Texting after porting

Incredibly frustrated with Public Mobile.

Ported my number yesterday and can't receive or send any texts. Can't even get into my bank account because I need the text to log in!

SIgned up for the US-CANADA plan (50GB) as a Quebec customer, and didn't get the 10 GB bonus. PLUS I had to pay the extra $5 to download a new eSIM just to see if that was the issue.

Where are the customer service agents? This is so atrocious, I cannot believe it is associated with Telus, AND cannot believe that there is ZERO support.

sorry, I am just customer like you.

The missing data should be easy to ask back. But also check if you see any data addon under Promotion data usage on the overview page

and you can message support with both issues on the same message.  Please message them using the link above

I did use a QC credit card, and it is billing me with QC tax. I have a QC address on as well.
I have opened a ticket, but no responses whatsoever. If it is a quick fix, why can't they use a form to submit my number for the "quick fix"?
How is it that there's no 1) triaging system of urgency and 2) no one to even listen to these issues?
@softech, do you work here? Can you elevate my ticket or claim?

For Quebec plan, did you use a credit card that ties to a Quebec address?  this is what determines you are eligible for a Quebec plan

For text, PM is having problem provisioning text capability for new activations.  And if you are an iPhone user,  iMessage activation by phone number will also be impacted without a working SMS.
