I can’t make or receive calls in the US and I’ve purchased the roaming package. It keeps coming up “dial assist” on my phone.

Dial assist? Are you including a 1 in front of the numbers you're trying to call?

Did you possibly buy two different talk parts?

Hi @kaylavv are you manually connecting to AT&T or TMOBILE?  Try T-Mobile, voice can work on its 2G as well as 3G network

The issue with Public mobile US roaming at the present time is the decommissioning of 3G Networks in the USA.  Public mobile uses AT&T and T mobile as their US partner carriers.  AT&T already phased out 3G network earlier this year. T mobile 's date was July 1.  It may take time for the different areas in USA to decommissioned. 

 

According to Public mobile,

PM will have T mobile 2G network for US roaming.

Voice and SMS text will still work. 

Data will work on LTE, but will switch over to 2G to make a call. 

However, the quality of service will vary depending on the different coverage areas when roaming in the USA.

 

Public mobile is working on a long term solution, but that will take time.
