Incoming calls not working

[Edward106]

I set up my new account one day ago on my Galaxy S8. Outgoing calls work fine, but incoming calls go straight to voice-mail. Has anyone else had this issue or found a solution?

 @Edward106 : I'm confused. Are you coming? Or going? I see you're the originator of this thread and that the moderators seemed to have got you going for being here. Now you selected the solution indicating going. What are you doing?

[Edward106]

Thank you, I have submitted a moderator request

Transferring Your Public Mobile Number To Another Service Provider

To help protect our customers from fraud, Public Mobile will send you an SMS text message should we receive a request to transfer your mobile phone number to another carrier. This step is designed to protect your account by confirming if the request is genuine or fraudulent.

If you have made a request to port your number to another carrier and have not received an SMS from Public Mobile to confirm your request, please open our chatbot via this link. This will put you in touch with our moderator team who will be able to assist you.

We hope that you found this helpful! Feel free to visit this Help Article for more information.

Is there any way to restarting the porting process online? It seems as if the request to transfer my number did not go through, yet my public mobile account still exists

@Edward106...as suggested by @esjliv ...

stuff the old sim back in the phone and use it until it quits. Once the port is successful, the old sim will stop working and you can then put the PM sim to work.

Good luck.

@Edward106 if you are porting you number into PM, it is possible that it is not ported successfully as mentioned above.

If you picked new number and no porting  request,  then try to  change your network to 3G only and see if that resolves the issue.

Hello @Edward106 

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port. Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

If you ported from a landline it could take up to 7 days to complete.

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services.

Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection

If this was a cell phone port or a new phone number activation, then contact the Moderators has previously provide methods or call the Porting Team phone number, which I will private message you the phone number (which is only for PORTING ISSUES ONLY).

Hello,

I have never had this issue

Try rebooting the phone.

Re-seat the sim card.

Checked for blocked numbers.

If all fails, contact a moderator:

Good luck
