@samueltsung  - sounds like you ported over a number to Public Mobile and the port did not complete...if it was a cell number you transferred over.

 

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port.

Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

 

If you ported from a landline it could take up to 7 days to complete.

 

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services. Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

 

See helpful info. here: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/port-fraud-protection

 

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...

 

OR, Check your Private INBOX messages, I have sent you the TELUS Porting phone number.

some steps to test...

 

If your phone is on 'do not disturb' then it ll do that.

If you have recently ported your number in and porting didnt go through as expected then It will do that. 

Call forward enabled?

@samueltsung 

Did you ask to port in your number then?

If so, contact PM for troubleshooting:

@samueltsung 

do you getting a new number or you did Transfer old number to public mobile,

 

if you did Transfer do you get a SMS message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to Transfer your number. Your reply should be: YES.

 

if you did reply: YES and you still stuck with Transferring your old Phone Number and 

you need go to my OP instruction how to Customer Support Agent..

Did you check to see if the Do Not Disturb is disabled?

@samueltsung 

did it just start having this problem today and worked before?  or you have the issue since joining (not sure if you are new PM customer or you just joined)

 

did you know if the issue (cannot receive calls and calls go to VM) usually happens when you are at a specific place? Home? work?  Which city and province you are at?

ok, a few more things to try like:

- Reseat your SIM card or switch the card with another good working phone

- Reset network settings.
