@softech : The company is abysmal at responding around here. Few to none acknowledgements of a problem. Then even fewer announcing a problem is fixed.
@darlicious : Or the one report of changing the texting app. But doesn't it sound more like the ol' re/re of the SIM? Anyway, whatever works I guess.

Nope....that's all I got for ya....and the work around solution of putting your SIM card in another phone.

So, we don't have a confirmation from PM that this is indeed an issue they are aware of or if this issue is fixed yet, right?

@chrisnolan1989 @graticulate @amygun
Are you still experiencing this issue? One of my family members whose account I manage has experienced the same issues as you guys for about a week. No incoming calls or texts. Outgoing calls and texts ok.
I suggested she try the trick that the OP did in the link that @darlicious posted above. That is, move the SIM to another phone, then back again. As she didn't have access to another phone, she just moved the SIM to another slot on her dual SIM phone and it worked immediately. It continued working after she moved the SIM back to the original slot.
So maybe give that a shot. Move the SIM to another phone (or slot in a dual SIM phone) and then back again. Hope it works for you.
By the way, are you guys on the $15 plan by any chance?

This helped another maybe it will help you and @amygun .

I know you're trying to help but just shooting out an idea when people have actual network issues is a waste of everyones time and won't make your discount per month any bigger.

hey man, I was one of the first users to report this issue, i've spent the past week arguing with level 1 tech support over how this is 100% my phone and not an issue on their network. All we can do now is try the regular diagnostic steps and hope that Public Mobile can get their **bleep** together. Seriously some CSA dude refused to even read a single word I was writing while reiterating that I need to restart my phone 100 times. The telltale signs as far as I can tell are that you can send texts and calls but can not receive them. I would suggest logging into your selfserve account if you are able, and look under the usage tab. Let me know if it shows activity that you yourself have not seen.
I know this sucks, but honestly I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. It is not an issue with your sim card, anyone telling you to try cleaning your sim card does not know a bloody thing about cellphones or technology as a whole.

Still not working.
08-25-2021 05:07 PM
can you try it selecting the network to "3G ONLY"
for iPhone visit Here
or Here
for android visit Here ,
if you still not working do one thing Make sure your phone is off before removing your SIM card,
and do rebooting your phone take your SIM card out and waiting for a 2 minute and put it back and turn on -This one is quick and simple.
what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.
or can you do try reseat the SIM card
1. power off your device
2. take out the SIM card,
3. wipe it clean SIM card,
4. put it back and power on,
5. toggling airplane mode off/on,
and do again Rebooting your phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

Looks like this is a system issue. Hopefully pm gets to the bottom of it quickly. Response times are well under an hour.

Edit:
Unless you are a new customer porting in your number.

I am having the same issue! Incoming calls all going to voicemail and not receiving incoming texts. Outgoing, no problem.
I have a Samsung A70.

Looks like something happened a few days ago.....we will add you to the growing list of users with this problem.
This seems to be a brand new issue within the back end as this is the 5th customer in the last 48 hours reporting this issue. Maybe its time for the tech team to be directly involved.

I have tried all of the above and still not working...
Perform a RESET of your NETWORK SETTINGs.
If that doesn't work, yes, submit a ticket - @softech provided methods above.
If you do submit a ticket, and Customer Service says why this happened, please let us know. Strange other cases are popping up the last couple of days.
I wonder if it is area/tower/plan/other? specific?

@chrisnolan1989 I hate to just ask you to open ticket with PM.. but if you tried all the suggestions and still unable to receive calls and texts.. you might want to open ticket with PM Customer Support. There have been some number of posts about this last 2 days. It might need to get PM involved to re-provision your SIM on the system.

@chrisnolan1989 So, outgoing calls and text and data work without issue?
did you try reboot your phone?
did you try changing the network to "3G Only"
If both fail as well, try reseating the SIM (power off, take SIM out and wipe clean, then put it back and power up)

Check that your plan is Active. Have you tried shutting down the phone, then restarting ? Try toggling airplane mode on / off.
edit...can you call out and use plan data still ?
