@88  That usually occurs when your phone gets blacklisted. Where did you purchase your phone from?

What is your status when you login to self serve?

Try rebooting the phone or Shutting off the phone and taking the sim out for 10 minutes, reinstall it and turn the phone back on. Anything happen just prior to receiving this message?

@88Swap your SIM card to another phone.. see if it is a phone problem or a Public Mobile issue. It could be your SIM card is not contacting correctly.. or your phone has been blacklisted if you got the phone second hand.

@hairbag1If the OP is out of minutes, it will still have service and won't default to Emergency Calls only.

Are you on the $10 plan ? If so, you've likely run outta talk minutes. Get the $5 for 500 minute add-on. You'd be able to call anywhere in Canada (while you're in Canada) for 500minutes and it rolls over until you use it up.
