I received SMS from my previous provider (Fido) and replied “YES” to the transfer to public mobile. Also received messages from public mobile saying all set. My eSIM was activated. An email from public mobile said the transfer may take up to 5 hours for Mobile. But 5 hours passed, my cell phone still hasn’t received 5G signal from public mobile. I can not place and receive a call, so does text. Please help me out. Thanks

it is just an esim setup problem, have you remove your Fido sim from the phone yet?
and when you setup your account, did you get to the eSIM installation step? Either the app will ask for your permission to do it for you, or you can get the QR code to install yourself.
If you missed the step to install by the app, there is a QR code in your Welcome email. Open it from a computer, or another device, then use your phone to scan it to install the eSIM profile on your phone.
Once you installed the eSIM profile, (or If you got passed that step eSIM installation step), try to reboot your phone once.
If it still does not connect and if you have another active sim on the phone, disable those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim) using the SIM Manager on the phone or simply remove the physical sim.
And make sure the one associated with PM sim and your phone number is enabled.
(On iPhone: Settings->Cellular , make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on)
Then click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work. (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.
if it still does not work, Please open ticket with PM support:
