Hey Community,

Earlier today we identified an issue affecting select customers on Province-wide talk plans in which outbound phone calls were unable to be placed. Inbound calling, texting and data services remained unaffected.

Our technical teams are implementing a solution which will restore outbound calling service to normal by early morning of March 20. No action is required on your behalf.

However, in the meantime, we have added a complimentary 400 minutes Long Distance Talk Add-On (includes calls to Canada & the U.S) for our affected customers, which you can use immediately and will allow you to make outbound calls. This Add-On will not expire as any unused minutes will roll over to your next cycle.

We understand that your service and staying connected is important and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience.

Hey Community,

We’ve identified an issue affecting select customers on Province-wide talk plans in which outbound phone calls are unable to placed. Currently, this looks to be isolated only to Quebec.

If you’re currently experiencing this issue, please note that inbound calling, texting, and data services remain unaffected. Meanwhile, wi-fi calling services and inbound calling may meet your talk needs temporarily.

Our technical team has identified the source of the issue and is working to restore service as quickly as possible. We will provide updates as we learn more.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

Did you go here https://libreservice.publicmobile.ca/? One sim card is link with one account. The calls didn't go through even if the message you said?

Cannot make any calls this morning.

SInce this morning, march 18, I cannot make any calls with my phone. It says I do not have the required long distance plan. I have the province wide plan. I can, however, receive calls.

Seems like something is broken somewhere !

@devouges

Does this happen to every number? What about a 1-800 number or trying to call yourself? Make sure you are dialing a “1” to the start of each number. If this doesn’t help make sure you still have minutes left / an active calling plan. If it still doesn’t work you may have a provisioning issue and need to be corrected by the moderator team. Send a private message to the public mobile moderator team. Click this to message them.

did you try to call the number outside your province since you are on province wide plan?

Ok your accounts shows ACTIVE. That's strange that all the 3 phones doesn't work at the same time..is it for a phone number in particular or for every numbers?

@stonechucker anything to do more? Many on the french side too have this same problem this morning...

Re: Cannot make any calls this morning.

stonechucker — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 12:32:16 GMT

@devouges, this sounds like you're misdialing the number. Ensure the number is 10 characters long, all numbers. If it's a long distance call within the province you should include a 1 before the area code.
