Did you reply YES to the PAT (porting authorization text) within 90 minutes of receiving it? If not call the telus porting department phone number that you were sent in your private message box with your old provider's account # and reinitiate your port request. Put your old Sim card back in your phone to reply YES to the PAT. Your port will complete in a few minutes to a maximum 2 hours. Welcome to Public Mobile!

@Kaulenback - if you ported a number over perhaps the porting failed. Which voicemail are the calls going to...the previous provider's?

 

If still issues, submit a ticket with Public Mobile representatives (CSA) for help; click this link for issues with transfer/porting of phone numbers over to Public Mobile.

Or, you can try calling the Telus porting phone number, which we are not supposed to post here. So, check your private messages I will send it to you there.

 

If this activation was not through a port from a previous provider, move your SIM card into another compatible phone and see if calls come in...just ruling out a device issue/settings.

@Kaulenback   very important question

did you port in your phone number from another provider?

or you picked new phone number from PM ?

There are times when the network and devices have difficulty falling back from LTE to the HSPA network that is required for vocie calls.  To see if that's occuring, you can tempoarily set the phone to only use the 3g network.

Could you please give more information so we can help further?

- Did you just ported your number from another carrier to PM?

- Do you reboot your phone by powering it off then back on?

Try these fixes:

 

  • ensure airplane mode is not enabled
  • ensure do not disturb is not enabled
  • ensure the number calling you is not on a blocked senders list
  • disable any call-forwarding features/settings
  • turn off Bluetooth -- it's possible the 'ringing' is going through to a Bluetooth device instead of device's speakers
  • remove and reinsert your SIM card
  • reset network connections

Did you recently port your phone number into pm?

 

Did you recently go thru renewal?

Hopefully it isn't an automatic payment issue. Check under My Account to see if your plan isn't suspended.
