If your phone isn't a Canadian model, Public Mobile wans't the place of purchase, at least not officially. It's possible that some Pubilic Mobile dealers were selling third-party sourced phones (grey market). However, Public Mobile can only assist you if you phone is Telus-locked.

You say your phone is not a Canadian model but purchased from PM? PM doesn't sell phones and if they did, they would sell Canadian models.
PM sold phones during the transition from Public Mobile's original network to Telus.

@Nathaniel2002, I had my Samsung S7 unlocked by Samsung Canada. I went to the canadian support site, and used the chat feature. The Samsung rep gave me my unlock code immediately. I don't know if they do it for all models, but it is worth a try if you are having problems with the provider.

Where did you originally purchase your phone? I believe PM will only be able to unlock phones that were purchased from Telus/Koodo.
