Hi,
I transferred my phone to public mobile 24 hours ago and I’m still not receiving any calls nor any text messages. I’m wondering what I should do because I turned off airplane mode and made sure I’m not on do not disturb.
Thank you!

It seems the porting was not successful, you need to make sure that you keep the older sim live to receive the porting confirmation SMS from your existing provider and must reply YES atmost within an hour.
If this didn't happen try to put up the porting request again with Public mobile.

@youfar1 If you have activated a new account and transferred over from another provider, note that incoming calls are usually the last to port over.
When the incoming calls stop on the previous provider’s SIM card and/or landline/voip account, that is a good indication the port is complete.
If still issues, 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.

A critical part to porting is to receive a text from your old provider and reply YES within 90 mins. Did yiu got the text and did yiu reply?? Sound like you might have missed the step and hence porting was not completed
There is a number to all to talk to live support and the can re-trigger the process for you. I will message the number to you via the Community inbox. Check the envelope icon on top right. Call them and get it fixed
