Everything on my plan is working as expected, except I can not make calls and my phone will not accept calls. I put my SIM card in a new phone and the same thing happens with that phone. Would a new SIM card fix this issue?

since it is the same when you put your sim in another phone, it could be an account issue or local network issue.
does it show connected to PM network?
did you check My Account to see if your plan is currently active or on hold?
did you try using the phone in another location?
and try to change your network to 3G only and see if it connects at all
You can also try to see if VoLTE works. But first, what brand and model of phone you have?
You can check the VoLTE compatibility here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/volte
If you have a compatible one try to turn on VoLTE
iPhone: Likely no extra work need to do as Telus will enable by default but hide the option. Still you can check
Settings->Cellular->Cellular Data Options->Voice & Data, enable 4G or LTE there
Pixel: Likely no extra work need to do as Telus will enable by default but hide the option. Still you can check
Settings->Network and Internet->Internet, click on the settings icon besides SIM 1, turn on 4G calling there
Samsung/ Other Android: Settings->Connection->Mobile Data, enable VoLTE there
Now, turn off Wifi first and change the network back to LTE or 4G or Automatic.
Check if the phone status bar showing it is connected to 4G or LTE
Then make some calls, see if the signal indicator shows LTE or drop back to H or 3G while you are on the calls. If it stays with LTE, then yes, you are using VoLTE, and you can see if calls are any better.

Are you an old customer or did you port your number over to PM from another carrier?
If you just ported over, did you reply to the text with YES confirming you are porting over to PM with the old SIM in your phone?
There will be a 90 minute window for you to reply or the porting will be cancelled.
If this is your case, contact a CS_Agent by private messaging on the envelope icon on your computer to reset the porting process but leave your old SIM in your phone and wait for the text.

don't do that !
Did you port your old number from a different network when you activated your PM account ?
