Just got new phone plan. I can only text on phone. Why cannot do outgoing /incoming calls?

@Piazza86 did it shows it connects to PM network? Any error like Sim not provisioned? No Network? No SIM?

You can text, but you could be using iMessage or RCS which was using your wifi

If you see it is not connecting to PM network. Try to reseat the sim card once again (or if you have dual sim slot, try your other sim slot)

If it still does not work, it likely a sim card provisioning issue, which is an easy fix on PM side. Just engage them via ticket:

@Piazza86 , did you submit a number transfer with the activation. That will definitely affect incoming calls, but outgoing should generally work fine. If your phone has a VoWiFi setting, make sure that it is not switched on.

@Piazza86 - what model of phone do you have? Can you try the SIM card into another compatible phone to see if incoming and outgoing calls work?

How about data, does that work?
