@adamshaker  - if all troubleshooting is failing, contact Customer Support to check on the activation. Two ways to contact them hereL https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/contact-an-agent

HI @adamshaker   you said it connects to the network, so, it shows Public Mobile on top ?  and how many barrs of signal?

 

what is the brand and what is the model of your phone?

 

If it is an LG, you will need to perform a Network Reset  , in some case , even a Factory Wipe. 

 

Do you have a second phone to test the PM SIM

 

@adamshaker 

 

Try this. In self service choose lost/stolen. Suspend your service and then log out. Log back in after 1 minute and resume your service. Reboot your phone.

Can you put your sim in another unlocked phone to see if it works?

@adamshaker  if you activated with a new number services should be pretty much immediate.

Rare times it just take a little bit to getting going....

 

Try one or more of the below:

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

*Is your phone locked? Contact your previous provider to unlock it for you. You will need your imei number, dial *#06# to get it.

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

 

Can you try the SIM into another phone to see if services work?

HI @adamshaker 

First of all , do you see it connected to the PM network at all?   It should show on top of the phone  the network signal.

 

IF it connects, test outgoing calls first, then test incoming calls  and then Mobile Data , and let us know if they work

 

If it does not connect at all, will be a problem with SIM provision.  Please open ticket with PM Support

Any messages on your phone? Can you confirm your cc was charged? Are you porting a number in? Is your phone unlocked?
