I got an error msg that the esim did not install, and to contact Public Mobile!!  HOW??

Now my line is not active and my number has been apparently ported over to public mobile!!

@RonnyD  Did you get confirmation text from your old provider and reply YES within the 90 minute window ? Dose your old SIM card work or was it eSIM also

@RonnyD 

Did you get to the eSIM installation step?   Either the app will ask for your permission to do it for you automatically, or you will get a QR code to install yourself. 

If you missed the step, 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),  try to reboot your phone once.  

If it still does not connect and if you have any active sim on the phone , disable them (eSIM/Physica sim) or remove the physical sim.  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 Bluetoosh connections, but you just need to add them back after)

if it still does not work, please open ticket with PM support
