@beattym  - sounds like a failed port. Did you transfer a cell number over to Public

Hmmm. How come? OP mentioned it worked for a couple of hours. How port can stop working? Just curious - want to learn...

---

@HALIMACS @Meow  - one possibility could be, that, the previous provider's account was cancelled before the port completed. This would have interrupted the porting process and likely caused a stuck/failed port.

But really, until more details is shared from the OP, these are just stabs in the dark here.

It may be possible, @Meow 

Perhaps the OP had limited functionality (or perhaps was utilizing iMessage/chat in the period afterwards, and not SIM features such as SMS or calling???)

You might be correct. If one has 'normal' mobile phone there would be no issues like apple's stuff imessage or similar.

Let see how this develops and what is the problem.

If they didn't reply YES to the port authorize request, the may have never completed porting.

Perhaps @esjliv could elaborate further?

IF so, you need to respond to an text from your old provider to approve the port.

If issues porting or transferring a number to Public Mobile, and it has been over the allotted time it usually takes to complete, submit a ticket here for help: https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/chatbot.html?botId=ZJkWuVb7Hp6EEcTIZKMZbvLwuDV&duid=1ml7MK2dvkmM37lFcEM...

FYI - I will also private message you the Porting Phone Number, this can restart the porting process as well for you, or if it is stuck you can inquire here. CHECK YOUR Inbox,

If this was a new number activation try one or more of the below:

*turn off your phone, leave off for a few minutes, then reboot

*removing your SIM, then reinserting it

*go into airplane mode, then going back to regular mode

*reset network settings on your device

*Check if your phone is blacklisted here: https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

Yes it is compatible, as are virtually any iPhone products released for the North American Market.

As far as your service, try logging in to self serve to see if the account status is "Active"
