If someone dials my # it goes in to VM.
Can anyone help direct me please:)
I see based on one of your messages, that you're using an iPhone 3g. iPhone 3g devices would be using a very gold version of iOS, one which I believe that you are still required to use iTunes for activation.
At the very least, you'll need to have your Public Mobile sim card inserted in the device and then connect to iTunes using the phone and the cable. You cannot just switch sim cards on these older Apple devices. The iTunes software is required to connect to an Apple server to check if the device is allowed to be used at a specific carrier.
I also believe that unlocking these type of older iPhone devices (iPhone 3g erra) that you have to do a factory reset/restore. Note that this will delete everything on the device, so make sure that you make a copy of anything that you wish to keep. After that factory reset (and assuming that Rogers had the device unlocked for you properly), then connect your phone to your computer and load iTunes. It should show a message on the computer screen saying something like "Conrgratulations, you iPhone is now unlocked" or worlds similar to that. After seeing that message, your Public Mobile sim card should work.
