There are some issues with the network.

Try to put your phone on 3G mode to see if it helps.

You can also try:

-Reset Network settings
-Update Messaging/Google apps
-Reseat SIM card
-Try SIM card in another unlocked phone.

There have been issues the last several days with some customers unable to receive calls or texts. They were able to use data and usually call out/text out.

Are you in a similar situation?

What are some of your details? ie. new customer versus old,

@nanniemclean

Are you able to call out or text to others? What about data?

nanniemclean — Sun, 12 Sep 2021 13:08:46 GMT

Actually nothing working. Like I was disconnected. In fact when I first looked my phone did say disconnected and then after a little while it said I was ok.

@nanniemclean

I have removed the solution since we have not solve your issue yet 😀

Do you have another working phone available? Try putting the SIM card in that working phone. That will help determine whether hardware issue versus PM service problem.

Yes in the same situation. I have been with Public Mobile for a long time.

I have done that because it is important to receive call. I am disabled and need the phone. As there is a lot of people saying the same thing, I would assume it is the Network.

Let me try to get this straight:

Have you tried ANY of the tips in my first post, i.e.

Try to put your phone on 3G mode to see if it helps.

You can also try:

-Reset Network settings
-Update Messaging/Google apps
-Reseat SIM card
-Try SIM card in another unlocked phone.

@nanniemclean

So, you tried the SIM card in another phone? And the other phone has the same issue? ie. not working?

As mentioned above, a few basic trouble shooting advice:

Reboot phone

Network reset of phone

Toggle airplane mode on, then off.

Remove SIM card and re-insert and reboot phone.

It still may be a network issue. Where do you live?

I did do your suggestion of putting my phone on 3G and rebooted. Another issue I have been running into is that I call someone and I can hear them but they cannot hear me. I hang up and redial and it goes through properly.

I give it a day or so to see if changing to 3G is working and let you know.

Thanks

My phone is saying VPM none. Is that something that should be addressed?

Re: calls and data not working

nanniemclean — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 12:36:22 GMT

Did you get my message about calling people and I can hear them and they can't hear me.

Could be a hardware issue. Have you tried your SIM in another phone?

Or at least reinstall the card.

is it VPM none? or VPN none?

where you see VPM none

For your phone voice issue. Try this

1. use a wired headset and see if issue persists

2. you can do the same test with bluetooth headset as well

3. Or use speakphone.

all these is to confirm it's not the microphone issue on the phone

Of course, you can also try to put your SIM on another phone.
