Hello @PugMom , Did you use the mobile app to activate the service and transfer your number from Telus? Did you activate with an eSIM or physical SIM? What phone number do you see in your online account with Public Mobile (MyAccount)?
During the activation process with a number transfer, you would have to (with the old Telus eSIM/SIM still installed) answer a text message sent from Telus to confirm that you want to port your number out to Public Mobile. Once you reply with 'Yes' to that text message, your phone should show no signal and Emergency calls only. At that point, you would switch to your new Public Mobile eSIM/SIM, and should have service with your transferred number. Typically, this all happens within minutes, not days (exception would be transferring a landline number from Telus, which could take a few days, but you'd still have service with a temporary number in the meantime).
I have included a link below to send a private message to a Customer Support Agent, since the 90-minute window for sending that 'Yes' text has long since passed. They will need to re-initiate the port if it didn't complete successfully. A Customer Support Agent can also assist with linking your MyAccount and Community profiles (if they aren't already), so that you can access both with the same login.
