Hi
My phone recently stopped making and receiving voice calls through Public. I did recently upgrade my package for more data. I’ve been a customer for many years now. I have worked my way through Simon without resolution. I heard that Public recently upgraded their network and is older customers need new SIM cards. Any truth?
otherwise I’m paying for a service I can’t use. It’s also scary because I don’t have a landline so no method to communicate outside.

To confirm, @Ehovey , you would not need a new SIM card, so don't purchase one to change it.
Can you send and receive texts?
Can you log into self-serve and let us know if the status is displaying as "ACTIVE" or "SUSPENDED"?
By any chance, did you undergo a renewal very recently, if so, it's possible the auto-pay failed and you may simply be in suspension.

@Ehovey you are posting in the forum here and we are just customers like you
However, please try to enable VoLTE and see if it works
iPhone: Settings->Cellular->Cellular Data Options->Voice & Data, enable 4G or LTE there
Pixel: Settings->Network and Internet->Internet, click on the settings icon besides SIM 1, turn on 4G calling there
Samsung/ Other Android: Settings->Connection->Mobile Data, enable VoLTE there
