There's definitely something up with your porting request, service, or phone compatibility.  The old carrier's service is not supposed to stop working until the number porting is complete (although I have experienced  one brief period of busy signals when trying to call my own number immediately after a previous number port).  Please follow the advice given earlier to ask the moderators about your situation.

Out of curisosity, what happens if you call your phone number?

@Hongwei  it depends on what carrier you are coming from.   sometimes 5 minutes sometimes 2 hours  or in some cases landlines longer.  your old sim should still work.  if it has been longer than a couple hours you might have a stuck port and need the mods to reinitiate the porting procedure.

you should be able make calls  and use data with your current pm sim.  your old sim should also still work.

@Hongwei, if you have done a port as part of activation, the new service should be working as the old service is terminated.  You might have a stuck port.  I suggest contacting the moderator team and have them look into your account set up.  The moderator team can be reached via private message using this link.  Refer to the following knowledge base link for information on contacting the moderator team.  Good luck and welcome to the service.
