cannot receive incoming calls

[GarrettSali]

Hi, I just got a used phone (it is unlocked) and bought a SIM card and set it all up myself. When people call me, they get a 5UV1 message stating that the account is not set up for incoming calls. I can make outgoing calls no problem though! I have done a lot of trouble shooting - tried the sim card in my dad's phone (didn't work) put Dad's sim card in my phone (it worked)...so it isn't the phone that doesnt work- its the SIM card! - ....powered the phone down and back up. So, I set up a "ticket" but have not heard back yet - Any help would be great !

or do you did porting your old number to Public Mobile. do you receive SMS from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to port your number. Your reply should be: YES.

Have you done a Reset Networks Settings?

Also check if the phone needs any updates.

If it's really a SIM activation  issue, you'll have to wait for CSA help.
