Need help. I just switched to public mobile but phone number and data is not working with eSIM.

I need help downloading the eSIM. The first time I tried downloading it it failed and asked me to contact my carrier. I keep scanning the QR code given in my email and it still gives the same error which is being unable to download the eSIM.

Shouldn't.  Did you call the number I sent you privately?

During my call with them they asked me if I wanted to cancel my plan right now as the current call with them would just end if I did that or I had the option to have it cancelled tomorrow which is what I chose as I was worried I may need some kind of phone plan to switch plans. So as of right now, from my call with them, they will be cancelling my phone plan. Is that why I may be unable to connect to public mobile?

If you ported your number your old line will automatically close.  Should be done within 4 hours. Did you get a text from koodo and replied to confirm the port with the 90 time-frame? Could be why. 

normally they respond within 1-2 hours, but lately I've seen up to 3 days .

I will send you a private message with the phone number to call the porting team to verify.

Yes my Koodo account will be active until tomorrow (and their Koodo eSIM still works, I can call / use data). I've messaged PM and I haven't heard back from them for about 20minutes now, not sure if that is normal

😐message pm they can fix it. Might have to wait abit for their response. 

By the way, is your koodo account still active?

Rebooted and it still doesn't work T_T

You should be able to disable koodo and turn on PM. If still doesn't work. Message pm. Try reboot first. Then message them

Right so I see two eSIMS. One from my previous which is labelled primary and is from Koodo the other is labelled Cellular Data and is from Public Mobile as suggested by the label when I tap into it. If I turn this on and keep Koodo's off nothing works. No phone calls or data.

I am confused. If I go into my cellular I see two eSIMS. One is labelled primary which is from Koodo as when I tap into it its title is Koodo and the other is labelled Cellular Data with its headline as Public Mobile. When I turn off the primary line nothing works. No data and no phone number and on the top right corner it says SOS ONLY.

Sometimes it could be downloaded already.  Check your sim manger to see if it's there and turn on this line. Or set to primary. 

Did you you the app?

If still not there you can contact PM for assistance.  At the link below or the support section of the app.
