Hello I am a new public mobile customer as of a couple weeks ago. My question is why do my incoming calls immediately get sent to my voicemail? I can receive calls just fine. I have visited a cellular retail store and covered all basic reset options. Device reset/network reset etc. looking for assistance.
thank you,

@Kevkeeping - have you checked your device's settings to ensure:
1 - DND (Do not disturb) has not been accidentally enabled, OR
2 - is your calls set to receive from contacts only listed in your phone?
Depending on the model of your phone, open your device's Settings app.
Tap Sound, then Do Not Disturb preferences, then Priority only allows.
Set Calls to From contacts only and adjust any other preferences for this mode to your liking.

Does your phone show Public as the carrier?
If it does, try rebooting your phone by powering off the phone then wait a few minutes then powering on the phone.

do you get a SMS message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to Transfer your number. Your reply should be: YES.

Hi @Kevkeeping are the incoming calls go to your PM voicemail? Just want to confirm it wasn't a porting issue and your incoming calls still going to voicemail with your old carrier
did you try to change your network setting to 3G Only and see if it helps?
What kind of phone do you have?

Are calls going to your pm voicemail? Or did you port in your number and not reply YES to the PAT (porting authorization text) within 90 minutes of receiving it? Check and see if your old providers account is still active if this is the case.
Otherwise it could be an issue with your phone switching from the 4G LTE network to the 3G network that pm uses for voice calls. Switching to the 3G only could resolve the issue.

When you activated, did you reply YES to the port authorization request?
You might try these options otherwise:
