Cannot connect to Public Mobile network

lewallen — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 17:19:32 GMT

Dear Public Mobile: I recently activated my new public mobile account; payment has been verified, and the account is in good standing. I inserted the SIM into an iPhone X, and i cannot get any service. The phone displays "Public Mobile"; I have manually selected the public mobile network in "Cellular" and carrier coverage, but the phone doesnt connect to network. I restarted and followed all of the steps. Please help me connect to the network, thank you!

@lewallen , you should not have to manually connect to the network. Have you tried a network reset to see if that helps.

@lewallen to rule out a phone or SIM/account issue, can you try your SIM card into another compatible phone?

Reboot the phone with the SIM card inside, performing a reset of the network settings is a good thing to do on a new activation or change of phone.

Does it work in another phone?

Other things to ensure when porting or changing phones:

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

IF still issues, ask Customer Support to check your account; 2 methods to reach them here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

@lewallen

You have an iPhone. First connect to wifi and check for any software updates. Then you need to connect to iTunes and update your carrier profile. You will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID at some point and you should be good to go....lol...ok I went and looked to be sure....

. Insert new working SIM - do not turn phone on (if SIM is already in, turn off)
2. Connect to computer with USB cable.
3. Start iTunes if it doesn't auto run
4. iPhone will switch on. Wait until iTunes registers it and checks for updates
5. Install the carrier profile update (if offered, if not, go to step 6)
6. Disconnect and restart.
