I just activated my account. I did not port an old phone number. I cannot make outgoing calls (I get a “call failed message”) and when someone tries to make incoming calls to my number it goes straight to voicemail?
In addition to that, I lost service for approximately 12 hours straight but the other cell users in my home had no issues.
Please advise?

@jk6 First use the down arrow top right of your post and edit/delete your account number as you're posting on a community public forum and this is a 3yr old thread started by another customer. Don't post any personal info here but you can start a new thread and ask for advice or suggestions from other customers on this forum.
If you have been in touch with customer support agents, then you need to respond to the message from the agent which would have been received in your private message box top right next to your avatar.
You can also use the following link to send another private message to CS_Agent (PM employee) here: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

Hi
I have checked all the items above. Another agent determined the old phone number has not been cancelled by Telus and was going to re-do that for me. He wanted the account number and I have it now 20104723
Can you re-set the request to cancel the old account please?

@supergoalie05 Can u try another sim in that phone? Might be a hardware issue if the other sim has the same problem.

What model is your phone? Did it ever work at Public Mobile. The symptoms that you describe are those of a phone not receiving signal. It would also do this if the phone was accidently set to "LTE only" or "2g only".

Does your account look ok/active in the self serve?
Are you able to text?
Does your device show Public mobile for your carrier?
Try rebooting your device.
Try reseating the SIM
Try resetting the Network settings.
If not, contact a moderator, and they can assist you.
