Hi it may take 24 hours but it will work, if not there maybe some network changes to be done

Thanks but yes made sure it is unlocked. Resolved now. Just took longer than usual. PM gave her the free offer before they got her service transferred over.... which is unusual for them, but good!

@Ell  Ask her to restart her phone. Even if a port hasn't completed you should be able to make calls and send texts. If not, then the account has other issues and it's best to submit a ticket to PM for help.

@Ell your relative should be able to make calls and send texts from the pm SIM. Amd receeive calls/texts via the old providers SIM. Please confirm this. Thanks. Stay safe .

Here is a good place to start when you are looking at what to do after activation.

@Ell Porting from a cell carrier can take up to 3 hours for the number to fully port over. Poring from a VOIP/LANDLINE could take days. How long has it been ? If you insert the old SIM you still should be able to make calls untill it fully ports over to PM.

The port process can take a few hours...try using old sim until it no longer works...then use the PM sim.
