hi @JayJay74 

what phone do you have? and are you in Manitoba?

first try reboot phone and Reset Network Settings 

and check if your phone is VoKTE capable in PM network here

@JayJay74 

What phone do you have?

If your phone is not on PM's VoLTE whitelist ( https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/volte ) , then it will be using 3G for voice and it might be affected by this:

Telus is currently  refarming the 850MHz band 5 spectrum and hence you are left with 1900MHz for voice calls.

While one compatible band is still sufficient, reality is  1900 MHz could have less coverage, depending on your proximity to a tower and hence you are seeing a poor or no coverage with voice  (Data is not impacted as your phone has the compatible bands on 4G/5G)

If this is really what affecting your voice calls, there is really nothing much you can do other than getting a phone that is on PM's own VoLTE whitelist.
