Public Mobile *611 (611) issues (VIDEO)

[fixin1]

Hey, I am experiencing this issue with dialling *611 or dialling 611.

EDIT: If you see the numbers going - I couldn't record the call but any SMS received above on the screen was one of the successful tries to IVR.

@Priority - Yes, I've seen your post about that while looking at another post. It is unusual and weird. J_PM replied and it still hasn't been fixed.

2/5 times you call 611, it will either be an Aircall or hang up on you. Sometimes you'll even hear real people talking to you, it's like 611 is redirecting somewhere it shouldn't be.

I adressed this last year, and even made videos of this happening, but no one cared to do anything so it's still an ongoing and unadressed issue.

@hairbag1 - 13 mini with eSIM on here, just started occurring today.

It actually works at most times, just it is what @Priority is experiencing with some calls made.

@Chalupa_Batman - Just tried to call IVR using the 1-855-4PUBLIC using the PM phone and it worked then failed.

Also sometimes I hear faint ticking while initiating the call.

I just tried both numbers and everything is working as expected. Not sure why yours isn't. I'm using iPhone SE if that makes any diff.

@Chalupa_Batman - Oh it's ok!

It just hung up without even completing the call.

I will definitely get in touch with a CS_Agent.

@Chalupa_Batman - Thanks, it works, then doesn't. Didn't you have the same issue (You did 50 calls, right?)

I will send out a private message to CS_Agent.

I did. I think it was @Priority who suggested sending a message to a CSA to have my account manually reset. Sorry, can't remember much at the moment.

I got through. But what you have to do, as I did, reach out to a CS Agent and ask them to reset your network manually. You will need to turn off your phone from the time they ask you till the time they let you know you can reboot.

@hairbag1 - I was just going rapid like Priority's video a couple months ago. I was just looking at posts long ago.
