I'm using a Huawei 6s, and recently transferred from Fido to PM. The top bar/menu shows Public Mobile, 4G network; can send/receive text msg; data should work. However, I cannot make phone calls!!! Cannot call in/out!? Please help. Is my phone not compatible with PM's network? I entered the APN info but it doesn't help.
@will13am Thank you for your research! I tried my SIM on older phone (Moto G - I believe it's 1st gen, unlocked)...everything worked! However would prefer to use my Huawei6s longer if possible... Unfortunately looks like it's incompatible with PM?!

@MLSU PM uses 3G for calls. That phone does not have any of the required 3G bands. If you insert your sim in a compatible phone it should start working. Time for a new phone.
I'm not sure which version/variant of the Huawei 6s is this member is uisng, but it look like at least one of them does have UMTS band 2, which would work for phone calls.
I'm not sure how many different versions of this device there are, but it is entirely possible that the OP's phone doesn't have either of UMTS band 2 or 5.
The only version that I could find is the Pakistan version. The link above suggests that it might also support the LTE B7 so maybe that is why it can connect to PM's LTE. I think the only reason it worked on Fido was because of 2G.
Does Telus even have any Band 38 on LTE? I'm not sure that those specs match the OP's device because I'm not sure which LTE band would the member be connecting to.
Once again the disappearing customer. This is why I asked long ago which specific make/submodel they had. Meanwhile we're having a specs war. The OP has *some* functioning.

Recognizing that 3G is used for calling until recently and only on some carrier brands, no phone has LTE only mode. The fact that both incoming and outgoing text works means it's not a number porting issue. I haven't seen it for some time, accounts can have provisioning problems which affect the calling feature. I would consider asking the moderator team to do an account reset to see if that resolves the calling problem. The moderator team can be reached via private message using this link.

You're right about LTE-only mode not being in the regular menus. However, in the secret/hidden Android menus on some devices, that mode can be set, which would disable phone calls at Public Mobile.
I did some further thinking. Perhaps the phone is stuck in LTE mode because of compatibility issues on 3G. Gsmarena information suggests this is the reason.

@MLSU could you take a screenshot of your plan details? And maybe the payment history?
Are you on a limited calling plan ie the 10$ plan?
Did you select a ready made plan or did you use the plan builder?
That also leads to another though about if a plan without calling was taken by mistake. It's not as hard for that to happen as we might think, because there have been times when there have been been more than one Ready-made plan for the same price.

Edit: I found the problem. This phone is not compatible on the 3G network.

Usually on transferring, the inbound doesn't work for either text or voice.
APN doesn't do anything for voice.
Do you have a full model/submodel description for that phone?
Please re-check calls in/out, texts in/out and internet browsing/MMS.
Is your phone unlocked? Being that you came from Fido it should work. I came to PM from Rogers and it works. If your phone is unlocked it should work. It may be that your phone isn't unlocked.
The customer has been using text messaging services. This means that the phone is indeed unlocked.

Unless you data services aren't working, this isn't any reason to touch your APN settings. APN settings don't affect the ability to make phone calls.
There are couple of possibilities. One possibility could be that your phone is set to LTE only mode. If that's the case, text messaginng and data will work, but phone calls will not. The second thing that could cause this would be a network provisioning issue on Public Mobile's end.
