Call problems

[Grace_L]

My husband and I switched from Fido to Public Mobile today, his number seems to work good, but I cannot make nor receive phone calls, data and text message work OK. Please assist. Thank you.

@Grace_L  If that is the case with the port being completed, then as recommended by @Maple98  make sure your preferred network type under your device's mobile settings is set to automatic and not LTE only. If there is an option for LTE/UMTS select that one.

@Grace_L  Do you both have the same type of phone? If not, have you checked that your phone brand/model is compatible with PM?  You can check it here:

Are you only getting an LTE connection (this may also explain why you have data & texting, but no voice service)?

Also never hurts to try restarting your phone (if you haven’t already & if the above do not apply).

Actually both numbers were under my husband's name in one account. But I have been using one of the number for years. How can I get this resolved?

@Grace_L  Ask you husband to login into his Fido account. Does the account show any of the number add active? Which phone number was ported out first, yours or your husband's?

If your port is stuck or incomplete, you will need to private message a moderator.

@Grace_L  Was your Fido account a shared account but any chance? If yes, you must port out the non primary account holders number first to prevent the account from closing. In order for a port to complete successfully that account must be active.

Did you port (transfer) your phone# ?  If so it maybe stuck and in that case then you will need to contact a moderator.
