correct. The new sims being sent out, presumably because of the 3g shutdown in February, though not specifically stated as such. They only said "network upgrades".
Anyways, it's still down for me. Looks like I might have to carry my backup Red phone tomorrow. Good thing most of my contacts have my Google Voice number instead of my Blue network number.
I got Blue in October 2020 - I know it cost more than when I signed up for red in Sept 2020. Did they also add a yearly fee then too? I can't remember for sure, but I don't think so. I never got any notice of needing to pay, but maybe that's the issue? Guess I'll have to wait for support to respond to me.
I had the same thing happen, I was on the pink network, but they decided to ship a blue sim. Service cut off a day after it shipped.
I talked with Monika before it shipped why it was blue sim and was told to disregard as I previously had service on blue. Then I was told it would take 48 - 72 hours to migrate.
I never requested to switch back to blue, but if I don't have service anyways on pink after the migration…
Quite a mess. Not sure why they decided to cutoff service before we had a chance to verify receipt of the sim.
