How to change the State on an account In some cases a change on the state of the account might be necessary. Cases in which the crew member has lost his CrewSIM number, has not been able to use the service and cases where the account has changed to Frozen automatically are the most common scenarios. The status can change from: In Use to Frozen The system will automatically change the state if the SIM is not used. The following picture shows where to find the states and within each tab the days for the state to change are also specified.

Before first use to In use The state has to be forced to In use. We do this in cases where the crew member reports/claims that his account is not active, but it is active. The status will still show Before first use even when the crew member has tried to send an SMS or top up his account. Once the state is set to In use an automatic SMS will be sent to the crew member informing him on the new status. Frozen to In Use When the system has automatically changed the status due to no usage and the crew member requests to have his number working again, we can forced the system from Frozen state to In use, and the crew member will be able to use the card again. NOTE: the state cannot be changed from Frozen if there is a note indicating that that number is a Lost SIM, or specifying that the account cannot be changed to In use again.

CrewSIM Requests Here are some of the most common requests received at Ccare and what to answer or how to proceed. SITUATION: Crew member says that when he tries to see his account balance it gives him an error message "Subscriber is not in state active in use" SOLUTION: a) Make sure that the account is active. If the account is not active, then it needs to be activated for the message to disappear. b) If the account is active, try changing the status from Before first use to In use as shown below:

21
SITUATION: Crew member is trying to top up his account but gets a message indicating that the voucher type is incorrect. SOLUTION: Inform the crew member that a new CrewSIM card is needed since the first account was in one currency (in this case in AUD) and the voucher is from another currency (in this case USD)

In these cases, you will see the information in NoBill as shown below:

You can verify if the voucher currency is different form the one in the account:

SITUATION: After having lost his CrewSIM card, crew member has acquired a new one and wants to have the credit on the first card to the new one. SOLUTION: It is not possible to transfer credits from one number to another.
