Did you check for update on iPhone using >> Settings >> General >> Software update. ??


You can also try logging out of your Apple ID/iCloud Account, the logging back into your account. Sometimes a forced restart may help,

Thx for the prompt support on this. I am sure my iPhone SE has latest iOS, also I log out and log in again which still has no lock!


Then I try to activate from my iPad under set up section. I successfully activate the new card.


Then I went back to wallet app in my iPhone which still shows account service isn’t available. I just can’t add it to Apple Pay. Probably need to wait until my next iPhone?
