SMS Not Sending Or Receiving After eSIM Activation & Virgin Plus Port

Sydra — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:05:43 GMT

Hi everyone, I need help with an issue after switching to Public Mobile.

I activated an eSIM and transferred my number from Virgin Plus. I received the porting confirmation text from Virgin and replied YES within the required time. My Public Mobile eSIM shows as active on my Android phone.

The problem is:

- I can send text messages, but nobody receives them

- I am not receiving incoming SMS from anyone

- Data and calling appear fine (if applicable) but SMS is completely not working

From what I've been reading, this seems like a stuck or incomplete port, even though I replied YES.

Could a CS agent please check the status of my port and help retrigger or complete it? I can provide my phone number, IMEI, and Virgin Plus account details privately.

Thanks in advance for your help!
