7B1 error: cannot make or receive calls, text or data

Raghavan — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:40:23 GMT

I switched from another provider to Public Mobile and so far I have had a horrible experience. My old number has been inactivated and new one does not work - I cannot call, text or use the mobile data.

I have raised several tickets - none of which are being addressed properly. I get advice on using a different phone, restarting, resetting networks - none of this is working!! Are customer support agents normally extremely slow to respond? I have been more than a day without my phone!!

Moreover, my 'payments' tab shows double the amount I'm expected to pay - for zero service thus far.

Please give me honest feedback on whether to consider this a lost cause and to switch back to my old provider.

@Raghavan

the Customer Support folks look to be swamped right now ....seems like new activations are troublesome for a few people. Can you hold on a work with them to resolve the issue...I'm certain they'll help asap. Watch the Community inbox will be highlighted when they respond.

Have you tried the sim in a different cell yet ...ignore that suggestion if using an esim of course.
