I’m stuck on “stay on the line” or “we’re dialing up your plan”.
This usually happens when the app isn’t sure whether you’re adding a new device or linking to an existing one.
- Adding another Tin Can to your account
- Open the Tin Can app
- Tap Add Tin Can at the top
- Choose Link to an existing line
- This skips the plan-activation step and usually avoids the “dialing up your plan” screen
- If you don’t see your Tin Can, make sure you’re logged into the correct account (check your email)
Setting up your first Tin Can (or a new line)
- Make sure you purchased a plan using the same email you’re logged into the app with
- If needed, log out and back in with the email used at checkout
- Complete plan setup at activate.tincan.kids, then return to the app
I closed the app — what now?
- Don’t worry! Nothing will break
- Open the app and resume setup when prompted
- If it doesn’t resume automatically, start the setup flow again
