Public Mobile please address why a lot of people can't receive phone calls and texts. Many have left messages on these forums as well as support chats and still no response.

 

We are currently unable to submit a support ticket as its showing an error. This is day three. Not impressed. We will be contacting the Better Business Bureau if we get no response.

@MikaDiesel2021   Did you try the change network to 3G only trick? 

 

how about the ticket to put your SIM to another phone, it should work on another phone.  Then move the SIM back to the original phone.

 

Both methods should resolve your issue.

Know issue for the last few days.  Getting a new SIM card will unlikely solve the issue.  Try to manually select the 3G network on your phone.  Or put the SIM card in another working phone.  We will need to wait for PM response.

@SoG  glad it works.  Yes, 3G might not be the best, but it's better than no incoming calls or texts

Just switched to 3G and restarted phone...seems to be working for now!! 🤞🤞

Thank-you!

Same problem here since yesterday (Sept 10th)...so annoying and really problematic! 

Hoping to find a solution soon!

Tried updating, reinstalling app, shutting down phone, nothing works. I'm assuming this a problem with PM or their cell providers (Telus i think)? I'm in Ottawa Ontario...not sure if the problem is everywhere?


 

@SoG , but did you try   changing the network  to 3G Only?   or try a second phone to see if it works?  Apparently these 2 workarounds could solve the issue

Add my voice to the cacophony of users having problems.  For me it is only receiving SMS or MMS texts.  I can send them but they go very slowly, they eventually get sent.  But nothing arrives.  Occasionally, I'll get a burst of texts all at once, most are 6-12 hours old.  This isn't impacting phone calls, nor is it impacting iMessage.

you meant the issue with Unable to receiving incoming calls and texts?  But many reported that they did reboot the phone and  rebooting didn't resolve the issue.

Be sure to include the info below to verify your account to be able to cut down on your wait time for a CSA to reply....currently about 4 hours at last report by a user.

 

Send a private message...   Contact the CSA's (formerly moderators) by sending a private message and leave a detailed message explaining your issue and the info to verify your account by including the following information:  

 

  1. Full name and address on pm account. ( Or province and postal code for newer accounts.)
  2. Email, phone # and pin #.

 

If  you cannot remember your pin # include at least three ( if they apply)of the following:

 

  1.  Date of birth (n/a on newer accounts.)
  2. Last payment, date, amount, type and last 4 digits.
  3. Alternate phone number if any.
  4. Security question and answer.
  5. Plan amount, any add ons or promos on account.
  6. Last 4 digits of sim card.
  7. Any rewards in your account.
  8. Autopay y/n?
  9. Account #.
  10. Frequently called/texted phone numbers in the last 30 days.  

 

The average wait time is 2 to 4 hours but be prepared to wait up to 48 hours for non urgent requests. Current wait times are about one hour and are probably even less as I have had some very quick responses in tne past week.

 

Keep an eye on your private message box the envelope icon next to your avatar for a little number to pop indicating a message from the CSA's (formerly moderators.) Responding promptly will speed up service times.

 

 Do not post any of this info in the community only in your private messages when communicating or contacting the Moderator_Team.
