Porting completed but SMS totally broken

My porting process was completed a month ago, but my SMS service is completely broken. I cannot even receive system messages or verification codes. This is not a device issue. I have already followed all the standard troubleshooting steps, including restarting my device and reinstalling the eSIM multiple times, but the issue remains unresolved. Your standard support team is unable to assist me further. Since you insist that the porting process completed. I have been in contact with the losing carrier, and they have officially confirmed that they have not yet received a port completion notification from your company.

My porting request is in a 'Partial Port' state. My old carrier has confirmed they are still active and waiting for a Port Completion Notification from Public Mobile.

standard agents cannot resolve synchronization issues. Please escalate this ticket to the 'Porting Team' or 'Technical Team' immediately.

I have two numbers currently being ported to PM, and both are experiencing a 'partial port' failure.

To clarify, some services have partially migrated, but the porting process is not fully finalized for either number. My old provider has confirmed that they are still holding both numbers because they have not received the formal 'Port Completion Notification' from PM.

The old provider is still active, I still receive text message at their end. I asked the old provider, they told me the porting is not complete, they still waiting port completion notification.

It's a bit interesting.  You think port is not completed? So, is your account with the old provider still active?  If it is active, then port not done.  Please check and confirm 

@1245 you removed the old sim card or disabled old esim? 

And if you are using Android, you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Message?

If you have done all above and certain not a phone issue, then ask PM to re-provision the account.    Please open ticket with PM support:
