Does anyone know if this phone will work on Public Mobile?

@dabr you are right.. i think this is the post you are referring

Oukitel C17 - Community (publicmobile.ca)

I think in fact, any other vendor SIM might work.. but the person with the issue did try to use a Freedom SIM and got it working

I seem to have tried everything and the apn cannot be changed from Telus to PM. Did you have this issue as well? If so, how did you get around it?

While the APN setttings not being correct would cause data not to work, they aren't related to text messaging. This means that there is also some other type of issue, whether it's an account issue or an issue with the SMSC setting.

@tavesone is your APN showing sp.mb.com?

@tavesone I don't remember all the details, but I believe I have read some older posts suggesting to try a Freedom Mobile SIM (maybe borrow one from a friend or even an old used FM SIM should work) and insert it into your phone which allows you to edit the APN settings. Some users also have recommended to contact moderators and ask for an APN configure file.

Hopefully, other users will be able to offer you more suggestions too.

Meanwhile if you want to contact moderators click this link and follow prompts to submit a ticket: https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html or send a private message to Moderator_Team here: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
