That's just how porting works at Public (only outgoing communications working), but what is unusal is the amount of time is taking. Porting really should be completed within a few hours.
When you port a phone number during activation, Public immediately provisions your soon-to-be-ported phone number to your arccount and sim card. So when you make an outgoing call, your familiar phone numer will show on the other end. But, at this point, the phone number has not been transfered yet. Until that time, all incoming communications will continue to go to your Fido line.
This is contrast to how Wind and Rogers/Fido handle incoming porting of numbers. They assign a new phone number and only provision the number that you port in after it is all done.
