So now the PM Sim card works by calling out (call display shows the ported #) and data works but cannot call in and texting doesn't work. I guess it's still not "fully" ported?? I tried to ask Fido if porting is complete but they said have to ask PM.
I'm just confused how call display show ported # but still not be fully ported?? I guess I will just wait until it fixes itself? Thanks again!
As already mentioned, you will receive a text message from Public Mobile telling you that the number porting is complete when it is.
As for the outgoing call display, that's just how Telus/Public does phone number porting. They immediately assign the phone number being ported in to your Public Mobile service, even before the request has been approved. I personally don't agree with that practice because anyone can temporarily spoof your phone number (either deliberately or by accidently typing in the wrong number during the porting process) and the outgoing call display will show that phone number even if it does not belong to that person! Neither Wind nor Rogers allow that when porting in a number as they only update the outgoing call display to the ported number after the porting process is complete.
After number porting is complete, incoming calls and text messages will start working on your Public Mobile service.
