If your account status is active,
1. Test your PM SIM card with a working phone to determine whether the issue is your phone or PM provisioning issue.
2. Adding $1 to your account may trigger PM server to provision your account again. Restart your phone and test again.

@Hyatt are you getting an emergency services only message? If you are, log into your self service account, choose the change sim card option and compare the last 4 digits to the sim in the phone. They should match. Thanks.

@Hyatt As you say you have paid in full, but have no service, you likely need assistance from the moderators.
To get a ticket click https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/ and enter your question into SIMon. Invent prompts until you get to the Contact Us button, click it and a Submit Ticket button should appear. Click it then login and pick the topic, if needed, from the drop down menu. To confirm your ticket has been submitted, check the SENT box in your private messages; click the small envelope beside your avatar at top right on your screen.
While you're waiting check out the workarounds already suggested and in this post: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Paying-for-your-service/SOLUTION-My-plan-has-enough-f...
Just in case response is very slow and the workarounds fail, engage a backup plan. Mine is using fongo.com over wifi, but I think Textnow is currently slightly better as they include SMS.
If you encounter problems submitting a ticket, you can send a private message to Moderators here https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437, but this alternative method may have longer response time.

Try the things that @gpixel4 suggested after you tried the ON and OFF trick with then phone. Those should take care of it.
If those do not work, you might have a problem with sim slot or maybe the sim. Can check to see in settings if the phone recognizes that a sim is in place

- check again and make sure the sim is seated correctly
- try resetting your network setting
- toggle airplane mode on/off
- reset your sim in your self serve account by enable/disable lost/stolen mode

Have you tried to power cycle your phone? Some phones require it to be turned off and then on for it to read the sim that was just reinserted
