@Lucia2  

If you have activated a new account and transferred over from another provider, note :

  • Cell ports can take 2-3 hours. Use the previous provider's SIM card to receive the porting transfer text for approval to port to port over to Public Mobile and to receive calls from until port is complete.
  • Landline/voip ports can take 3+ days. Expect a mix of services on the landline and Public Mobile SIM card until port is complete.

 

Did you cancel your previous provider's services before the porting was complete? If so, you will need to reactivate with the previous provider to allow to port the number over to Public Mobile. Some exceptions to this rule is if the previous provider was either Telus or Koodo (as Telus owns both Koodo and Public Mobile).

 

If still issues, submit a ticket with Public Mobile representatives (CSA) for help with porting and/or issues with new activations; click this link: to request the transfer of your number over to Public Mobile.

Have you tried your sim card in another phone? This will tell you if it's a phone problem or a SIM card problem.

Is your phone unlocked? Have you tried rebooting phone, resetting network settings, reinstalling SIM card?

You just activated your pm sim card but it did not provision correctly to your account. If so contact customer support and put " SIM card not provisioned upon activation" in the subject line and leave a detailed message explaining the issue.

 

Keep an eye on the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top right corner of your screen for a little number to pop up indicating a reply from a CSA. Responding promptly will speed up service times but expect a reply within an hour.
