I cannot receive inbound calls.

stigner123 — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 22:00:45 GMT

I just signed up to PM about 2 hours ago and I cannot receive inbound calls. All I get in a mix of 5UC1, 5UC2 and 5UC3, "you have reached a number that is not equipped for incoming service please check the number and try again."

I also can't seem to text out.

I have also checked my APN settings, rebooted several times.

I am using a Google Pixel 4 XL with PM as a secondary personal line to my work phone.

Did you just port in from another provider?

If so, and you need help with the port, open a ticket for assistance here and type "port request" or call the porting team at ****.

Refer to this link below for more details on the porting process:

EDIT: You might also try powering off phone, remove SIM card, power up phone, then reinserting SIM card. That has sometimes allowed some user's services to function.

I did not port a number, new number directly from PM.

I have also pulled out and moved the SIM card to a second phone as well with the same result.

APN settings aren't related to the ability to make or receive phone calls. Also, there aren't any settings in your phone that can cause your number to be out of service or to make callers hear a message about someone not being equipped to answer calls. This is a network/carrier issue.

.. i wonder if there is server issue for activation tonight.. there has been at least 2 other posts tonight about either not receiving incoming calls.. or Unregistered SIM..

but a normal activation can take between 15 mins to 4 hours.. in the meantime, keep reboot your device every 15 mins...

I never did hear back from the mods, but I think there was a provisioning delay, late last night it just started working.

yes.. unfortunately mod might reply a bit liate.. as long as 48 hours..

and yes.. many new users reported that that finally got the activation later in the night.

Anyway.. Welcome onboard.. Hope you enjoy the service !!!
