iMessages not working

After porting my number over I was having issues with texts. Which are now working, but my IMessage is not working under my phone number and I contacted Apple and they said it’s a Public Mobile issue. I’ve tried resetting settings, removing SIM card, and hardboots. However, nothing seems to be working.

Old provider is no longe option, using physical public mobile SIM and not dual SIM with eSIM

Check your cellular settings on your iPhone point to the new provider instead of the old one. 

@G89  yes, this is related with your SMS issue.  Message support and they can resolve it quickly

@G89 

can you confirm if you activate with new number or port in number from another old provider?

For your SMS issue, PM is having problem provisioning text capability for new activations.  And if you are an iPhone user,  iMessage activation by phone number will also be impacted without a working SMS.

PM is working on a fix but for now, they can only resolve the issue on a case by case basis.  Please open ticket with PM support by messaging CS Agent here:

hi @G89 

Yes, if only SMS an issue, it is a PM system problem with new activation.     PM is aware of the problem and can only fix the issue one account at a time.   

Please submit a ticket with CS Agent by direct message:
