Unable to Activate Account

I am a new customer to Public Mobile. I just received a new physical SIM card. I tried activating my account via the App. During the account setup I selected a new phone number.  To confirm full access and complete the setup, I must verify with a six digit code sent to my new Public Mobile number. I am not receiving texts with the new number and my phone is unable to activate the cellar data network. 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Per the Chatbot:

Keep your old SIM card in your device and your previous account active until you receive and respond to the SMS from your previous provider. Only replace your old SIM card with your Public SIM after you've authorized the transfer request.Tip: Keep your old SIM card in your device and your previous account active until you receive and respond to the SMS from your previous provider.

@Handy1 - yes restarted several times. Removed and re inserted the SIM card as well. I do not have another phone to test with. 

I will try submitting a ticket.
