Calling and texting not working after porting number

Fran_ — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 01:20:41 GMT

Hello,

Yesterday I received a SIM card from Public Mobile for my new account. I removed the Virgin Mobile SIM from my phone and replaced it with the Public Mobile SIM. I was given a new number, but I went through the process to port my old number to the new SIM last night. I received a message from Virgin that a text would be sent to me to confirm the transfer, but I never received it. It's been 24 hours now since the transfer, and I am able to place calls, with the correct number (my old number) showing up on the phone I am calling. However, I am unable to receive calls, send texts, or receive texts. Is there any way to get in touch with customer service? Thanks!

did you put your Virgin sim into the phone so you can receive and reply the sms from Virgin?

there is a porting assistance team you can call and ask them to re-trigger the process, but you need to put the Virgin sim back this time. I can't post the number here, but I will message the number to your community inbox. Please check and call them

Thank you. Looks like I didn't do things in the right order.
