Can you sign into your self-serve and tell us what account status indicates?

 

@diamond_welding , also try this:

 

Log into your self service account and see if its suspended.

 

Check to see if there is an outage https://www.telus.com/en/bc/outages

 

If there isn't try manually selecting PM as your network and restart your phone. Wait 30 seconds and restart it. 

 

If this doesn't work try the lost stolen trick. From your self service account enable the lost/ stolen feature log out, wait 5  minutes, log in and take it off.

 

Log out and restart your phone.

If your service still isn't working properly then contact a moderator and ask them to reset your SIM.  Click on bubble in right lower corner, type moderator and follow the prompts, (CLICK on "Account specific question" and  "No I want a human" and "Submit a ticket")


Check your private message sent box (click on the envelope top right of your screen) to make sure the message was sent.  Also keep an eye on the envelope, the moderator answer will show up there.

SO, you can text and call OUT,  but you can't receive both texts and calls in?

 

Make sure you don't have DO NOT DISTURB.   What happens when you call your phone from another phone?   Do you go to your voicemail?  Try rebooting device, removing and replacing SIM card, resetting network connections.

 

If doesn't resolve, try placing your SIM card in another available phone to see if you can text & call out.  (to help determine if a device or SIM issue)

@diamond_welding well that is not right.  There is another customer complaining about the same thing the other day.  There must be a new glitch in the system. 

 

Read this  https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Using-Your-Service/Re-Beginner-s-Guide-to-the-Communi...

 

Also give this a try... log out of your device, delete browsing history and cache.  Log back in.  If still not working, use a different browser and go incognito.

 

or, Please contact the moderators.

Two ways to contact the moderators:

  • Faster way – Click the chat bubble at the bottom right of the page or click this link >> type “talk to human" >> "account-specific question" >> "no, I need a human now" >> Click here to submit a ticket!
  • Slower way – Send a private message to the Moderators_Team here.  You have to be logged in to your Community account for the link to work. 

 

It may take up to 48 hrs (hopefully less) to receive a reply from the moderators.  Keep checking the envelope icon on top right for a number to pop up. That would be the moderator’s reply.

 @diamond_welding : Your payment is every 30 days...not monthly. It will float up earlier and earlier in the month as the months go by. Log in and check your status and due date. Or dial 611 to check the status.

Hi @diamond_welding you should have started your own topic.  It is likely that your post may be over looked.

 

Please give us more information so we can help you better.

@Zoyee shouldn't be.  I never had an issue sending to anyone.  You should contact the moderator team as per @popping's instructions above.  But please be patient, they are extremely backlogged at the moment.

For your future reference, APN settings are only for cellular data.  They do not even have to be set for calls or text messages, which the OP is said to be having issues with.

@D45, just to let you know, there is a software bug that is affecting renewals.  This is very likely why your account did not renew properly.  In any event, the moderator team will be able to take care of the problem for you.  In the mean time because this bug is causing fairly widespread renewal problems, the moderator team response time may be longer than usual.

@D45, were you on auto-pay?  If so, when was your renewal date?  Did you just activate with Public mobile?
