Activation not working

No service after transferring my number from Telus. I've waited over 5 hours with no update. I also purchased a new eSIM, but still have no signal.

Thank you @softtech. I've already tried all the methods you suggested several times, but I haven't had any luck. I'm reaching out for further assistance.

there is a chance that the error was there because the Public Mobile esim is already installed and just not properly enabled

On Android:  Check your Sim Card Manager and see if a Public Mobile eSim is there.  If so, make sure it is enabled.  

On iPhone: check Settings > Celluar and see if the eSIM is there.  If it is, make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on

If the Public Mobile eSIM is there, disable or delete Telus sim (eSIM/Physical sim). 
If the Telus sim is physical, remove it.  If Telus sim is an esim, disable using the SIM Manager on the phone (or set as Secondary and turn off "Turn on this line" for this non-PM esim)  

Then reboot the phone and click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work.  (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.

If it still does not work, you will need to have PM support to further assist.
