My phone stopped working today. My bills are paid. I cannot make or receive calls or access voicemai

I need help, I submitted a ticket and have spent hours trying to fix this but it makes no sense. The phone it self is fine and I tested the sim card in another phone and I still cant make or receive any calls. This is really stressful as I am missing very important calls and have no idea what is going on.

@izzybee  Hopefully service is back. Going forward see if the post offers some ideas to reduce your risk for any future outages with any carrier you select: Solved: 100% SERVICE - Community (publicmobile.ca)

I guess this issue isn't as resolved as public mobile thinks? If you all have mobile data working or at least access to wifi you should download a voip provider like TextNow or fongo so you can at least make phone calls while you await word from customer support on a fix.

 

Do you all have VoLTE enabled phones? This is where the calling issue stems from.

  • My whole family, 5 lines all have the same message and possibly two other family members I haven’t checked with yet, all have the same message when they try to make a call. “You do not have an active plan”.

I'm getting the same message when I try to make calls. At first the calls just failed but now I'm getting this message which is upsetting because I know I'm paid up.

I get an email indicating that I have a message waiting for me. I'm not sitting around the internet waiting for a response. But to be fair, you are technically correct. I should have clarified.

Hi, I can't make calls. It keeps saying "we cannot complete your call since there is no active plan in my account", even though my online account indicates "active". When other people try to call me, they also hear the same message "no active plan in my account".  This is totally unacceptable, why would you tell everyone who tries to call me that I don't have an active plan in my account, even when my account is active.

This could be related to the outage the last few days for some members but it should have been resolve yesterday or maybe not.

Only option is to have a CS_Agent look into it for you guys.

Unfortunately, staff hours are 6:00am to 10:00pm EST so the will get back to you in the morning so keep your eyes on the envelope icon above.

I have submitted a ticket but I really hate that you can't talk to someone. You have to wait for an email reply. I have three bars on my phone so I do have a signal but when I dial a number it just hangs up. I don't have another phone so I can't make a call and the person I want to call (my mother) doesn't use email.


Public Mobile's customer support agents don't usuallyu contact customers by e-mail.  Customers need to come into Community and check for a private message.

I used incognito mode to check my status. it is active. 

 

For your second link: what is IMEI? How can I find mine?

 

 


 

The IMEI is an identifier for your device.  It can be viewed by dial *#06# or from your device's settting menus.

@josue64- I have better luck using the pin option rather then the login option (after logging in again with the community login).

like the other person. I'm all paid up. I have set up automatic payment and I never go over my data. This sucks. I just had this problem on Thursday.

@josue64   Text and data work and just not voice?

 

Please open ticket with PM Support agian with your issue.

@xuxy0919   it could be a different issue.  Check My Account first using Incognito mode and make sure account status is Active

 

Check if your phone is clean here

Also, check if your PM sim card works on another phone
