Trouble transferring number on new account

Looking for assistance in porting phone number - old account closed but number hasn't come over and can't receive calls now.

Also, got a warning that esim wasn't setup, but plan appears active in app.  Help?!

Thanks, needed the phone reset to have it all complete the transfer. Cheers.

@Steve187  

for porting, you are porting in from another provider?  Only number from an active account can be ported.  So, PM cannot help with that.  Please call your original provider and work out a plan with them.  Likely they have to resume your service for couple days so you can arrange port out.  Once sorted, call back PM porting team to retrigger the port.  I will send you the number to your Community inbox.  

For esim, you should be able to enable it to at least able to make outgoing calls before porting is done.

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

If you missed the step to install by the app, 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 eSIM installation step), try to reboot your phone once.  

If it still does not connect and if you have another active sim on the phone, disable those non PM sim (eSIM/Physical sim) using the SIM Manager on the phone or simply remove the physical sim.  

And make sure the one associated with PM sim and your phone number is enabled.
(On iPhone: Settings->Cellular , make sure the PM eSIM is set as Primary on "Cellular Plan Label" and "Turn on This Line" is toggled on)

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 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, please open ticket with PM support
