Looks like several customers have outage issues the last few hours. Unfortunately, may need to wait for repair. See some of the other recent threads.
As for the Android phone, it is likely locked to previous carrier. You will need to contact carrier to get unlock code.

@kitten1979 : LOL No!. It's working for me way out here in the west in BC. Jeez people. It's some kind of technical outage. These things happen. They're never convenient and rarely announced as a planned outage. Get a grip. Use a copper landline or payphone or voip.

both mine and my dad's phones have no service. I checked my sim card number it matches the one in my account so I hope its not sim swap fraud?

Hi All,
I am having same issue even on restarting phone comes back I m unable to see anything next to my network strength for sure there is something wrong in their network affecting all consumers.

Exciting it’s working again for some.
I just restarted my phone with no luck. In Kitchener

I am using public mobile with last 2 years. For last 30 mins I am getting No Service in my apple 6 phone with public mobile sim. I am in Mississauga Square One area. Any issue in connectivity ?

I tried that- no luck 😞
02-24-2021 05:00 PM
Did public mobile shutdown or bankrup
Anyone know?

I live in Millbrook, Ontario and also do not have service. It hasn't been working since 4:30pm
02-24-2021 05:00 PM
Getting no service on my iPhone out of the blue today.
Popped the Sim into my android and it kept asking me for an Sim unlock code.
I tried 1234 didn't work.
Popped it back into my iPhone and got 1 bar momentarily before getting no service again when I tried to make a call.
02-24-2021 05:00 PM
I can't text or call. No service it says on my phone at the top. Sometimes it says Public Mobile but there are zero bars. Never had this happen.
02-24-2021 05:00 PM
I am getting no network either
02-24-2021 05:00 PM

2 lines in Ottawa, one was offline completely one kept working. Can't call each other but can call other non-PM numbers (they're probably non-Telus too).
Telus outage page cited in post 3 of this thread says "Failure of Wireless Services in Eastern Canada, Start Time: February 24, 4:21 PM, Last Updated: February 24, 4:36 PM"

Looks widespread across Canada. But my daughter has service and we’re in same household?

Service is back just now in Richmond Hill and Maple, Ontario.
02-24-2021 04:53 PM
Any one experiencing that you cannot call. What number do I need to call to?
02-24-2021 04:53 PM
but no completely widespread outage, same house, I have no service but my daughter does.
02-24-2021 04:52 PM
I have no service either in Kawartha Lakes, Ontario... shows empty bars
02-24-2021 04:52 PM
yeah no service to us too!
02-24-2021 04:51 PM
Public Mobile thinks I’m in the US and flips between NO SERVICE or AT&T. I can’t call or text as I don’t have a US plan. I’ve shut down my phone, put it on airplane mode, removed and reinstalled my SIM and NOTHING!!! Are there current issues?
I need my phone for work, so I’m not a happy camper right now.

My phone stopped working today and said no service for 3 hours. Terrible timing as I was in the middle of interviews. This is TERRIBLE SERVICE Public mobile. I spent a long time trying to get help with chatbots that do not work.
There was no reason for this. All of a sudden it just turned back on.
I am very disappointed in this
02-24-2021 04:50 PM
Can’t just be eastern Canada. I’m in Winnipeg and all 3 PM lines here have no service
