Not able to make phone calls or receive texts

Spravatoo — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 21:58:09 GMT

I bought and unlimited talk and text plan but I’m not able to send or receive calls or texts.

When I try to make a call I get a voice message saying I’ve used all my minutes and I need to buy more, considering I have an unlimited talk plan, this shouldn’t be the case. My data has worked fine so I know the subscription should be linked properly. I tried turning my phone off and on, and double checked that the number matches on my account.

hoping to get some support on how to fix this asap

@Spravatoo do you have another phone to test the sim card?? this can force a sim re-provision and could resolve the issue

if that does not work, open ticket with PM support:

@Spravatoo , it is possible that the account provisioning was messed up during the activation. I suggest using the chat symbol on the lower right corner of this web page and initiating a support ticket to have your account reset. That should resolve the talk and text issue.

I’m able to use data so I’m assuming the issue isn’t the SIM card!

@Spravatoo

could still be needing provisioning from public mobiles end.

Are you using a physical SIM card or e Sim?

Try resetting the network connections, however swapping the Sim into another phone is another good option as suggested earlier.
