Thanks all. Will update when back at home on wifi. Mine totally worked fine. I’m happy with mine ( he wasn’t impressed no calling on his.) He was able to call USA from Canada no prob.

Oh yeah the phone definitely needs to be updated. The software version is from 2022 and VoLTE was enabled on Public Mobile in 2023.

@computergeek541 T-Mobile in the US does not have any type of 3g/UMTS/HSPA network.
Yes but they do have 2G in spots and a couple of people on here said the were able to connect with non-VoLTE phones by choosing 3G in the settings, which makes it sound like at least some phones might switch down further? It was worth a try anyway.
@Tonytracy For VoLTE to work on PM roaming the ios needs to be at minimum ios16. A non-VoLTE phone can only connect to T-Mobile's 2G network in the USA because, as @computergeek541 noted, there is no longer any 3G there. The phone will be fine for voice calls in Canada as 3G has not (yet) been shut down here but for US it needs to be updated.

@Tonytracy , it seems like the phone that is not working is having issues with VoLTE. Please confirm the settings using this link. Toggle airplane mode or reboot phone to establish a new network connect and see if that helps.

There is no 3G in the United States so that certainly won't work.

@Tonytracy Does he have data roaming turned on when making calls (I note that you said data works but some turn it off)? Make sure also that if there is a VoLTE toggle that it is turned on.

Is T-Mobile the only network available in the area? I would try turning off automatic network selection in cellular settings and manually selecting AT&T or Verizon if you can.
