I unfortunate locked myself out of my phone but fortunately got back in. Everything seems to be working but I cannot make calls out or receive calls. Texting is working fine.
Can anyone help?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You are an absolute star. Switching to 3G worked. I can now phone out.
I will be saving that info in case I should need it again.
Now I can resume my life. Can't believe how important my phone has become to me.
Thank you for your help.

If you go to settings then network, then movie network, then advanced, then preferred networks you sound have options to switch between GSM, 3g and LTE possibly even more combinations, depending on your phone

@maudiemay Did you try restarting phone, using fly mode or lost/stolen feature in self-service? Sometimes, turn off the phone and leaving it for a few mins and then turn on helps.

Were you by chance playing with Call Barring or Fixed Number Dialing in the phone app ? If so you may have inadvertently set a PIN2 lock code on your SIM. This will allow calls only to a few specific numbers you setup (or none). If you did, and you dont know what PIN2 code you used, you might need to contact Public Mobile moderators to get the PUK (Pin Unlock Disable) code for your SIM to disable it again...

Try switching to 3g only and test it
Sounds like you are on lte only
If it works on 3g switch to auto then restart
