Strange. For renewal, I recommend using their bundles codes. They are advertised in very small text under the description of their bundles. That should activate autorenewal, automatically. A couple of days before the bundle expires, they send me an SMS letting me know that it will auto-renew. I make sure that I have enough balance at that time. I purchase a top-up at any 7-Eleven, and use it hours before the renewal, to avoid the balance being used for other reasons.

Since yesterday, I have been on Airplane mode and disabling it once in a while to check the situation. Mostly to avoid draining the battery due to the antenna trying over and over. Only recently it worked. But yeah since yesterday I have restarted a couple of times. Last time due to a system update.

I am getting a stable signal and am able to connect to LTE, again! Anyone else getting service back? Is it finally over?

Thanks for sharing. The broken SIM card happened to me as well, some years ago. I would not be so sure that it is not SIM-related. They might have disabled a bunch of SIM cards that are dated. I changed my SIM card probably 3+ years ago. They are supposed to disable SIM cards only if inactive but mine was active for sure!

I agree with you but it costs a fraction of the other providers. Of course, I do not do anything with it before connecting to a respectable VPN. In order for their business to be profitable, I expect them to be selling every single action I do on the Internet. Better encrypt everything. And probably all other providers do the same, anyway.

I tried calling, but it was too late so I was out of luck. Let's see how it goes tomorrow.

Ahah but I would like to understand if the SIM card is breaking, or if the issue is experienced by other users in the area.

It should match the lowest requirements. The Netgate SG-1100 has similar specs.
