New account - can't recieve calls they go directly to voicemail! Ported number from 711 Speakout

I activated my Public Mobile account on Fri Nov 15 2019. Signed up for the $15 plan.

Creating my account and activating online was easy and I originally obtained a number from Public Mobile before I ported my prepaid 711 Speakout number as I was advised to do.

 

So my PM account was successfully activated and I ported my old number over instantly online but I can only send and receive texts and make calls but cannot receive them, when others call my number it goes straight to voicemail where they hear a message saying voicemail has not been set up. This is strange because I definitely set up voicemail and can access it from myy phone as well.

 

So this is my problem, I cannot receive calls but texting is working.

After messaging the moderators and sending them the IMEI of my phone my issue was resloved.

 

I received a text message from public mobile at 3:52 PM advising me that my number has been successfully ported.

 

I tried calling my number from another phone and my phone rang. Its now working!

I did not need to submit IMEI as there was no option to on the form.

I also did not submit a 4 digit PIN as I never used one.

 

When I tried to input the serial number field it would insta delete the data I entered.

 

I messaged the moderators but am not sure if this is the same thing as opening a ticket. I did not recieve a ticket number.


The equipment serial number is the IMEI #.  

You may have send a private message to moderator.  That is fine.  But it may take longer to get a reply as moderator will work on the private messages with the ticket # on the subject first.

I received a text message from Public Mobile this morning telling me to visit

publicmobile.ca - "click contact us and complete the SIM and Activation online form"

 

I visited the site but don't see a "contact us" option. I can navigate my way to

https://activate.publicmobile.ca/

but am not sure if I should attempt to reactivate from this page or not.


The interpretation of that message is that the port/transfer didn't work.

Your number port have not completed yet.

Create a moderator support ticket using the ? button at the right side bottom corner of this page.
Keep asking SIMon to "contact human" for one or more times. SIMon will eventually show you the "Submit a ticket" button. Click on submit button to get the create ticket screen.
Moderator wait time is up to 2 days.
