If you are having trouble with your services, the next step is to contact a moderator. Here is the link to create a ticket through SIMon:
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help -> Click on Chat with Simon on the line "ask me something" write "moderator" -> then click on "account specific question" -> afterward click on "no, I want a human" -> finally you will see an answer "submit a ticket Click me!"

Are you referring to not being able to use the SIM card in a different phone? If that is the case, it is likely the account set up failed in some way. To address this kind of issue you will need moderator team support. The moderator team can be reached via private message using this link. Please include a detailed description of the issue and the required resolution. This will speed up problem resolution significantly. Refer to the following knowledge base link for additional information on contacting the moderator team.

This could be an account related problem. Can you try the SIM card on a different phone to confirm the account is functional.

@TheresaK If airplane mode doesn't reconnect you then try resetting your network setting:
- From the home screen, Press the Call key.
- Press Dialer.
- Dial ##72786#.
Note: The Final # may not display.
- Press YES. The handset will restart.
- The phone will restart and Hands Free Activation will begin.

This model? This phone is compatible on 3G. So you should have no problems with calling. Do you see a signal strength indicator with possibly a 3G symbol on the notification bar? Would it be possible to post a screen cap or two? It doesn't make sense why the phone would indicate a connection but phone call won't work. For data it is a little more involved with making sure the APN settings are correct.

Does the notification bar show connection with signal strength indicator?

@TheresaK Try rebooting your phone first. Does public mobile appear at the top right of your phone screen? If not go to your network settings and choose public mobile if it appears.
Did you pick a new number or port in your own number?

@TheresaK , after activation what does your self serve account look like? Does it show active status with the correct plan loaded in the account? What phone are you using? I am not sure what you mean by checking networks for connection?
