@geopublic is right, usually you need to set up lg door data, but calls work out of the box
You may have a version that is missing required 3g frequencies (850 and 1900) in that case you would be stuck with data only device as (at least for now) pm doesn't offer volte (yet)
If that's the case you can do couple of things until you get another phone.
If you have lots of data you could open free fongo or TextNow and (use your friend's phone to) forward all calls to that new number. You can also use hangouts to call out for free North America and have your own number display when it's important to be calling from your phone

@Jo57 Public uses the 3G bands B2 and B5 for calling so make sure your phone is not set to use LTE only.

LG's seem notorious for needing a full factory reset.
Have a look at networks like WCDMA or UMTS or LTE or 3G or 4G. Don't use one that starts with GSM.

Did you port your phone to PM ? Try rebooting your phone. If you still need assistance then submit a ticket to a moderator by clicking on the question mark on the bottom right.

@Jo57 Try a network reset and restart your phone if it doesn't automatically do so. If this fails what's the make and model of your phone? Thanks. Stay safe.
