@triangle2 you were at a different screen. You were at Network selection
try this:
- Go to Settings menu.
- Tap Connections.
- Tap Mobile Networks.
- Tap Network Mode.
- Select 2G, 3G, 4G or 5G Network Mode.

@euclan - if you ported over to Public Mobile from another provider, was your previous account with the old provider still ACTIVE? It needs to be ACTIVE (unless if is coming from Koodo or Telus ... there could be different allowances with these companies).
If still issues, submit a ticket with Public Mobile representatives (CSA) for help; click this link for issues with transfer/porting of phone numbers over to Public Mobile.
If you have activated a new account and transferred over from another provider, note that incoming calls are usually the last to port over.
- Cell ports can take 2-3 hours. Use the previous provider's SIM card to receive the porting transfer text for approval, within 90 minutes, to port over to Public Mobile and to receive calls from until port is complete.
- Landline/voip ports can take 3+ days. Expect a mix of services on the landline and Public Mobile SIM card until port is complete.
When the incoming calls stop on the previous provider’s SIM card and/or landline/voip account, that is a good indication the port is complete.
See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection
Perhaps also review how to set up voicemail:

Are you a new customer?
Did you recently activate and port in your number? Can you connect to the Public Mobile network?
We are customers and know nothing about you or your account status. The more you can provide, the better someone can help you.
These are the type of details needed.

I can make calls but cannot receive calls. The message when trying to call my number
is that my call has been forwarded to an automatic voice messaging system.

This is vague. Provide as much detail as you can regarding your situation if you want an accurate response.

did you just join PM and requested porting your number into PM ?
If you are porting your number, did you reply a text to your old provider and reply YES within 90 mins? If you miss that, the porting was not completed and hence you are not receiving incoming calls. There is a number you can call to talk to live support and re-trigger the process. I will message you the number, please check your Community inbox, envelope icon on top right
if you are not new to PM, incoming calls and text were working fine before and just not working now, try to :
- reboot your phone once.
- reseat your sim card (Power down the phone, take sim card out for a minute, then put it back and power up)
- change your Preferred Network Type or Network Mode on your phone to 3G Only (or WCDMA)
- if you have another phone, put your sim card in that other phone and test
- use your phone in another area, it could be a local network issue
