Number Transfer Incomplete / Service isn't working properly. NEED SUPPORT

TLDR:  I cannot send or receive text.  I cannot receive phone calls. Chatbot is useless and the ticket system is broken right now.  Might be a double post because I cannot find my other post...

Timeline and problem:

I tried to transfer my number from Virgin Mobile over to Public Mobile on Nov 28 around 2:30PM. I received at text from virgin where I replied 'YES' to continue transfer process. At 4:16PM, I received a text from Public stating 'We have not received your response to authorize number transfer. Reply 1 to this text and a NEW message will be sent to authorize the number transfer' which I did. 5+ hours have past and at around 10PM, I tried sending them a text and they did not receive it nor can I get there text or phone call. I can however still call them with no issues. It also looks like my virgin line is still active as I can still use their service with my existing number, which tells me that the number transfer and activation was incomplete. This message was written around 2:40PM which means it's been 24h since I activated this service and its not working properly.

It took me about ~2-3h going back and forth with CS_Agent.  I think what resolved the transfer issue for me was disabling Public's E-sim, send the text to virgin, call that number to make sure it went through (this is the number transfer text) and msg support that 'Everything is has gone through on Virgin's side, can you make sure Public's side is good to go.'  Once that was sorted, I re-enabled Public's E-sim, tested it and got my friends/family to confirm it was working properly.

How long did it take you to resolve? I have transferred over and I’m having the same issue. How did you know when it was resolved?

I will send you another message to call the porting team to check the status as I cannot post the number here.
