No text messages

[BBark]

• Hi, it has been a week since I ported my number to PM. I had to pay for the subscription twice to get it active and once it became active, text messages was not working. I submitted two tickets 1 week ago about the double charge and text messaging not working. Another ticket was submitted a few days ago about the text messaging issue, but I have still not seen or heard any response from any of the ticket requests. Any advice on what can be done to fix the texting issue?

Are you able to receive calls on your new PM account?  If you are able to receive calls on your PM number, it is not a porting issue.  But, an account setup issue with SMS text problem which requires CSA help.

I'm having this same issue right now.  Ported my number over, my phone reports the correct number, and it works for calling and data.  Texting does not work though.  I can't even confirm my account and get into the app since it wants to send a confirmation code and that doesn't work.

Public Mobile has been having issues with text messaging services for new customers.  From what I've been reading, this is only something that Public Mobile can fix at the account level.  As it's been a week, please submit another ticket.
