no talk included??

[Gord110]

Just got the phone hooked up with Public.  I got the $40 canada wide talk, international text & pictures, and 4 gb of data.  Had a call went straight to mail box. Called him said my plan did not include talk.  why would i get a plan with no talk.  Tried to create an account got told the pin number was wrong.  Either way the plan has talk. How do I get this fixed

[Gord110]

I'm confused - is the original poster actually trying to port a number (which may or may not be from an old provider), or has the OP just activated a new line?

With the phone not being used for 6 months, was there another active plan in the mix, landline, VoIP, or cellular???

I'm not sure all the information to determine the action required has been presented.

Based on OP's latest response, seems like he/she tried to port a number that was cancelled 6 months ago, if this is the case, unfortunately, @Gord110 you will need to pick a new number.

to port a number you need to have an active number with your old provider.  I think you will have to do a number change in self serve and get assigned a new number.

[Gord110]

phone was on another provider until about 6 months ago..  been deactived from that provider, ie no bills no service, nothing. (ws the brother in laws)  hooked it up last Friday on Public

the phone has been out of service for over 6 months.  I did not go from one provider to another. So porting I don't think is the issue.

But has your service been inactive/not paid-up for over 6 months?

If so, that's why your old account info isn't working.

When you port a number, it has to be active.  So it could be the problem.

already done  thanks

@LEGO porting doesn't affect outbound calls, which also are not working for @Gord110.  This sounds more like an activation gltich (although to be fair there may also be porting issues--the inbound call going right to voicemail may in fact be Gord's mailbox at his previous provider).

@Gord110 if you haven't already, please do send a private message to the moderator team as has been noted, to get yourself into the queue.  Hope they fix it quickly.

@Gord110 Login to your self-serve account and verify that your plan details lists talk. If yes, something else is wrong. May be there is something wrong with port in as mentioned above?

Hi @Gord110,

I would try to restart your phone and see if that helps.

If not, you will have to contact the Moderators.

@Gord110 

Did you port your phone number recently? It is always better to continue to use your old provider until service stop working, then you know that transfer was completed and you can swap your SIM cards.

If it has been 3 hours (for mobile number) since you ported, the port is either still in the process of being completed or is stuck. Landline / VoIP numbers might take up to 10 days to port over. You will need to send a private message to a Moderator_Team, they will help to resolve your problem and will check provisioning on your account!
Here is the link: click here
In your message, please provide your name, Public Mobile account number or phone number and PIN.
Good luck! 

Contact Support hours of operation:
Monday - Friday 9AM (EDT) - 9PM (EDT) Saturday - Sunday 9AM (EDT) - 7:30PM (EDT)

You will receive a response within an hour, if you are lucky OR it might take up to 48 hours, if your luck is run out!

Apparently the Oracles are asleep. 🙂

This looks like a job for the Moderators.

Send them all the identifying information you think you provided and they should get you sorted. It might be that the promo has switched up a bit and so some transitional issues might be happening.
