If you just ported, it takes some time, every hour or so remove your battery / restart your phone. It can take time on your first port over and there can be weird issues for a short period of time.

If the issue continues you may have a partially completed port but most often ports just take a bit longer. One of the moderators can take a look, see if they need to do something to move it along. Click this to send them a message

You should also be able to stick your old sim card in and still works, keep using it until it stops working, then your new public mobile sim should have incoming calls working

@allen2019 Also, when you say forwarded to voicemail- did you set up public mobile voicemail yet? It is likely going to your OLD providers voicemail. Can you check that please?

Two hours was just an estimate. Sometime it takes a little more time to complete the port. When you said voice mail, which voice mail was it? Was it Public Mobile or previous provider voice mail?

@allen2019 2 hours is quite optimistic in my experience. Restard the phone. If no go- Stick in the old sim till it stops working. If it stops working and public mobile sim still doesn't get calls message the mods, probably a failed/stuck port.

I only setup my Public Mobile Account and it says active.

I haven't setup Public Mobile Voicemail. How do I do that?

Thanks

@allen2019Must be a problem with the port then, they should get back to you soon. ~~Monday-Friday 9am-9pm (EDT) and Satuday-Sunday 9AM-7:30PM (EDT)~~ Monday-Friday 8am-12am (EDT) and Satuday-Sunday 8AM-10PM (EDT) is when they are working, and lately they have been responding with a few hours but they say it takes up to 48 hours. Hope you get taken care of soon it will be worth the wait. Once things are set up this is a great place to be.

@allen2019Hold 1 on your phone. If it does not work dial a number from here https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Paying-for-your-service/access-voice-mail-out-of-home-province-province-wide-plan-long/m-p/46158#M4945 then change your dialer voicemail shortcut to a local number from that list

Appreciate all of yoru help. Thanks.

Setup voicemail but dialing 1. However when I call myself from another phone, the auto message said the voicemail is not initiated. So, doesn't help.

Thanks
