Okay so i transferred my phone number from Bell to PM, then i took my old Bell SIM card out. Now the data for PM is not working. I bought the plan and it said it comes with a SIM card but i basically my data isn’t working.

I just bought a eSIM and installed it. It worked. I’m not what happen when i was making the account but i guess i had to pay for one even though it said it was free. Thank you for your help!

I’m not 100% sure 

@kybanks 

was it just data not working or everything not working (no inbound/outbound calls and texts, no data)?

did you check if PM esim installed and enabled properly?

there is a chance that the error was there because the Public Mobile esim is already installed and just not properly enabled

On Android:  Check your Sim Card Manager and see if a Public Mobile eSim is there.  If so, make sure it is enabled.  

On iPhone: check Settings > Celluar and see if the eSIM is there.  If it is, make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on

if you don't see the Public Mobile esim there, check the Welcome email, there should be a QR code for the esim for you to scan and install manually)

If the Public Mobile eSIM is there, disable or delete those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim). 
If the non-PM sim is physical, remove it.  If the non-PM sim is an esim, disable using the SIM Manager on the phone (or set as Secondary and turn off "Turn on this line" for this non-PM esim)  

Then reboot the phone and click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work.  (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetooth connections, but you just need to add them back after). Also, it is possible you have to reset it multiple times for it to work.

if it still does not work, open ticket with PM support using private message:
