Linda Houser 3 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I unsynced the old phone and assumed I would still have access to my free account (two devices I believe). Due to troubles porting the account from old provider to new, I may have taken the old phone off the list a couple of times (still the same device though, I thought). But now Evernote won't let me log into the new phone or the desktop account, says I have already unsynced twice this month. Does this mean I have to wait until March 1, or an entire month from yesterday? I wouldn't mind paying the fee except I don't love that I'm being forced to pay it through no error of my own. Normally the free version is plenty for me, just the computer and phone. Thanks for any ideas! Linda Link to comment

Doesn't seem like it's anything to do with Evernote either, just part of the rules they apply to free accounts. Although your new phone had the same number, it is a different device according to any computer system. The only brighter bit of your situation is that the lockdown (I think) is only to the 1st March You could create another account temporarily and then move your temporary notes into your normal account when you get access back, or try for an upgrade and see whether you can pay monthly to keep the costs down. You'd only really need to pay for one month before you dropped the account back to Free... Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,807 Posted February 18, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Traveling at the moment, just got a large „to go“. It is the same price than a one month Personal subscription. If you need access, buy it. If you can wait, wait. EN has not caused the additional unsyncs, so I don’t think it is a case for support.

Sylvio 25 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hi Linda, I hope you've gotten your question resolved at this point. From my understanding, you probably will need to wait until March or upgrade for instant access; it's just how their policies for free accounts work; there is a limit for not only how many devices you can use - and unsync - for free.

Linda Houser 3 Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 Yes thanks! I am not as cheap as my dad so I have paid the fee for just a month haha. 1 1 Link to comment
Linda Houser 3 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 P.S. Forgot to mention at the time, but the real answer appears to be that signing in on desktop makes the "revoke device" deal go through better. When I did that on the phone, Evernote continued to think it was two separate devices. 1 Link to comment
