@thundercat, did you try rebooting your phone?
If it's stuck at the porting process, contact Public Mobile to troubleshoot the issue. Sometimes, all it takes is to either:
1) turn airplane mode on/off
2) reboot your phone
3) pull the sim card out and re-insert
4) reset network settings (not factory reset)
If not, give that a shot. If that didn't work, it sounds like a stuck port of your number.
Typically a successful port request is completed in 5 min to 2 hours, so at 20 hours I think you will need the assistance of a moderator to get your account sorted out. Send them a private message clicking on this link: @Moderator_Team, provide them with your name, account number, an account number from your old provider and name on that account, PM SIM card number and an explanation of the issue and they will be able to look into the matter for you.
This happens every once in a while, usually when the info you provide isn't an exact match to what your old provider has on their records. Not a big problem, the mods will get you sorted out, just be patient after you send them a private message and await their reply.
