New customer, sim not working

[dino7c]

Hi, I got my sim last night and ported my number over from Telus.  Everything seemed to go well but my public mobile sim is still not working 8 hours later.  No service

Have tried reset, removing sim ect.

Help, can't access my number

[dino7c]

Solved with CS help

Thanks everyone

Hey, Telus approved the port...I got the text and email.  No service is working, not even the temporary number for calls out.

@dino7c   does the phone show SOS  or No Network or SIM not provisioned?

If the sim is not connecting to the network at all, it is likely  a problem with sim card provisioning.  It is an easy fix for support, please open ticket to engage them:

1. Open ticket via Chatbot at:  https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html?lang=en
             Click "Yes, I'm a customer", then click "Sign In", once signed in, ignore the choices and type "Contact agent"
              Then click "Contact Us", and click "My Account".  Finally click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗ " and you can open the ticket

2. Or if you have trouble with Chatbot, Private message CS agent at 

                 https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened.  CS Agent will reply to you there

@dino7c 

Did you reply to the text with YES from Telus with the Telus SIM in the phone during the porting process? You have 90 minutes to reply or poting will be cancelled.

It sounds like your case. You need to submit a ticket on Start a Chat on the bottom of page or private message on a laptop or desktop to restart the porting for you but keep the Telus SIM in your phone to reply to the text. If porting wasn’t completed, it should still work.

@dino7c - did you get the text from Telus on the Telus sim to approve the port? IF not, then you'll need to do this or submit a ticket with public mobile.

Submit a ticket with Public Mobile representatives (CSA) for help; click this link for issues with transfer/porting of phone numbers over to Public Mobile.

Or, you can try calling the Telus porting phone number, which we are not supposed to post here. So, check your private messages I will send it to you there.

EDIT, actually most services should be working for you, if you activated the sim card. What about texting or data? Outgoing calls...? Incoming calls a normally last when porting.

Can you try your SIM card into another phone to see if any services work?
