I cannot, for the life of me, get Public Mobile to work

I have paid for and downloaded two eSims, now I have ordered a physical Sim and it came yesterday.  I have it in my phone but continue to get an SOS reading.

I called Koodo and they informed me that my number was successfully transferred a few weeks ago. I had to wait 10 days for my SIM and just want to get things up and running. In order to access any cellular right now I need to use my old Koodo SIM card.

Please help:

I have restarted my phone

Reset network settings

Public Mobile is showing up as my network Option. Do i need a SIM pin or something?  I'm honestly at my wits end.

 

Thanks,

Carla

If your Koodo SIM still works then the port was definitely not completed properly. Your Koodo account should be automatically closed after a successful port.

Hi, I inputed the SIM number from my new physical SIM yesterday so the new number associated with this SIM shows up.

Hello, I did enter the new number yesterday when i got the SIM card. My koodo SIM does work but I was speaking to them today and they said my number was successfully transferred.

@carla77   Your Koodo sim card still works?  If the number was successfully ported to Public Mobile it shouldn't.   Did you enter your new physical sim card number into your PM account?

Sorry to hear about your troubles.  

Are you able to access your PM self service account?  

In your profile section,  what SIM card number shows up?  Your physical SIM card or your eSIM?
