Telus has removed the voice outage note on its site so it should be resolved.

do you have another phone to test the sim card as well?

if not, I think you should ask PM to check.  Please open ticket with PM using the Orange Chatbot icon on the lower right. Type the question Submit ticket and select Contact Us to get to ticket open screen

Something here makes no sense. My neighbour next door who has exactly the same plan with Public Mobile has had no issues today. He can call out no problem. I have been unable to make calls today. I have been advised that there is an issue with service in Western Canada. So how is that even possible that one person has the problem and the person right next door doesn't?

it is an issue with Telus. They said they were working on it. I received a text that it was fixed, but it is not. I still cannot make outgoing calls. I was given a link earlier by someone on community that gives me text message updates from Telus.

I'm in the exact same boat! I was able to receive a call but cannot make any outgoing calls or check my voicemail which is frustrating. Double checked and again I'm all paid up in the middle of my service month. So thankful I checked this forum. Fingers crossed it comes back ASAP as this is a serious inconvenience for so many of us.

@Viraj123 

log in to your account to just confirm that. If you have limited calling minutes, you can either wait until renewal OR...get a $5 / 500 minuites of in Canada calling add-on.  So...what plan do you currently have ?

Viraj123
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

unlimited outgoing..

Viraj123
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

No I have unlimited outgoing. Thanks

@Viraj123 

do you have one of the plans with limited outgoing calls ? Mine is the $15 Plan with 100 minutes only outgoing...unlimited incoming.

Subscription is up to date. I change the SIM card in to another working phone. Still it does the same. I am receiving calls with no issues. Texting works both ways. But can not make phone calls.

Restarted the phone, took the SIM card clean and reset. Nothing works yet. Please help

Both my kids cells are working now, restarted my cell again still not working so I just ordered a new sim card as I have not gotten a response from customer service. Annoying to say the least.

Sorry SueP2 , maybe do a reboot if you have not already done so.

@Charmaine12341 hopefully won't be that long as some have reported that it started working for them. You can try reaching out to Customer support but not sure if they will do anything for you. To contact them click on the orange circle in the bottom right corner and type: Customer Support Agent

The only ones who can assist with that would be the Public Mobile customer support agents. Please open a ticket using the chatbot:  https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html

Telus is saying that Voice outbound should be working,  but it isn't for me

@Rick4290 TELUS is aware and working on it as I think it's also affecting their other brands (TELUS and Koodo) so hopefully very soon but with these kinds of outages it's hard to have an ETA

Thank you so much!  Will just hope they correct this soon!

It looks like Public Mobile is experiencing an outage in western Canada (BC, AB, and SK). It seems to be voice calls going out as several have reported being able to to receive calls, text and data has been working. Hopefully they’ll have this fixed quickly.

All paid up, mid-month, and today I can's make any outgoing calls.  Tried removing/reinstalling sim card, and restarting, still no outgoing calls.  What should I do?

there issue is affecting subscribers in Western Canada, but we know not everyone over there has the problem, only some

we don't know when Telus will fix it.  It is affecting Telus and Koodo as well.  Try reboot the phone every so often and test again
