Can't make or receive any calls!

[Jeff19]

I can't make any outgoing calls or receive any and since there isn't any customer service you can speak to I don't know what to do? I can't log into my account either because I forgot the password and now it says I am locked out and to contact Public Mobile and so I can't even create a ticket. This is ridiculous, my account is all paid up and I am not due for a payment for about 2 weeks still, so I have no idea what is going on or how to fix this? I paid for this already and I can't use what I have paid for.

.. likely a Telus issue .. It looks like a network issue instead of account, so, it should be a Telus issue

[jfidelak]

aaaaaand... it's back. Public Mobile network is now connected for me, phone working again. Outage (that I noticed) was about an hour or so. Was it a Public problem or a Telus problem? I dunno. Hopefully others' similar problems are also fixed.

@Dinsdalej  there is no known issue according to Telus status page.  

did you try reboot your phone?  or reseat the SIM as well?

Did this just suddenly happen?

There were changes in the Manitoba area, but for months now:

[Jeff19]

I've looked online a bunch and I don't see any outages reported.

[jfidelak]

In Winnipeg, my phone is "Emergency Only". No network. Rebooted phone, reseated SIM. Checked Telus outage page, nothing (yet).

I am in Winnipeg.

Hello same here are you in Manitoba by chance. Brandon public and Koodo not working for me 

[Luddite]

@Jeff19  Try the SIM in another unlocked phone, and working SIM in yours. If that confirms an account issue open a trouble ticket. 

To obtain a ticket, click on https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html and enter your question in SIMon. Follow / invent the prompts until you reach the Contact Us button, click on it and a Submit Ticket button should appear. To confirm that your ticket has been submitted, check the SEND box in your private messages; click on the small envelope next to your avatar at the top right of your screen.

If you have problems submitting a ticket, you can also send a private message to the moderators, but this alternative contact method may have a longer response time. Click: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

As emergency backup check out the apps from Fongo and TextNow for free calling/texting on wifi.

Try resetting your network settings on your phone.  As well take SIM card out and put back in and reboot.

If problems continue contact a moderator.

Contact a moderator (Public Mobile representative) for assistance:

Can you call 611 from your phone to see what your account status is?
