First, seeking help for my relative (who isn't great at internet chat forums) who I referred to Public Mobile.
She signed up last night and is still waiting for her old number to be ported to Public Mobile. It has been roughly 12 hours and she says it still has not ported. She is on an iPhone with eSIM. She said she has downloaded the app and was able to log in. I even received a text message to confirm the referral.
Anything I can do to help her or advise her on? I see in some other replies, there's a phone number to call to help. Can a Mayor or PM mod please DM and I can share that support phone number with my relative so she can call them in the morning? Many thanks!

My relative finally informed me that her phone number was finally ported. Seems to have taken a full 24 hours. She was coming from Virgin Mobile.
Thanks for your help @hTideGnow and @BKNS27

Try rebooting her phone by powering off then back on with the PM SIM in the phone.

HI @Chops888
can she at least make outbound calls? if not, that is not a porting problem, it is a problem with the esim setup
ask her to remove the old sim card, or if the old one is esim, disable it (disable turn on this line for the old one)
on the other hand, for the PM sim card, make sure it is enable with Turn on this line and set as Primary. Then Reset network settings and it should work
if she can make outbound calls and just not receive inbound, then it is porting problem. Reboot the phone once more and test
if same, call Porting support team. I have sent you the porting support team number. Please check your Community inbox (https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/privatenotespage), check for the number and call
