If you've asked for a number porting, then open a ticket with PM via:
If Not, try these suggestions one at a time:
- Reboot phone.
- Reseat your SIM card or better yet, try it in another phone and see how it goes.
- Check your APN settings.
- Reset network settings.
- Check for updates of phone system/carrier settings...
If you've created your self-serve account, log in and check if data shows up under My Data & Add-Ons of the first page.
If nothing works, there might be a SIM issue and you'll need to contact CS for help:

As you are able to make calls then Re-seating of the SIM and resetting of network settings might fix it. Based on your phone model.. follow steps for setting up 3G and APN settings.

@pthorne Incoming calls have issue likely because the porting has not been completed yet, either because of the PAT (Porting Authentication Text) not completed or PM needs as many as 2 hours after the PAT received.
for Data issue. If you are using an LG, you will likely have to do a Network Reset
If you are on iPhone, download the latest Carrier profile either via Wifi or use a Computer with iTune.

@pthorne : The data part should work. You might need to manually adjust APN settings if it's an Android phone.

I also want to confirm that you can make calls ?
but no data?
No data would be a APN issue. You might need to reboot your phone again to have them APN settings come down or manually reset it. May I know what brand and model is your phone?

Did you just port your phone over to PM ? Try rebooting your phone.

@pthorne you just activated and requested porting your old number to PM? If so, did you reply a text from your old provider approving the porting of the number? You need to reply that text within 90 minutes. After you done that, it will work within 2 hours, you just need to keep reboot your phone every 30 mins for update
if you missed the text, there is a number you can call to have them re-trigger the process, I will message you the number. Please check your Community inbox , envelope icon on top right
