Cannot receive calls

[ElaineB]

I cannot receive calls moved from Bell to Pm yesterday, directly forwards to voice mail, went into forwarding calls and shut off this feature and restarted phone still not receiving calls

2 weeks ago my 2 teens switched to Public from Bell. They followed the process to port their numbers BUT tossed out their Bell SIM cards! The porting of the number did not work now they have Public Mobile but cannot receive a call. It is a safety issue for them as they have health issues and not be able to receive calls. I need to clear this up today or I need to go back to Bell. I don't want to go back to Bell.

I ported the number. However I did not know there was a process to port it

@ElaineB please clarify did you port your number from bell or do you have a new number with Public?

@ElaineB 

If you did not respond to the port request text from Bell within 90 minutes, you will need to try the port again.  I will private message you the Telus porting number and they can help restart the process.  

Leave your Bell SIM card in your phone until you receive that text. 

Here is some more information:

[ElaineB]

I contacted Bell and they said just to put in new Sim card and I was good to go, so no I did not port

[ElaineB]

Did you follow and complete the porting procedure? Bell account was still in good standing, Left your bell sim in the phone and replied YES to the porting text?
