I am a new customer and I thought I got the E-SIM card and transferred my current number but now I have no service and my phone says "no sim". Does it take some time or did I do something wrong?

since you have no service and no sim error, at this point it looks like a eSIM setup or eSIM provisioning issue and not related with the number porting
When you activated, dd you get to the eSIM installation step? Either the app will ask for your permission to do it for you, or you can get the QR code to install yourself.
If you missed the step to install by the app, there is a QR code in your Welcome email. Open it from a computer, or another device, then use your phone to scan it to install the eSIM profile on your phone.
Once you installed the eSIM profile, (or If you got passed that step eSIM installation step), try to reboot your phone once.
If it still does not connect and if you have another active sim on the phone, disable those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim) using the SIM Manager on the phone or simply remove the physical sim.
And make sure the one associated with PM sim and your phone number is enabled.
(On iPhone: Settings->Cellular , make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on)
Then click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work. (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.
if it still does not work, please open ticket with PM support

Hi @LexiOV
Have you checked your SIM manager or the screen of your device to if there was a Public Mobile esim?
To make sure the esim associated with Public mobile is enabled along with your phone number.
If you are using an iphone:
Once you are done, click on "Reset all Networks". This will erase your wifi network but you can easily add it after.
If you have tried all this and it is still unsuccessful, please submit a ticket with our customer support team. You can do so by using the following link:
