Please do not advise customers to go to a store for assistance with the service. Since Telus purchased Public Mobile, retail locations have never been equiped to provide assistance to existing customers in any form (other than for identification confirmation/account ownership proof issues). In additional, there are no longer any Public Mobile stores or dealers.

There are extra steps depending on which number.
As the service isn't working, whether the customer has a new number or asked for a number to be ported in wouldn't make a difference.

@Blazingleopard Were you successfully charged for the SIM card activation and choice of plan?
As @Yummy also asked, is your account status Active? Log into your My Account to check the status.

@Blazingleopard you are new PM customer and not replacing old sim card with new sim card, right?
It could be just a sim card provisioning issue. Would be an easy fix for PM support, you just need to open a ticket with them:
1. If you have access to My account: At https://publicmobile.ca/chatbot.
Start by typing "Submit a ticket", then click "Contact Us", Then click "Other", then click "Click here to submit a ticket ↗"
2. If you don't have access to My Account or have trouble with Chatbot: Private message CS Agent at:
https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437
**Monitor your Community inbox (envelope icon on the top right) after the ticket is opened. CS Agent will reply you there

Did you open self-serving account?
If yes, what foes it say? Is it Active?
Did you get welcome message from PM after opening account?
Does anything work at all? SMS/call/internet?
Can you try your SIM in another phone?
