Hi all,
I just got a new plan at public mobile and transferred my phone number from my previous provided to public mobile successfully without any issues. I can make and receive calls, can browse internet and all good except SMS/text. I don't seem to receive or send any text.. I mean I send text but the receiver doesn't get it. I also don't get any error either. Tried to send sms from another number and received nothing. Not sure whats wrong.. any idea.
I am using the eSIM option. Disable Virgin mobile SIM ( I have physical sim) in the settings and made public mobile default but still no luck. My virgin mobile subscription will end Nov02 so not sure if that could be the reason, which I doubt.
Thanks in advance for any help.

you will need to ask PM support to reprovision the account.
Since you cannot receive text, you won't be able to properly login and hence won't be able to open the preferred Chatbot ticket, you will need to message them here:

unfortunately didn't work. Removed the physical sim from Virgin, restarted the phone, reset the network settings but still no luck.

hi @maronvomra
Remove your Virgin Mobile sim card and Reboot the phone and Reset the Network settings
Test and see if it works
if not, and if you have an Android phone, uninstall Google Message, reboot phone and Reinstall the Google Message

if you have a physical Virgin sim, remove it. After you removed it, reboot the phone and Reset network settings and it will work
