So, I got a SIM (no data) from 7-11, activated it, inserted it into the v16 and voila...... works like a charm. I can text it, call it and it responds as expected. Here is my problem......
Even though everything is working on the RF-V16 side, my 7 Eleven account will not display anything regarding usage because I can not complete the setup. When I click on "My Account" I am directed to a page with "Validate Your SpeakOut Phone Number" which generates a text message, sends a code to my number which I must re-enter on this same page. Given the text is sent to the V16, I never see the code and hence cant complete registration.
I wrote 7-Eleven support but all they tell me is to get a device on which I can receive and read the text message to complete the setup. Great... Any old phone I have is locked to a network (i.e. Telus).
I know that most if not all Canadians using the RF-V16 tracker are using a 7-Eleven SIM card. How did you manage to validate your SpeakOut Number???
