Trust me I have always been one of the most vocal about being transparent. When you pretend nothing is happening, it normalization of deviance.

realistically, all service provider will try to bring up the service ASAP , so asking for ETA is not very useful
but of course, yesterday was not good, PM didn't make an announcement here.
08-20-2024 01:17 PM
The dropped call problem was on and off for many months. Generally customers got nothing. The ToS has problems like this covered.
08-20-2024 12:40 PM
Great question. I found the disruption challenging and it would have been good to have been notified this was going to happen and how long it would be.
08-20-2024 12:34 PM
for most service provider, a one day interruption like that, they won't do much., especially you still have data , text.
But you can still ask. Just open ticket with PM using the Orange Chatbot icon on the lower right. Type the question Submit ticket and select Contact Us to get to ticket open screen
or message them using this link:

not sure if they will do. We are just customers, so, best to check with PM support agent directly, and share their answer
please submit a ticket with CS Agent using this Chatbot link: https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/publicmobile/publicmobile.html Type the question "Submit ticket", Then click the following in order: "Contact Us" , "Other", "Log In".
If any issue with ticket submission, you can submit by direct message:

Is PM going to issue a refund or some other compensation for loss of service yesterday for outgoing calls to all the customers who experienced this? I have asked Customer Service several times and the question has been ignored. For those of us who are faithful customers who keep their payments up to date, it would be a meaningful and appreciative gesture from PM. Come together Community and let's ask in numbers. Because the issue is fixed doesn't mean the question should be ignored in the hope it will go away.

@Dianabeee you tested and does it work this morning? remember to reboot the phone first.
08-20-2024 09:11 AM
Yay, tried my phone this morning and it is working for outgoing calls again.
08-20-2024 03:24 AM
that's been an ongoing problem for many Public Mobile customers today. Seems to be a network upset and we can only hope they fix it ...eventually. Hang in there.

On Vancouver Island no outgoing calls all day and still the same issue at 11 pm. Will this be fixed tomorrow?
08-20-2024 01:22 AM
I still cannot make outgoing calls. Been 36 hours.
08-20-2024 01:13 AM
i cannot make a call. Can receive incoming calls, swnd amd receive messages
08-20-2024 01:08 AM
My husband and I have the exact same phones, both deal with PM, and he can call out and everything is working for him, I how ever can't call out.
08-20-2024 12:17 AM
Cannot make outgoing calls. Why?
08-20-2024 12:11 AM
It's now 10pm and I still can't call out!
08-20-2024 12:09 AM
I put in a ticket at 8am and have received zero help or response😡 It is now 10pm. Very poor customer service.
08-19-2024 11:44 PM
@Mitos there was an outage earlier. Some might be fixed while others still experiencing issues.
Try to restart your phone and see what happens.
If still not working you can continue to wait for everything to be back up and running or use the orange chatbot to create a ticket to public mobile.
08-19-2024 11:42 PM
@Leviwalker777 known outage affecting many. hopefully it will be back up and running soon
08-19-2024 11:22 PM
same problem in BC
08-19-2024 11:16 PM
I am on 4G network. I can receive and text out. But, can not call out or receive phone calls. What's the fix?
08-19-2024 11:15 PM - edited 08-19-2024 11:20 PM
What's going on?
08-19-2024 11:10 PM
Weird…probably best to enter a ticket as pet slusagm’s suggestion below
08-19-2024 11:05 PM
I am also in BC and put in a service ticket. I have received one reply and responded. Now I am waiting for further communication. I presume they are pretty busy with everyone that is having this problem.
08-19-2024 11:05 PM
Many Reboots. Still not working. I can send and receive texts. I can receive calls but not make calls.
I think something missed in the billing. My auto renew was today. My account shows data is okay but my call minutes is at minus two. My international texts are at minus one. Very odd.
08-19-2024 11:03 PM
I also live in BC and am having the same problem.
08-19-2024 10:52 PM
some said the issue is resolved and they can make and receive now. Telus also removed the outage note. Try reboot the phone, try your sim in another phone if possible. If still cannot make calls or receive, ask PM to check.
open ticket with PM using the Orange Chatbot icon on the lower right. Type the question Submit ticket and select Contact Us to get to ticket open screen

I still can't either. I'm in BC. Been over 12 hours now.
08-19-2024 10:44 PM
i am having same issue and live in BC.
