Incoming Calls Go Directly to Voicemail; No Automated SMS

I have been with Public Mobile since mid-December 2021. Have not received any incoming calls. Automated SMS also does not work. Have rebooted the phone, shut the phone off, removed the SIM, re-installed the SIM, toggled Airplane mode on and off. No numbers are blocked, DND is not on...

Phone is a HUAWEI P30Pro which I have had for two years...

@jeffmccrea  - mid-December, wow, i hope you were not in desperate need of your service on your phone. Sorry to hear this has been going on.

 

If this is not a porting issue, can you try and rule out a phone problem, but trying your SIM card into another compatible phone to see what services work?

 

If they work in another phone, than try it back in your P30Pro and perform a reset of the device's network settings.

How to reset network settings
  1. From the home screen, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Wireless & networks.
  3. Tap Mobile network.
  4. Tap Access Point Names.
  5. Tap the options symbol.
  6. Tap Reset to default. The network settings have been reset.

 

If the SIM does not work in another phone, contact Customer Support (CSA) to get this straightened out.

@jeffmccrea   if this is indeed a stuck port (porting request didn't complete), you might not need to open ticket with PM

 

Depends on the stage of the porting,you might either just need to call the porting support to reinitiate the port , or if it has been over a month since you joined, you might just need to request Change number at My Account.

 

Let us know if you did request porting and if your old SIM still receive calls and we can advise accordingly

@jeffmccrea  When you switched over to Public Mobile in December. Did you bring your number from another company or selected a new one?

 

Sounds like you brought one over and the port is stuck. When you transfer your number you have to leave old sim in your phone and old provider needs to be active. They send you a text to verify that it is your porting the number over and you have to reply yes to the text. 

 

In any event you will have to contact support for assistance.

 

Contact customer service agents.

@jeffmccrea   were you request porting your old number from another provider?

 

If so, can you put your old SIM from your previous provider  back into a phone and see if the old SIM still working and can receive call on your old SIM?
