Issue Resolved. 
Issue occured during port in .. looks like IMEI entered was incorrect. PM needed current providers account number. They helped resolve the issue over the call..  Thanks everyone!!

Yes, I did..  I am able to make outbound calls from PM and able to see my number I requested to port.. but unable to receive incoming call on PM..

Able to receive incoming call on FIZZ (old provider).. it's still active with the same number.

Trying port request again on PM app, it's not working,  saying not a valid number

Please rember that I do not work for Public Mobile. When trying to perform the port again, the system will not allow that when there is already an open request.

@dravi  Did you leave old providers sim in the phone to reply YES to the confirmation text to port ? Have you tried the PM SIM card in the phone ? For incomming and outgoing calling text and data work ? Have you tried rebooting the device ?

The number still working at the old provider usually means that porting was either was not successful or hasn't completed. There are some rare exceptions of porting being completed but the old carrier "forgetting" to cut off the service, but that's extremely rare.  On that note, when the Public activation and self serve systems give an on screen message about "successful" number porting, that doesn't actually mean any porting success.  It only means that the request has been received.

Did you reply to a text message from the old carrier to authorize the number porting?
