Perform a Reset of your device's Network Settings, with the new SIM inside your device, upon a new activation with a cell provider.

 

If you just ported your phone number from another cell provider it could take a few hours to complete the port.

Using the other cell provider's SIM you should be still receiving calls on it, until the port completes.

If you ported from a landline it could take up to 7 days to complete.

 

Make sure you do not cancel your previous provider's services.

Incoming calls are usually the last to port over.

 

If issues porting or transferring a number to Public Mobile, and it has been over the allotted time it usually takes to complete, submit a ticket here for help: https://widget.telus.tiia.ai/chatbot.html?botId=ZJkWuVb7Hp6EEcTIZKMZbvLwuDV&duid=1ml7MK2dvkmM37lFcEM...

@Annguyen   did you request porting (phone number transfer from your old provider to PM) ?  if so, that is normal until the porting process is completed.

 

if you have requested porting, you should receive a text from your old provider and you need to reply YES within 90 mins.  you got the text yet and you replied?  Usually after you reply YES, the porting will completed in around 30 minutes to 2 hours.  During this time, reboot your phone every 30 mins for an update
