If you got a welcome message from Public. It should be ported. Try a reboot and also sometimes it takes up to 2 hours to complete the port meaning you can receive text but calls will not work.
Try reboot your phone. If you are porting an existing phone #, it may take up to 2 hours for the port to complete. If your old sim is still working, your port may be in transit.
