Transfer troubleshooting

[Sukhpreet_01]

I have transferred my number from Fido to an e-sim public mobile with same phone number. But, I am unable to make calls and I have did the payment as well. Kindly respond.

@Sukhpreet_01 - if you didn't respond to the Fido port approval request from Fido, then your number will stay with Fido.

But as for a refund from public mobile that may be a different problem. It is a prepaid service here, so you pay first then get services. If Public can get your esim working would you stay with public?

Have you restarted your phone since you choose and paid for a public plan? You may also try a reset of the device's network settings to try and help with services.

hi @Sukhpreet_01 it is not a porting problem if you cannot make outbound calls.  Open ticket with CS Agent and they need to complete the sim activation for you

I had a similar issue. I got help from a customer service agent but they were also unable to get the service to work. Reloading the esim was the solution.

You ported the Fido number to Public Mobile? If so, did you wait for the text from Fido asking your permission to port the number? People tend to forget that step. If you missed it, put your Fido SIM back in or into another phone to get that text. You may need to call Fido to send that text again. Thoughts?

@Sukhpreet_01 the making calls issue is because the account is either not provisioned properly or the installation of the eSIM profile

Did you get to the eSIM installation step?   Either the app will ask for your permission to do it for you automatically, or you will get a QR code to install yourself. 

If you missed the step, there is a QR code in your Welcome email.  Open it from a computer, or another device, then use your phone to scan it to install the eSIM profile on your phone

Once you installed the eSIM profile, (or If you got passed that step),  try to reboot your phone once.  

If it still does not connect and if you have any active sim on the phone , disable them (eSIM/Physica sim) or remove the physical sim.  Then click Reset All Networks on your phone and it will work.  (Please note that Reset all Networks will also erase your saved Wifi and Bluetoosh connections, but you just need to add them back after)

if it still does not work, please open ticket with PM support
